Info

Die Dokumentation dieser Integration wird von ihrem Autor geschrieben und ist bisher nur auf Englisch verfügbar.

Unofficial connector, not affiliated with Nord Pool. It brings the day-ahead electricity prices of the Nord Pool market into Gladys: 22 bidding zones from France to Finland, read from the public data portal behind data.nordpoolgroup.com, without any account. Nord Pool is a trademark of Nord Pool AS.

What you get​

SurfaceContent
One device per areacurrent price, next price (15 minutes later), today's average, minimum and maximum, per kWh, in the currency you pick
Scene triggers"cheap period started / ended" (the N cheapest hours of the day), "price level changed" (very cheap, cheap, normal, expensive, very expensive, against today's average), "tomorrow's prices published"
Dashboard widgetnow, next, today's and tomorrow's average, the curve of the day with the current time, the price level and the cheapest window
Energy contracts (5.2+)the spot prices of ten areas as tariff calendars, and a "Nord Pool spot" contract template per area for the energy monitoring: spot price + your supplier margin + a monthly subscription + VAT

The prices are the wholesale market prices (the day-ahead auction, cleared at noon CET for the next day, in 15-minute slots since October 2025). Your supplier adds its margin, the grid fees and the taxes: the contract templates let you fill them in.

Setup​

  1. Install the integration from the store and open its Configuration screen.
  2. Pick your delivery areas (the bidding zone of your meter: FR for France, BE, NL, GER for Germany and Luxembourg, SE1 to SE4 for Sweden, NO1 to NO5 for Norway, DK1 and DK2 for Denmark, FI, AT, PL, EE, LT, LV), the currency of the sensors and the number of cheap hours per day (4 by default). Save.
  3. Open Discovery and create the device of each area.
  4. Put the Electricity prices widget on a dashboard, pick the area.

Nothing else: no key, no account. The integration reads Nord Pool at start and every hour, asks for tomorrow from 12:45 CET every 10 minutes until it is published, and moves the sensors every 15 minutes.

Scenes​

  • Cheap period started / ended: fires when the current slot enters or leaves the N cheapest hours of the day (N = "cheap hours per day"). Start the water heater, the charger, the washing machine.
  • Price level changed: fires at every change of level, with the new and the previous level; filter on a level to react only to "very expensive".
  • Tomorrow's prices published: fires once a day, around 13:00 CET, with tomorrow's average, minimum, maximum and the cheapest window (start and end), ready for a notification.

Every event carries the price, the currency and the end of the slot.

Two scene actions, for a condition or a message that follows:

  • Nord Pool price now: the price of the current 15-minute slot, its level, whether it is in the cheap hours, the next price, today's average, minimum and maximum, tomorrow's average once published, and the cheapest window of the day (window_start_time, window_end_time).
  • Nord Pool cheapest hours: the start and end of the cheapest N consecutive hours of a period (the next 24 hours, the rest of today, or tomorrow), with the minutes until the start and the saving against the period average. {{start_time}} and {{end_time}} are local times, {{start}} and {{end}} ISO dates for a "wait until"; {{found}} is false when the period has no prices yet (tomorrow before 13:00 CET).

Energy contracts (Gladys 5.2 or newer)​

For FR, BE, NL, GER, AT, FI, DK1, DK2, SE3 and NO1, the integration feeds a tariff calendar (spot-fr, spot-de-lu, spot-se3…) with the 15-minute spot prices, in the currency of the area, and backfills the last six weeks the first time. In Energy monitoring → Contracts, create a contract from the Nord Pool spot template of your area and fill in:

  • the supplier margin per kWh (add the per-kWh grid fees and levies here if you want them counted);
  • the monthly subscription;
  • the VAT rate (pre-filled for the country);
  • the fallback price, used for a slot that has no spot price yet.

The costs of your meter then follow the spot price slot by slot, and the core "current price" widget and scene trigger work with it. The other twelve areas have no calendar yet (the store allows ten per integration): tell us on the forum if you need yours.

Options​

  • Delivery areas: one device each; the sensors share the chosen currency.
  • Currency of the sensors: EUR, SEK, NOK, DKK or PLN, converted by Nord Pool at its daily rate. The calendars always use the currency of the area.
  • Cheap hours per day: how many of the cheapest hours count as "cheap" for the triggers and the widget window (1 to 12).

The Read the prices now button reads today and tomorrow and shows the current price of every area.

Troubleshooting​

  • "Nord Pool publishes no price for …": the area code is not priced by Nord Pool (check the list above), or the portal is down for the day.
  • "Nord Pool is unreachable": the integration keeps the last prices read and retries every 5 minutes.
  • No tomorrow's prices in the evening: Nord Pool publishes them between 12:45 and 14:00 CET on normal days; on an auction incident they can come later, the integration keeps asking every 10 minutes.
  • The contract costs stop at a date: the calendar is fed six weeks back at most; a contract dated earlier is priced with the fallback price before.

Privacy​

The integration only talks to the Nord Pool data portal, with a request that carries nothing but the date, the areas and the currency. Nothing of your home leaves Gladys.

So installierst du Nord Pool in Gladys​

  1. Öffne in Gladys Integrationen: Nord Pool erscheint im Katalog neben den nativen Integrationen, mit einem Community-Badge.
  2. Klicke auf Installieren. Gladys lädt das Docker-Image (ghcr.io/lm1lc3n7/gladys-nord-pool:1.1.0) herunter, startet es in einer vom Kern isolierten Sandbox und erzeugt die Oberfläche der Integration (Geräte, Erkennung und Konfiguration).
  3. Öffne den Bildschirm Konfiguration der Integration, fülle die Einstellungen aus und speichere.
  4. Du kannst sie auch direkt über die URL ihres Repositorys installieren: https://github.com/LM1LC3N7/gladys-nord-pool.

Nord Pool benötigt Gladys >=5.2.0. Der Katalog in Gladys wird stündlich aktualisiert, eine neue Version ist also spätestens eine Stunde nach ihrer Veröffentlichung verfügbar.

Über externe Integrationen​

Nord Pool ist eine externe Integration: eine Community-Integration, die als Docker-Container verpackt und auf GitHub veröffentlicht wird. Gladys installiert sie mit einem Klick und führt sie in einer vom Kern isolierten Sandbox aus. Sie wird von LM1LC3N7 veröffentlicht und gepflegt, nicht vom Gladys-Kernteam.
