Since I switched to a flexible electricity tariff (Tibber in my case) at home, I was looking for a way to indicate the current price level as well as the trend for the next few hours in an easy way. 

After some search, I found a project by Till-83 on Github which does exactly that with an 8x8 LED-matrix and a Wemos D1 Mini.

I designed a small case for the LED-matrix and the D1mini that allows to power the microcontroller via a standard Micro-USB cable.

What you need to complete this:

  • 8x8 LED Matrix   (Amazon
  • Wemos D1-Mini   (Amazon)
  • Till-83's code (for the use as Tibber Price Indicator)   (Github)
  • a Tibber tariff (for the use as Tibber Price Indicator)   (Tibber)

Thanks to Till-83 for sharing his code on Github!
