Energy Consumption Optimizer
Require: IP-Symcon >= 6.3
The module automatically switches variables when a source energy is undercut.
functional scope
- Switching on a device when sufficient energy is available
- Switching off a device when there is no longer enough energy available
- Different calculation options
- Absolute: devices are turned on until source energy is reached and turned off when power exceeds source energy.
- Relative: Devices are turned on when the source energy is above zero and turned off when the source energy falls below zero.
software installation
- Via the Module Store install the 'Energy Consumption Optimizer' module.
Setting up the instances in IP-Symcon
- Under 'Add Instance' the 'Energy Consumption Optimizer' module can be found using the quick filter.
- More information about adding instances in the Instances documentation
Configuration Page:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Source (W) | Reference variable, how much energy is consumed |
| Mode | Absolute or relative consideration of source energy |
| Hysteresis | Tolerance at which there is no switching |
| Consumers | List of all consumers with their consumption |
| Interval | Time to next update in seconds |
status variables and profiles
The status variables/categories are created automatically. Deleting individual ones can lead to malfunctions.
Status variables
The status variables are created per consumer. If there are 3 consumers in the module, 6 variables are created.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Priority | Integer | Order in which the consumers are viewed |
| Status | Link | Link to show the status of the consumer |
| Mode | Integer | Display how the consumer is currently being viewed |
Profile
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
| EO.Active | Integer |
| EO.Priority | Integer |
Associations EO.Active
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | The variable is switched active and is excluded from consideration |
| Inactive | The variable is switched off and is excluded from consideration |
| Automatic | The variable is switched according to priority and energy. |
Visualization
The priority of the consumers can be changed, as well as the way of viewing the consumers and the status of the variables.
