Forecast and price providers
Beesley Energy can read forecasts and prices from these providers through Home Assistant. Some free plans for weather or solar forecasts limit commercial use or how often you can ask for data. If you use Beesley Energy for a business, or need frequent updates, check that your plan allows it. You get your own account or key from the provider and follow their terms.
