It might seem like overkill using home assistant, however, it makes doing things like that much easier. I have all my live power data (I have one of those octopus mini things so I can get 1 minute data), prices, saved via HA into influxdb and connected to grafana. The internet tells me to use VictoriaMetrics instead of influxdb as it's "better". A drop in replacement. If you have clamp on power meters or other devices, HA makes it easy to integrate it all. 

Then you can be this guy, PredBat, and make a crazy and excessively complex system which requires 48 hours of youtube to understand what's going on. 😅

Thanks Alex. I actually don't know this one. I am only at the start of journey. I was going to pull the data into influxdb + grafana combination, and later build a price forecast tool.
Perhaps this page can make my life easier.

Speaking of Octopus API, I'm lazy and use 
https://github.com/BottlecapDave/HomeAssistant-OctopusEnergy with home assistant. Probably you already know about it but if not, worth poking about in his repo as his add-on is very comprehensive.

Hi,

I will join you tonight at the space, and hope to work on getting data through the Octopus API.

See you tonight,

Hey 

How's it going? Happy Tuesday, it's open evening at the space today.

As ever, we're at...
   Suite H Kettock Lodge
   Innovation Park
   Campus Two
   Bridge of Don
   Aberdeen
   AB22 8GU
...there is sort of useful info on...
...and...

Press buzzer H and someone will come and let you in after a wee wait.

Reply if you have any questions, if you want to share your plans, or if you'd like a lift.

I'll be along around 8, is anyone heading in earlier? Will probably be tinkering with PHP and wiki stuff.

See you there

Andy
