This is great news. Seemingly small change but big improvement and a large job to get implemented I am sure.
Questions:
- Are the API and/or Node-RED nodes impacted? And if so, are the changes documented within Node-RED or elsewhere?
- Why do the forecast SoC% values keep shifting in time? On the VRM DESS dashboard the whole forward graph is regularly but not always of by an hour. The API results too also on the 15m timeframe values are ‘irrational/jumpy’ such as slot 0 equal to slot 3 while slot 1 and 2 seemingly correct. Very odd behaviour that breaks forward looking max/min/average calculations. (PS on v3.70~60, will report back if ~70 is different)
For reference, look at the 17:00 - 17:59 timeframe. SoC% should be on a constant slope from 15:00 to 20:00 but sometimes it isn’t sometimes it is.
PS, this SoC% forecast time shift was already noticeable before I implemented the zonneplan + zonnebonus price formula’s (todo: node-red flow for adjusting sunrise/sundown timeframe). For those interested, see below.
PPS, Can Victron provide some insights what is being worked on w.r.t. the VRM Scheduler, there have been multiple noticeable changes for which no changelog or other information can be found. Even though I welcome the fact that it is being worked on, it is cumbersome to be in the dark what and when things changes and having to reverse engineer the scheduler based on observable behavior when regressions take place, and they do with some regularity.
