Welcome to the emhass wiki!

This is the TODO list. The current work in progress is the creatin of an Add-On for Home Assistant OS users. The advancement is here: https://github.com/davidusb-geek/emhass-add-on

TODO

New functionalities

• Create a plotting script to visualize the optimization results.
• Propose multiple types of cost functions: profit maximization, self-consumption maximization, etc
• Integrate the possibility of variable tariffs, for purshasing and selling energy to the grid.
• Implement an energy management with a Model Predictive Control approach. Consider implementing the receiding horizon approach.
• Introduce the modeling of constraints during optimization for a thermal energy storage.
• Add elasticity to LP formulation in case on infeasible solution.

Related to forecasting improvement

• Define the type of forecast that should be used from the configuration file.
• Move get_load_unit_cost from optimization to forecast class: define forecast methods for load and PV production prices.
• Improve load forecasting using a time series forecast algorithm. Some tests were made with fbprophet but results are not completly satisfactory. The model needs some regressors for more accuracy.
• Test with LTSM with or without Autoencoders.

Packaging, HA integration, testing

• EMHASS hass been tested in Home Assistan Core. It need to be tested on Home Assistant Operating System and Home Assistant Container.
• Create an EMHASS add-on for even easier installation on Home Assistant Operating System and Home Assistant Supervised.
• Package everything in a docker container.
• Improve testing to be used with no running hass instance.
