# Notes:
# - This setup assumes you have entities like sensor.tibber_price and switch.shelly_plug_s correctly integrated.
# - The 'state: 'low'' part under conditions needs to match the actual value from your Tibber sensor that indicates the lowest price period. Adjust accordingly.
# - You might need to further customize the time conditions and the logic based on your exact needs and the behavior of your energy pricing data.
# - Remember to test the automation to ensure it works as expected and adjust as necessary.
