[Suggestions wanted] Energy-related triggers and conditions

[nielsrowinbik]

As part of our purpose-specific triggers and conditions feature, we have considered adding specific energy triggers and conditions. But, we have no real input on what those would look like and how they would work, and so I have come to you!

Let me quickly set the stage. With "purpose-specific triggers and conditions", we have added the ability for any integration to add triggers and conditions to Home Assistant, much like any integration can already add actions. These triggers and conditions could work cross-domain. So for example, we've added temperature triggers that respond to entities in the sensor, climate, and water_heater domains.

We were thinking about what we could do with the energy domain. Initially, we thought of triggers like:

• Monthly energy threshold crossed, which would trigger when your energy usage in a month exceeds a certain level
• The same for daily, weekly, yearly, etc.

But because energy usage probably fluctuates throughout the year, we felt these were nice, but not great.

Now, we'd like to hear from you: what sort of triggers/conditions related to your energy usage would you like to see added? What would you use them for? To help us understand your use case, please provide as much detail as possible! If you're already solving your use case another way, please let us know too and share how!
