A blueprint is a template that simplifies the process of creating automations by providing pre-configured settings and triggers. Using these blueprints, you can quickly set up automations tailored to Hydro-Peak.
HydroPeak provides the following sensors to monitor and prepare for peak events (where * is your offer):
-
Entity ID:
sensor.hydropeak_*_event_start - Description: A timestamp indicating when the next peak event begins.
-
Entity ID:
sensor.hydropeak_*_event_end - Description: A timestamp indicating when the next peak event ends.
-
Entity ID:
sensor.hydropeak_*_preheat - Description: A configurable timestamp allowing you to prepare devices in advance of a peak event.

Ensure you configure the integration with the correct rate plan offer for accurate results.
-
Use the timestamp sensors in your automations to turn off non-essential devices, adjust heating, or prepare your smart home for peak events.
-
Do not rely on diagnostic sensors for triggering automations.
-
If peak event data appears outdated or missing, you can refresh it by reloading the integration:
Settings → Devices & Services → Hydro-Peak → Options → Reload
This triggers an immediate update without needing to restart Home Assistant.
