I’ve been closely following the evolution of projects from linux energy foundation (LEF). There a few interesting ones I’d like help integrating.
- OpenLEADR
openLEADR - LF Energy
Electric Utilities across North America offer incentive programs for being flexible with their energy consumption and earn $. While the programs don’t pay a lot of money, they certainly pay enough to cover the cost of RbPi4
Integrating OpenADR 2.0b Protocol which the LEF guys maintain as part of the OpenLEADR project can unlock a the potential to automate the energy reductions based on Grid conditions. DR Event Signals are sent by Utilities like PG&E. SCE or a number of 3rd party aggregators who run these programs.
- OpenEE Meter
OpenEEmeter - LF Energy
With HomeAssistant’s capability to connect to any smart home product, it’s become much more easier to study and understand the long term benefits of Energy efficiency projects, understand equipment fault detection and diagnostics.
Integrating with OpenEE methods allows taking data from sensors and running them through the analytical model defined in OpenEE repo.
