I love this level of AI usage. AI has helped, and your HA works even smarter. It's a great level of nighttime home entertainment. :) Thanks for sharing!
This is something i've been trying to do for several years (optimise when battery is charged based on next day forecast and predicted load) Awesome idea to use AI. Would you consider writing this up in a blog format so others with less AI knowledge could try to "follow along" ?
That's quite a good example. Can Home Assistant modulate the charging speed of your car (to let the pump run at the same time when the PV power isn't great)?
@@bruxy70 I probably didn't pay attention enough but does the script do it? Have you measured the efficiency of charging at different powers (I believe a lower charging speed isn't always more efficient as the air conditioning pump is running for longer...on cars that use air conditioning during charging)
@@NicksStuff Yes, the script is setting a helper with the charging power. You are right about the efficiency. The script does not deal with it. OTOH, when charging from PV I kind of do not care. And when it charges from grid it charges full power.
the problem with generative Ai is that you cannot relay on its results... genAi nature is to provide you slightly different solutions each and every time. you can play with "temperature" model parameter, which makes it more strict in responses. but on the current level, it is nightmare to debug this. I believe it is much convenient to write script for that purpose. by utilizing simple logic you can program most of your scenarios. and it will give you stable and expected results
This is why I do not use LLM to do the actual control, but to develop the automation that then works consistently. It might not work right out of the box, this is why I was showing how I tuned that in Cursor. And hey, it works. And it is generally a good start, I can always (let it) rewrite the pieces that do not work exactly the way I want.

Wow what a challenge you have made, really exciting, well thought out
Hey this is really cool. I actually have my workigns that solar energy costs £0.15/kWh as that's its static sale value!

Yes, I have a wallbox integration that can change the maximum charging power between 1.4 - 11kW

Ahoj, Vaclave. Skvele video, diky za nej. V puvodnim promptu bylo u bazenove pumpy neco jako TEMPERATURE / 2. Proc? Jsou tam dve pumpy?
Nene, to je nějaká empirická hodnota. Čím teplejší voda, tím dele filtruji. O pul hodiny ma stupeň vice. Tak nějak to vychází.

@bruxy70 and you know what? this is very good approach!
First ha. Keep it up bud.
