Octopus Energy (UK) Flux has different sensors

[GraemeDBlue]

I use Flux and the sensors required do not match what is provided see

2026-03-17 08:35:24 | WARNING | core.bess.octopus_energy_source:116 - Export rates unavailable for 2026-03-17

the only ones available to configure are in this format

  octopus:
    import_today_entity: >-
      event.octopus_energy_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX_current_day_rates
    import_tomorrow_entity: event.octopus_energy_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX_next_day_rates
    export_today_entity: >-
      event.octopus_energy_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX_export_current_day_rates
    export_tomorrow_entity: >-
      event.octopus_energy_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX_export_next_day_rates

see https://bottlecapdave.github.io/HomeAssistant-OctopusEnergy/

there is sensor.electricity_current_rate

but that also returns

2026-03-17 08:47:52 | ERROR | core.bess.battery_system_manager:728 - Failed to fetch price data: No rates list in attributes from sensor.electricity_current_rate

Also this is all i see when i do
Find your entity IDs in Developer Tools > States, search for octopus_energy_electricity:

[GraemeDBlue]

it seems like these are the correct events, but they do not match the docs for Bess

  octopus:
    import_today_entity: event.current_day_rates_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX
    import_tomorrow_entity: event.next_day_rates_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX
    export_today_entity: event.current_day_rates_export_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX
    export_tomorrow_entity: event.next_day_rates_export_electricity_XXXX_XXXXX

@pookey - as contributor to Octopus support, can you help out here?

@GraemeDBlue I'm not quite following here - are you saying you've now got it working, and that the issue is simply that line 259+ in the INSTALLATION.md need a different format, as it appears that MPAN and SERIAL are not at the end of the sensor names, not the middle?

I think so , seems to not throw any errors but can't say if its "working" yet as still get these

[pookey]

There's a debug log in the top right of that page that will help explain more.

Also, if you have Claude Code, it's wonderful at helping with these things.

I'm on discord if you need help

Yeah I have already shared some info with @johanzander, but the SPH version is still not finished. Will work through and test.

[johanzander]

In the log there were several issues, we need to get the basic working, I fixed a few health check issues yesterday related to SPH. so when you have the octopus price working, try out the latest version: 5d447d3, and we can take the next issue.

[johanzander]

Did you get the Octopus sensors working @GraemeDBlue ?

So the status page says they ok, but as none of the rest is working yet, I dont see anything working just yet, but think they could be,
