Spot Forecast documentation

Spot Forecast is a Home Assistant integration that forecasts the day-ahead electricity price of the DE-LU, NL, DK1, DK2 or NO2 bidding zone, hour by hour, for the six days after the last published auction result. Per hour it gives an expected price, a peak-risk value (P90) and a low-price value (P10). It runs on open data from Energy-Charts and Open-Meteo, without an account or API key.

Page What it covers
Configuration Installing through HACS, the setup step, the options and what happens on first start.
Entities Every sensor, its attributes, the prices format and the long-term statistics.
Dashboard cards The forecast and look-back cards for the Plotly Graph Card.
How the model works Data, features, the three tree models, calibration, the schedule and the monthly model updates.
Accuracy The backtest figures per horizon, the peak and regime caveats, and how to check the error on your own install.
Smart Battery Pilot Using the forecast as the price source of Smart Battery Pilot.
Changelog Every release, from the GitHub release notes.

Installation and an overview are also in the README; the project website shows the forecast against the actual price as an interactive chart.
