Publishes Tibber live consumption data from Tibber API per MQTT.

If you are a customer of Tibber and use a Tibber Pulse, you can retrieve realtime consumption data via the Tibber API.

This program publishes realtime consumption data from Tibber to one or more MQTT brokers of your choise.

The power consumption/ production value is published via MQTT as a single int16 or int32 value in Watts, negative values indicate power production.

• Go to https://developer.tibber.com/settings/access-token , log in with your Tibber credentials and you will see the access token
• After this, open https://developer.tibber.com/explorer and paste the following code into the left text box:

{
  viewer {
    homes {
      id
    }
  }
}

• Execute the query (play button above the text box) and you will see your home id in the left text box

The configuration is done via yaml file. The example file can be found in config/sample.yaml

To keep sensitive content out of config files, some parameters can be replaced by environment variables. See the example config file for the enviroment variable names.

• Python version 3.11 or newer with pip + venv

This program should run in any OS, but I have no capacity to test this, so feedback is appreciated. My test machines run Ubuntu and Raspbian.

git clone https://github.com/danielringch/tibber2mqtt.git
python3 -m venv <path to virtual environment>
source <path to virtual environment>/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

source <path to virtual environment>/bin/activate
python3 -B tibber2mqtt/tibber2mqtt.py --config /path/to/your/config/file.yaml

This program is also available as docker container:

docker pull danielringch/tibber2mqtt:latest

The container expects the configuration file at /config/tibber2mqtt.yaml

Example:

docker run --rm -it \
  -v /path/to/config/file:/config \
  -e T2M_TIBBER_TOKEN="my_token" \
  -e T2M_TIBBER_HOME="my_home_id" \
  -e T2M_MQTT_HOST_my_server="212.132.65.187:8883" \
  -e T2M_MQTT_USER_my_server="user" \
  -e T2M_MQTT_PASS_my_server="password" \
