Show HN: AI-Powered API to Forecast Day-Ahead Electricity Prices
I wanted to integrate electricity price forecasts into my HomeAssistant setup so I could do cool automations like waiting to start the laundry until prices are lower. However, I couldn’t find a good API for forecasting day-ahead electricity prices, so… I built one!
This API forecasts electricity prices for the Netherlands, using AI and machine learning under the hood to provide pretty decent estimates. I plan to keep improving it and expand it to other electricity markets.
With this API, you can: - Predict electricity prices for the Dutch day-ahead market. - Use the forecasts to optimize energy usage in your smart home setup.
This is an MVP, and I’d love to hear your feedback or ideas to make it even better!
