End parameter for VRM predictions not as expected

I’m trying to convert my 3 year old automation in Node-Red from using Solcast directly to using the new VRM predictions. I want to monitor the next days Solar prediction to optimise overnight charging. I would have expected ‘start = beginning of tomorrow’ and ‘end = +24hrs’ to give the predictions for 24 hours starting tomorrow. However, this seems to give me an end time of +24 hours from ‘now’. Is this as designed or a bug please?

Yip, if the end is +24 hours it is relative to now, not the start time you have configured.
There should be an “end of tomorrow” option somewhere iirc.

Unfortunately there isn’t, the closest is ‘end of day’ but that errors - I assume because the start time is after the end time (of today).

With the VRM node you seem stuck with +24, +48, +72 hours.
You may be better off using a generic http node and constructing your own query from the API docs.

thanks. I’ll probably just use +48 and extract the data I need.

Maybe @dfaber can add these additional options to the todo list :slight_smile:

I ran into a similar problem.
No way to select end of day tomorrow.
Testing today plus 24 hours minus today to see if that gives me what I need

What’s working for me is to get +48hours then extract the data just for tomorrow
