Flex D Sensors
Description of Flex D sensors
Sensor description
The following entities are created for the DPC (Flex D) rate. Peak event entities read their data from the dedicated calendar configured in the integration; see the Flex D blueprint for automations.
Warning
Entities that represent the current state (DPC Status, Critical Peak Active, Preheat Active) depend on the calendar events and the coordinator update. For automations that must run at a precise time, prefer the timestamp entities (Next Peak Start, Next Peak End, Next Preheat Start).
Sensors
| Entity | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DPC Status | normal / peak / critical_peak / off_season | Current period state. off_season outside the winter season (December 1 to March 31) |
| Next Peak Start | timestamp | Start of the next peak period |
| Next Peak End | timestamp | End of the next peak period |
| Next Preheat Start | timestamp | Start of the preheat period before the next peak (Diagnostic, disabled by default) |
| Critical Hours Count | number | Critical hours called so far this winter (Diagnostic). Attribute max: maximum number of critical hours |
| Winter Days Count | number | Days elapsed since the start of the winter period (Diagnostic). Attribute max: total number of winter days |
The dual-energy consumption entities High Price Consumption, Low Price Consumption and Flex D vs Rate D Difference are also available with this rate; see the Sensors reference.
Binary sensors
| Entity | Values | Description |

| Morning Peak Today | on / off | A critical peak is planned this morning (6h-10h) (Diagnostic, disabled by default) |
| Evening Peak Today | on / off | A critical peak is planned this evening (16h-20h) (Diagnostic, disabled by default) |
| Morning Peak Tomorrow | on / off | A critical peak is planned tomorrow morning (6h-10h) (Diagnostic, disabled by default) |
