How can you monitor usage by hour?

[dsldsl1980]

I don't know that this is an issue, but I am having a hard time getting this to work well with my energy plan. I get penalized for my highest hour of use during peak 4-7pm so I was hoping to get notifications based on how my hourly use is looking.

For example, if it is 4:33 PM, is it possible to see what my usage was for the last 33 minutes?

Thank you for all the work on this great integration!

A chart like this in your dashboard gives you hourly energy consumption. This might help you write a simply automation script that sends you notifications. Hope that helps.
