EDF Tempo

The EDF Tempo option offers 6 different kilowatt-hour prices, depending on the time of day (peak and off-peak) and the color of the day (blue days, white days and red days).

Various public APIs exist (such as those from energy manager/supplier, RTE and EDF), but they are not compatible with Loxone (token and/or format problems). Gateways have been implemented to retrieve data from the energy manager/supplier, act as a buffer, and present the endpoints in a Loxone-compatible format.

The non-official service used for this template is api-couleur-tempo.fr. It provides:

- The today's and tomorrow's EDF Tempo colors (blue, white or red) - The number of EDF Tempo days consummed and remaining in the year - The cost per kWh according to the period (off-peak/peak hours and color of the day)

All this information enables you to know exactly which period you're in, so you can adopt eco-actions and anticipate your electricity consumption needs according to the current and next day's color.

This template includes all these information (see the Virtual Input items in Download section). The configuration attached to this template displays all this information in a complete status block. A TTS notification is also added to warn the user on the next day color (if different than blue).

Important : Since this information doesn't change frequently, it's not necessary to force the query cycle too frequently, as this could saturate the services. The default cycle is every hour.
