Electricity price list
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
Day-ahead prices represent the result of Nord Pool’s day-ahead implicit auction market.
Peak = 09:00 to 20:00
Off peak 1 = 01:00 to 08:00
Off peak 2 = 21:00 to 24:00
Average = arithmetic average
History of temperature rises above threshold
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of when the temperature rises above a threshold you specify. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
