ESPHome based Octopus Agile Display for Home Assistant
Now I'm on Octopus Agile, I wanted to have a display in the kitchen that shows the current Agile rate and all the upcoming rates along with current usage and accumulated cost. It also has some plain English text to advise you if you should wait until later, or use it now etc.
You can also touch the screen and it shows tomorrows rates when they are published.
There's a bar chart that's colour coded - blue for negative pricing, light green for under 12p, dark green under 25p, amber up to 30p and red for +35p.
It's definitely helped the family understand when they can load shift without having to ask me all the time!
Code and full setup guide are on GitHub: https://github.com/davewins/agile-energy-display".
I have to say using Claude really helped get the display right and I'm sure it saved me days worth of work.
