Enever
With the Enever hardware gateway, Dutch users can query/log their dynamic energy prices from various energy suppliers for Gas and Electricity into Domoticz. Source is the enever.nl website.
These prices can be used to control various devices (like washing machines, batteries) and be used for real-time cost calculations.
Note: After you have enabled and configured the Enever hardware gateway as instructed below you can go to menu Setup -> Settings, tab Meters/Counter to enable real time energy cost calculations based on the dynamic prices in the price devices created by the Enever hardware gateway.
