Home assistant integration for the Nordigen open banking API
Nordigen Home Assistant integration
This integration will allow you to have access to banking data for most banks in the EU.
Installation
HACS coming soon!
You will need to register on Nordigen and get an API key before you can run this integration. At this time there is only support for one API key per HA instance.
Installation
- Copy / clone this integration into
./config/custom_components/nordigen
- Restart Home Assistant to get the integration loaded
Configuraiton
- Add your config to
./config/configuration.yaml
or similar - Validate the config using UI or CLI.
- Restart Home Assistant
Authentication
- Check the developer section for sensors, there should be a sensor with the account number / reference containing a link to authenticate your account.
- Click the link and follow the instructions
- Restart Home Assistant one last time
In the future I hope to be able to make the system a bit more dynamic and user friendly for account onboarding :)
Configuration
Name | Type | Requirement | Description |
---|---|---|---|
token | string | Required | Your secret API token from Nordigen (use !secret !) |
requisitions | array | Required | List of banking institutions that will be connected |
debug | boolean | Optional | Still connects to the bank for account name, but balance is randomly generated witout connecting to the bank. (default False ) |
This integration pairs a "user id" with a banking institution. Each banking institution will return one or more accounts, each of which can have multiple types of balances.
Each requisition can contain the following options:
Name | Type | Requirement | Description |
---|---|---|---|
enduser_id | string | Required | A unique (to your HA install) identifier for the user these accounts will belong to. Generally a UUID |
aspsp_id | string | Required | The bank code for the institution being connected. This can be found either in the API examples on Nordigen or using the Client Libs (there are hundreds) |
refresh_rate | integer | Optional | Time in minutes between refresh (default is 240 min / 4 hours). Some banks are limited to 4 requests / day |
ignore_accounts | array | Optional | List of account numbers to ignore. For example might add accounts for 2 partners including a joint account (which would show up twice, once for each user). |
available_balance | boolean | Optional | Create a sensor based on the available balance (default True ) |
booked_balance | boolean | Optional | Create a sensor based on the booked balance (pending transactions) (default True ) |
max_historical_days | integer | Optional | Maximum days of history to collect (default 30 ) |
icon | string | Optional | Icon to use for the sensor, defaults to the currency symbol or USD when not available as an icon (default mdi:currency-usd-circle ) |
Example Config
Assuming you bank with a single institution, your config may look like this.
nordigen:
token: !secret nordigen
requisitions:
- enduser_id: user-id-1
aspsp_id: BANK_A
Should you have more than one institution you use (credit cards are often apart from current acounts)
nordigen:
token: !secret nordigen
requisitions:
- enduser_id: user-id-1
aspsp_id: BANK_A
- enduser_id: user-id-1
aspsp_id: BANK_B
Multiple users with the same institution, but ignoring an account
nordigen:
token: !secret nordigen
requisitions:
- enduser_id: user-id-1
aspsp_id: BANK_A
- enduser_id: user-id-2
aspsp_id: BANK_A
ignore_accounts:
- ACCOUNT_ID_1234
Derivative Sensors
You can build derivative sensors to view your total wealth for example
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
my_wealth:
unit_of_measurement: SEK
value_template: |
{{
(
(states('sensor.account_123_available') | float) +
(states('sensor.account_456_available') | float) +
(states('sensor.account_789_available') | float) +
) | round(2)
}}
Automations
Turn off your outside lights when your account balance is getting low.
automation:
- alias: "broke"
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.account_123_available
below: 2500
action:
- service: light.turn_off
target:
entity_id: light.exterior_lighting
Technical details
I wanted to have good test coverage and could not find a good way to do it within this integration so I've abstracted out all the code into a standalone python lib.
That in turn uses a generic API [clinet lib] for Nordigen
About Nordigen
Nordigen is an all-in-one banking data API for building powerful banking, lending and finance apps. They offer a free API for fetching account info, balances and transactions. They also handle all the authentication between the banks and do a little bit of data nomilisation.
