Beta release for testing #70

on GitHub

Content

This preview release contains a preview of the #70 feature.

Don't install it if you are not invited to do so.

To use this feature, you should:

1. read carefully the README to learn how it works,
2. change the integration configuration (parameters / integration / solar optimizer / configure) and update the reset time (when the total activation duration is resetted ; ie the begining of the day). It has been set to "05:00",
3. update your configuration.yaml (or solar_optimizer.yaml if you have externalized it) and add some configuration for device that should be activated at a minimum duration: offpeak_time and `min_on_time_per_day_min. See readme for their meaning.

You have example in the readme:

solar_optimizer:
....
  devices:
    ....
    - name: "Water boiler"
      # 2 hours per day maximum
      max_on_time_per_day_min: 120
      # 1h per day minimum ...
      min_on_time_per_day_min: 60
      # ... starting at 22:30
      offpeak_time: "22:30"

This will start you Water boiler at least 60 min per day even if the solar production has been too weak.

Don't hesitate to make some remarks in the comment of the issue #70 .
