Use the custom template to show the next x cheapest hours

Copy the custom_templates/FindCheapestPrice.jinja to the custom_templates directory in your config folder (if it doesn't exist then create the folder) Reload Home Assistant and use the Jinja template by inserting the example below in a template sensor helper

{% from 'FindCheapestPeriod.jinja' import FindCheapestPeriod%}
{% set earliestStartTime = now() %}
{% set latestStartTime = now() + timedelta(days=2) %}
{% set periodLength = timedelta(hours=3) %}
{{ FindCheapestPeriod(earliestStartTime , latestStartTime , periodLength, false) }}

This will result in a sensor showing the cheapest 3 hours within the known prices
