PELS
Hard cap breach imminent — no managed devices left to limit
PELS
Power control and cheaper-hour scheduling for EV charging, heating and hot water.
PELS (Pris- og Effektstyrt Energilagringssystem) helps homes use cheaper electricity hours while keeping EV charging, heating, hot water, or ventilation under a chosen power limit. It watches whole-home power from Homey Energy, Tibber Pulse, AMS/HAN/P1 meters, or Flow data, and lowers, pauses, or turns off lower-priority devices before the limit is crossed. When available power returns, PELS resumes them in priority order.
PELS can use spot prices from Homey Energy or external Flow prices; in Norway it can also factor in grid tariffs and strømstøtte/Norgespris. Flexible devices can run in cheaper hours when there is room, while the power limit still takes priority. Use modes such as Home, Away and Night to give each routine its own comfort targets and priorities. Set a daily budget when you want PELS to pace energy use across the day. For one-off goals, tell PELS the target and ready-by time, such as charging the EV by morning, warming a room before you get home, or heating water before it is needed. In the app, you do this with Smart tasks.

언제...
Fires when PELS expects this hour to exceed the hard cap and every managed device is already turned off or at its lowest step. Use it to alert someone to turn something off by hand. Daily budget overruns do not fire this trigger.
PELS
Smart task ended for Device
Fires once when a smart task ends. The [[outcome]] tag tells you how it ended — succeeded (target reached and held), missed (ready-by time passed before reaching the target), or abandoned (cleared by hand or the device dropped out). Values are stable lowercase ids — filter on them downstream. The [[shortfall_known]] flag is false when the device-side delta was not observable and [[shortfall]] fell back to 0; gate any numeric comparison on it.
PELS
Smart task schedule changed for Device
Fires when the smart task is rescheduled with a different number of hours — for example when new prices arrive, or when the device runs faster than estimated. Hour swaps that keep the same total and kWh-only redistributions stay quiet.
PELS
Smart task status changed for Device
Fires when PELS saves a new smart task status for the chosen device. Short mid-hour recalculations do not fire it. Filter on the [[status]] tag downstream; values are stable lowercase ids: waiting / on_track / at_risk / unachievable / satisfied.
PELS
PELS wants Device at a different step
Fires when PELS decides a stepped device should move to a different configured step. Use it in flows that translate PELS intent into a vendor-specific action.
PELS
Operating mode changed to Operating mode
Use this to trigger flows when PELS switches to a different operating mode.
PELS
Price level changed to Price level
PELS
PELS price list was updated
PELS
Current price is one of Lowest count lowest in the Hours hours before End hour:00
PELS
Current price is one of Lowest count lowest prices today
PELS
Device smart task has Hours remaining (or fewer) hours or fewer remaining
Fires once when the hours remaining until the smart task's Ready by drops to the chosen value or fewer. Re-arms when the Ready by is rescheduled. Use it to act a fixed lead-time before a deadline (e.g. 2 hours or fewer). The [[hours_remaining]] tag carries the whole hours remaining at the crossing.
그리고...
PELS
Device smart task is Status
True when the saved smart task status for this device matches the chosen status.
PELS
Device has a smart task
True when this device has a smart task stored in PELS.
PELS
Is there enough available power for Required power (kW) kW?
Use this to check if the current available power is enough to add the requested load.
PELS
Does Device have available power for Required power (kW) kW?
True when the house has room for this device to draw the requested kW. PELS waits about 60 seconds after limiting the device, and asks for extra room when recent attempts to bring it back already fell short — so flows do not flap the device on and off.
PELS
Operating mode is Mode
Use this to create flows that only run when PELS is in a specific mode (e.g., Home, Away, Night).
PELS
Device has budget exemption
Use this to check if the selected device is ignored by daily budget control while still counting in real usage.
PELS
Is power-limit control enabled for Device?
Use this to check whether PELS may limit or resume the selected device to stay under the hard cap.
PELS
Is Device managed by PELS?
Use this to check if PELS is currently managing the selected device.
PELS
Price level is Price level
PELS
Current price is one of Lowest count lowest in the Hours hours before End hour:00
PELS
Current price is one of Lowest count lowest prices today
그러면...
PELS
Add budget exemption for Device
Exclude this device from daily budget control. Real usage still counts in charts and budget reporting.
PELS
Allow Device's smart task to Permission When
Choose what PELS may do to keep this smart task's deadline, and when — go over today's budget, or limit lower-priority devices so this task gets the power it needs. 'While it's scheduled to run' applies it the whole time the task is active; the change takes effect on the next plan refresh and sticks until you change it or clear the smart task.
PELS
Clear smart task for Device
Removes the active smart task for this device.
PELS
Disable power-limit control for Device
Keep PELS from limiting or resuming this device while power-limit control is disabled.
PELS
Enable power-limit control for Device
Allow PELS to limit or resume this device to stay under the hard cap.
PELS
Remove budget exemption for Device
Make this device follow daily budget control again.
PELS
Report battery level for Charger device as Battery level (%) %
Store battery percentage for a managed charger without requiring the charger itself to expose a battery capability.
PELS
Report power Power (W) W
Send the current whole-house power reading (W) from your meter so PELS can track hourly energy use and stay under the hard cap.
PELS
Report stepped load for Device as Step
Use this after a vendor-specific action card, or when the device changes step outside PELS, so PELS knows which configured step is currently selected.
PELS
Report stepped load for Device matching Power
Use this when a device app gives you a power value instead of a step name. PELS matches the configured step by planning power. Accepts values like 1750 or 1750 W.
PELS
Set capacity limit to Limit (kW) kW
Use this to dynamically adjust your capacity limit based on time of day, electricity prices, or other conditions.
PELS
Set operating mode to Mode (e.g. home, away, vacation)
Use this to automatically switch PELS modes based on time, presence, or other triggers in your flows.
PELS
Set daily budget to Budget (kWh) kWh
Use this to adjust your daily energy budget from flows. Set to 0 to disable the daily budget.
PELS
Charge EV charger to Target battery (%) % by Ready by
PELS plans charging from the device settings, prices, budget, and the hard cap. The smart task auto-disables once the deadline passes; run this card from a recurring Flow (e.g. when the EV is plugged in) to re-arm it for the next session.
PELS
Set EV charger charging phase to Phase
Use this after the charger or car is already using this phase. PELS uses it to calculate charging power; it does not switch the charger hardware.
PELS
Set external prices for today from Price data (JSON)
Paste the price JSON from Power by the Hour's "price changed" card tag. Single quotes are accepted (e.g., {'0':0.2747,'1':0.2678,...}).
PELS
Set external prices for tomorrow from Price data (JSON)
Paste the price JSON from Power by the Hour's "price changed" card tag. Single quotes are accepted (e.g., {'0':0.2747,'1':0.2678,'2':0.261,...}).
PELS
Heat Device to Target temperature (°C) °C by Ready by
PELS plans heating from the device settings, prices, budget, and the hard cap. The smart task auto-disables once the deadline passes; run this card from a recurring Flow (e.g. on a daily schedule) to re-arm it for the next run.
