HACSCloud polling
Home Assistant integration for Austrian fuel prices (E-Control Spritpreisrechner API)
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

Limitations from the README
- API covers Austria only, neighbouring countries are not returned.
- Each query returns at most 5 stations with prices for the requested fuel type.
- Don't poll faster than every 10 minutes (informal API rate limit).
- Best-refuel recommendation needs ≥ 7 days of history; improves up to 28. Window length is unbounded, it's whatever contiguous run of hours sits within ~0.5¢/L of the cheapest bucket median. 1-hour granularity inside it.
- Austrian public holidays are not modelled separately in the best-refuel pipeline.
- The DST transitions twice a year alias the local-clock label of one hour (skipped in spring, doubled in autumn). Real elapsed time is counted correctly; the label aliasing is negligible over a 28-day window.
- averageprice` is the average of the 5 cheapest only, not a regional average.
- Long-term statistics record whatever the entry currently watches. In dynamic mode that is a radius that moves with you, so a long series mixes locations, the numbers are only comparable for a fixed location.
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
