Is there a way to achieve net zero?
Feedback is allowed, but more than consumption (negative) feedback is not compensated. Can I set (D)ESS in such a way that the grid energy I use during the night gets feedback until the meter is back at its original position. Then feedback stops. My energy bill should result in 0.
Currently I’m estimating feedback to the grid looking at my monthly consumption and just adjust the grid point to achieve a slight positive energy bill.
I’d like to keep my batteries charged (especially at night) due to frequent grid failures.
With node red it is possible.
I have been working on a flow that i input the meter value into. It reads the last night overnight energy consumption then feeds back energy to the same value the next day. Ends up with one night consumption on the bill. (They read erratically otherwise I would have an adjustment for that too)
In theory you don’t need a meter input section.
Still a work in progress. (And not one I would give away.)
I don’t use dess so haven’t looked at it as a solution.
Thanks LX! I thought Node Red was going to be the answer.
Is there a way to run node Red on a separate device (Rpi for example) and avoid having to install the large Venus OS on the Cerbo? I’ve read some negative consequences from running the large Venus image on the Cerbo and am trying to avoid that. If it’s possible to run Node Red on a separate device that then directs the Cerbo to act on certain parameters, would be a good option for me.
