3.8.5 - Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes

• Removed the requirement for numpy==1.25 on AppDAemon config. This appears to have been fixed

Features

• Improved redaction of sensitive data in log file

What's Changed

• Dev by @fboundy in #120

Full Changelog: 3.8.4...3.8.5

3.8.4

Implements #115 and allows an estimate of fixed daily consumption to be used instead of historical consumption. This will require the updated pvopt_dashboard.yaml and is described in the ReadMe as follows:

Consumption Parameters

These parameters will define how PV Opt estimates daily consumption:

Parameter	Units	Entity	Default	Description
Use Consumption History	on/off	switch.pvopt_use_consumption_history	On	Toggles whether to use actual consumption history or an estimated daily consumption
Consumption History Parameters
Load History Days	days	number.pvopt_consumption_history_days	7	Number of days of consumption history to use when predicting future load
Load Margin	%	number.pvopt_consumption_margin	10%	Margin to add to historic load for forecast (safety factor)
Weekday Weighting	fraction	number.pvopt_day_of_week_weighting	0.5	Defines how much weighting to give to the day of the week when averaging the load. 0.0 will use the simple average of the last n days based on load_history_days and 1.0 will just used the same day of the week within that window. Values inbetween will weight the estimate accordingly. If every day is the same use a low number. If your usage varies daily use a high number.
Daily Consumption Parameters
Daily Consumption	kWh	number.pvopt_daily_consumption_kwh	17	Estimated daily consumption to use when predicting future load
Shape Consumption Profile	on/off	switch.pvopt_shape_consumption_profile	On	Defines whether to shapoe the consumption to a typical daily profile (on) or to assume constant usage (off)
