Reference: This diagnostic package ``` --- ## ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tools Provided ### Validation Script ```bash cd /Users/felix/Nextcloud/AI/projects/homeassistant python3 validate_pyscript.py ``` **Output**: Comprehensive analysis of both scripts ### Quick Commands Reference ```yaml # Reload PyScript service: pyscript.reload # Test price fetcher service: pyscript.getprices_extended # Test optimizer service: pyscript.calculate_charging_schedule # Test executor service: pyscript.execute_charging_schedule ``` --- ## ๐Ÿ“‚ File Reference ### Source Files (Development) ``` /Users/felix/Nextcloud/AI/projects/homeassistant/openems/ โ”œโ”€โ”€ battery_charging_optimizer.py (v3.2.0) โ””โ”€โ”€ hastrom_flex_extended.py (v2.0) ``` ### Production Location (Home Assistant) ``` /config/pyscript/ โ”œโ”€โ”€ battery_charging_optimizer.py โ””โ”€โ”€ hastrom_flex_extended.py ``` ### Documentation Generated ``` /Users/felix/Nextcloud/AI/projects/homeassistant/ โ”œโ”€โ”€ README_DIAGNOSIS.md (This file) โ”œโ”€โ”€ DIAGNOSIS_SUMMARY.md (Executive summary) โ”œโ”€โ”€ QUICK_FIX_REFERENCE.md (Quick reference) โ”œโ”€โ”€ TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE.md (Detailed guide) โ”œโ”€โ”€ diagnostic_pyscript_issues.md (Technical analysis) โ””โ”€โ”€ validate_pyscript.py (Validation tool) ``` --- ## ๐ŸŽ“ Understanding the Code ### Architecture Overview ``` Price Fetcher (hastrom_flex_extended.py) โ†“ Creates: sensor.hastrom_flex_pro_ext โ†“ Read by: Optimizer (battery_charging_optimizer.py) โ†“ Creates: pyscript.battery_charging_schedule โ†“ Read by: Executor (same file) โ†“ Controls: input_boolean.goodwe_manual_control โ†“ Triggers: Existing HA automations for battery control ``` ### Key Components **1. Price Fetcher** - Fetches haStrom FLEX PRO prices - Supports today + tomorrow data - Creates two sensors with price arrays - Runs hourly + special triggers at 14:05 and midnight **2. Optimizer** - Ranking-based algorithm - Selects N cheapest hours from combined dataset - Stores 48h schedule in state attributes - Runs daily at 14:05 after price update **3. Executor** - Reads schedule hourly - Matches current hour to schedule - Toggles manual control on/off - Sets charging power via helper **4. Timezone Handling** - All times in Europe/Berlin (CET/CEST) - Uses zoneinfo for proper DST handling - Requires Python 3.9+ --- ## โš ๏ธ Known Limitations 1. **Timezone Module**: Requires Python 3.9+ (HA 2021.7+) 2. **State Size**: Large schedules might exceed limits 3. **Service Calls**: Internal service calls might have syntax issues 4. **Entity Dependencies**: Assumes 15+ helper entities exist 5. **API Dependency**: Requires haStrom API availability --- ## โœ… Success Criteria The system is working correctly when: ### Price Fetcher Success: - โœ… `sensor.hastrom_flex_pro_ext` exists - โœ… Has `prices_today` array with 24 prices - โœ… Has `prices_tomorrow` array (after 14:00) - โœ… `last_update` shows recent timestamp - โœ… Logs show: "๐Ÿ“Š haStrom FLEX PRO Extended - Preise aktualisiert" ### Optimizer Success: - โœ… `pyscript.battery_charging_schedule` exists - โœ… Has `schedule` array with ~45-48 entries - โœ… Has `num_charges` > 0 (if battery not full) - โœ… `input_text.battery_optimizer_status` shows "X Ladungen" - โœ… Logs show: "=== Optimierung abgeschlossen ===" ### Executor Success: - โœ… Runs every hour at :05 - โœ… Finds matching schedule entry - โœ… Toggles `input_boolean.goodwe_manual_control` correctly - โœ… Sets `input_number.charge_power_battery` during charge hours - โœ… Logs show: "๐Ÿ”‹ AKTIVIERE LADEN" or "โœ“ Auto-Modus bereits aktiv" --- ## ๐Ÿ”„ Next Steps ### Immediate (Now): 1. Access Home Assistant logs 2. Call `pyscript.reload` service 3. Check for errors in logs 4. Follow QUICK_FIX_REFERENCE.md ### Short Term (Today): 1. Work through TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE.md 2. Enable debug logging 3. Test each component manually 4. Document findings ### Medium Term (This Week): 1. Verify all helper entities exist 2. Monitor automated runs 3. Check battery control behavior 4.
