This integration adds the French EDF Tempo electricity tariff to Gladys: today's and tomorrow's official color, forecasts up to 15 days ahead, the red and white days left in the season, a "Tempo forecasts" dashboard widget and three scene triggers.
Data comes from the free public API of calendrier-tempo.fr: no account, no key, nothing to fill in.
Requirements
- Gladys Assistant 5.1 or later.
- Internet access from your Gladys.
Getting started
- Install the integration from the Gladys catalog.
- Open the Discovery tab of the integration and create the Calendrier Tempo EDF device (one click).
- Add the Tempo forecasts widget to your dashboard if you like.
What the device provides
Feature names are in French. Colors are bleu (blue), blanc (white) and rouge (red).
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Aujourd'hui (officielle) | today's official color |
| Couleur actuelle | the color that applies right now: the previous day's until 6:00 |
| Période tarifaire | hp (peak hours, 6:00 to 22:00) or hc (off-peak) |
| Demain (officielle) | inconnue (unknown) until EDF announces it, around 11:00 |
| Prévision J+2 to J+5 | forecast color, the most reliable range |
| Jours rouges sur 15 jours | red days, official or forecast, from today to D+15 |
| Prochain jour rouge / blanc | date of the next red or white day (YYYY-MM-DD), or aucun (none) |
| Jours rouges / blancs restants | red and white days left in the season |
To drive heating, use Couleur actuelle: a Tempo day runs from 6:00 to 6:00.
Configuration
One option: Also publish D+6 to D+15 forecasts (off by default). It adds one feature per day; these forecasts are an indicative trend. After changing it, update the device from the Discovery tab. The widget always shows all 15 days.
Scene triggers
- Tomorrow's Tempo color announced: EDF has just published tomorrow's color. Filter by color; variables
couleuranddate. - Red day forecast: a date from D+2 to D+15 is now forecast red. Filter by reliability; variables
date,jours_avant(days ahead),probabilite_rouge(in %) andfiabilite. - Tempo day started: at 6:00, with the day's color. Filter by color.
Each event is sent once, even after a restart. Installing the integration fires nothing.
For a scene on a feature of the device, prefer the integration's triggers, or tick the Gladys threshold option.
Reliability
Only the color published by EDF is official. From D+2 to D+5 the forecast is in the range where the site measures its performance, the most reliable one; from D+6 to D+15 it is a trend. Success rates are published on the methodology page, not in the integration.
Troubleshooting
- No device in Gladys: create it from the Discovery tab; the integration never creates it by itself.
- "Disconnected" status on the Configuration screen: calendrier-tempo.fr is not answering. The integration retries 5 minutes later, then every 30 minutes. Official colors already read stay displayed for their date, even after a restart; forecasts and days left are kept for 24 hours at most.
- Tomorrow's color is
inconnuein the morning: expected, EDF announces it around 11:00. The integration reads the API again at 11:35 (Paris time).

How to install Calendrier Tempo EDF in Gladys
- In Gladys, open Integrations: Calendrier Tempo EDF appears in the catalog, next to the native integrations, with a community badge.
- Click Install. Gladys pulls the Docker image (
ghcr.io/thomasissa-png/gladys-calendrier-tempo:0.1.0), starts it in a sandbox isolated from the core, and generates the integration's interface (devices, discovery and configuration). - Open the Configuration screen of the integration, fill in the settings, and save.
- You can also install it directly from its repository URL: https://github.com/thomasissa-png/gladys-calendrier-tempo.
Calendrier Tempo EDF requires Gladys >=5.1.0. The catalog inside Gladys refreshes every hour, so a new version becomes available at most one hour after its release.
Not running Gladys yet? It is free and open source: follow the installation guide to get started.
