Re: planning battery charging/discharging with hourly electricity prices (now incl solar)

In the script rows
350: # print("processing price ",price," for qtr ",priceQtrNr)
356: # print("new avgprice",hourAvgPrice)
prevent a proper JSON to the dzvents script.
When commented out, the script works flawless!
Thanks!

Re: planning battery charging/discharging with hourly electricity prices (now incl solar)

So, thank you so much for your responses; I really appreciate them. The problem is that my provider actually uses 15-minute prices (Tibber).
In the meantime, I've tried (and am still trying) to reverse-engineer your script in Excel to better understand how it works. So far, I've come to the ...

How to view the output of a persistant data filter function?

Hello all,

Breaking my head over the following:
I have a persistent data table.
this code:

print('Today item 01 = '..dz.data.TMPTODAY.get(1).data[1]..', '..dz.data.TMPTODAY.get(1).data[2])
print('Today item 48 = '..dz.data.TMPTODAY.get(48).data[1]..','..dz.data.TMPTODAY.get(48).data[2])

Hi WillemD,

Fair enough and fully understandable, still hoping of course. The second part of my energy control heavly depends on your script. I dynamically 'split' my battary capacity in a Consume and Trade part were the last one is only charged at the lowest prices or with exess solarpower. The ...

Re: planning battery charging/discharging with hourly electricity prices (now incl solar)

So the script stopped working because Entsoe switched to a 15min resolution. I lack the knowledge to change the script so I'm hoping somebody is able to change it?

Re: planning battery charging/discharging with hourly electricity prices (now incl solar)

OK, so for the last 2 years the script worked pretty good and it still does! Many thanks for that!

However, in October Tibber (and I assume ENTSOE as source as well) will move to a quarterly setup. Is it possible to:
1) change the script so it can update prices per quarter instead of per hour?
2 ...

Re: Nest thermostat

OK, so that didn't work, but it set me onto the right track.

Long story short: if I use my W11 worklaptop to gather Token and Cookie, then after an roughly an hour it doesn't work anymore. Sidenote, yes I did clear cache, logged out of all Google account related devices, etc.

Hi Tom,

You've got me triggered: I am using this plugin for ages (previously the one from Roland Breedveld) and only checked the version number (2.3.0). But apparently some minor changes have been made. So after a full blown update of Linux, I recopied the files (removed the complete folder first ...

Nest thermostat

Hello everybody,

since a couple of months the Nest plugin (FilipDem) seems to behave differently. In the past I would only have to change Token and Cookie perhaps once or twice a year. At the moment it will only be 'remembered' less then an hour. I already logged out of anything Google Home or Nest ...

Re: planning battery charging/discharging with hourly electricity prices (now incl solar)

1) somehow it started working. I'm not quite sure why but suspect one of the reboots I did, made it start. Anyway, it works and that is enough for me.
2 & 3) that explains indeed a lot! I assumed (yeah, I know) that south=0 automatically meant north=180. That is the case but that doesn't mean east ...

Re: planning battery charging/discharging with hourly electricity prices (now incl solar)

Hi, I really like your script but there are some things I can't get working:
1) the hourly action gives the following error: Planning output not as expected, no JSON received. I can read (sort of) scripts, but I can't figure out why this JSON isn't published/readable. The TXT is updated, but because ...

Re: Python plugin: Presence detection from wireless router

Will do a rollback to a clean basic Domoticz system, make sure to update Ubuntu and try to reinstall iDetect with given suggestions. I'll post the proper install sequence ones I have a working iDetect again.

Thank for your help so fare!

Much appreciated!

Re: Timer between time/day and time day doesn't work

Changed some parameters and I am now testing with 'at 7:30-0:29 on mon' which is working.

Question: does DzVents know that if the stop time is smaller then the start time, the stop day should be the next day and not the same as the starting day?
In other words: is 'at 7:30-0:29 on mon' the same as ...

Re: Timer between time/day and time day doesn't work

Yes, that works.

Problem with that solution (I understand it is part of the troubleshooting) is that the second date/time could be after midnight. E.g: between 7:30 on mon and 0:30 on tue. And I don't know how to make that work with 'at'.

Tried at 7:30 on mon and 23:29 on mon -> not working ...
