Fallback pricing provider

[ronaldt80]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use entso-e as pricing provider. Frustratingly though it has abandoned us a few times due to issues upstream. EV Smart Charger has become the main charging planner in my household so this is highly unwelcome

Describe the solution you'd like Fallback option, eg ability to input 2 pricing sensors, a primary and secondary. Secondary comes into action when the primary is empty/causes errors

Describe alternatives you've considered A template sensor which mirrors the values of entso-e; when the data is incomplete fall back to nordpool or tibber for filling the template sensor

Additional context N/A

I see the point. I have had some issues with another pricing provider integration in the past, and actually been thinking about this.

I suggest: https://www.energyforecast.de/ for personal use and 48h forcast free and up to 96h for only one time 10€ https://www.energyforecast.de/pricing based on https://github.com/mampfes/ha_epex_spot but 48 forecast!!

Northpool is free as wel as ntsoe you just need to request an api.

The integration now has support of GE-Spot price integration, which supports multiple pricing providers and fallback.
