HydroPeak is a Home Assistant integration designed to help you monitor Hydro-Québec peak events. This integration helps you optimize your energy consumption and potentially reduce costs by leveraging preheat events and peak event timings.
You can install the HydroPeak integration manually.
Download the repository files and place them in the custom_components/hydropeak directory of your Home Assistant instance.
- After installation, add the HydroPeak integration in Home Assistant by navigating to Configuration > Integrations > Add Integration > search for HydroPeak.
- Configure the integration:
- Select Your Hydro-Québec Savings Offer: Choose from available options such as Flex-D or Winter Credit.
- Set your Preheat Start time (when your devices should prepare before the peak event starts).
Once configured, HydroPeak will create the following sensors in Home Assistant:
- Event Begin: A timestamp showing when the peak event will begin.
- Event End: A timestamp indicating when the peak event will end.
- Preheat Start: A timestamp when devices should start preheating or preparing, as configured during setup.
These sensors allow you to automate and monitor your energy usage based on the upcoming peak events.
HydroPeak uses open data provided by Hydro-Québec to monitor peak events. The integration pulls data related to peak event schedules and offers to provide a smooth user experience with real-time updates.
A detailed list of Hydro-Québec offers and descriptions, as well as information about open data, can be found here: Hydro-Québec Open Data - Peak Events.
By integrating this data with Home Assistant, users can automate their devices, manage their energy consumption more efficiently, and stay informed about peak events to reduce unnecessary energy use during peak times.
