 # Changelog
 
+## 0.18.2
+
+**A patch bump: one fix to how the 15-minute demand forecast sensor is read, and no option changes.**
+No option was added, removed or renamed, and no default changed (86 options).
+**Existing installs need no option change:** options that start 0.18.1 also
+start 0.18.2. Only a forecast sensor with no power unit needs a look (below).
+The change below applies with one inverter or two.
+
+**A forecast sensor with no power unit.** If your 15-minute demand forecast
+sensor has no unit, or a unit that is not power (for example kWh), the add-on
+now ignores that forecast. The log warns once, and the Home and Settings pages
+say so while it lasts. Pick a sensor that reads in W or kW.
+
+Contents of this release, in merge order since 0.18.1 (`780c1f6`):
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `09a5485` | The 15-minute demand forecast sensor is now read in its own unit, W or kW, and the old rule that took any value below 50 as kW is gone. With no unit, or a unit that is not power, the forecast is not used, and the log and the pages say so; the settings page no longer says a kW sensor is taken as watts ([[SAFETY-118]], #198) |
+
+### Known issues
+
+- A false "Battery is not keeping up" can still show when the peak guard pauses a maintenance charge ([[SAFETY-92]]).
+- A battery capped at a low limit with a perfectly flat reading can still trip the stale check ([[SAFETY-74]]).
+- A battery whose reading at rest is beyond about ±175 W is still not caught when it refuses ([[SAFETY-97]]).
+- The peak guard can still back off near the end of a 15-minute period when a meter reading is late, by less than 30 s ([[SAFETY-99]]).
+- Two inverters: the maintenance charge can switch on and off while the house is above the peak aim ([[SAFETY-88]]).
+- Two inverters: the "circulating" figure counts a battery's reading at rest ([[SAFETY-98]]).
+- Two inverters: a drain that starts during a big step in house use can send the other battery to full power, and about 1 kW goes to the grid for about 10 s ([[SAFETY-104]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery comes back during a maintenance charge, the grid can step by several kW at once ([[SAFETY-101]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery drops out during a solar surplus, the others can swing by up to 1.5 kW in a simulation ([[SAFETY-105]]).
+- Two inverters: after a drain ends, a change in house use can go unanswered for about 9 s, because some readings are old ([[SAFETY-106]]).
+- Two inverters: when one battery's level is missing, both batteries are held at 0 W, and for about 15 s the last command stays on ([[SAFETY-108]]).
+- Two inverters: if one battery's level stays missing for 12 h, the other battery's cycle can be marked failed, with a 7-day wait and a notice, though it is healthy. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-17]]).
+- When the 15-minute demand forecast sensor counts the battery's own charge, the maintenance charge runs at about half the power the peak limit leaves, so it takes about twice as long. Seen on a site: about 1.2 kW instead of 2.5 kW, and the peak limit was kept ([[SAFETY-111]]).
+- One inverter: after a link drop, the battery's own safety stop to 0 W can be taken as a refusal, and the site stays at 0 W for up to 15 min ([[SAFETY-102]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, control still waits until Home Assistant has finished starting, which can take several minutes, though the readings are already there ([[SAFETY-115]]).
+- While Home Assistant is not answering, the page can list inverters as refusing commands and sensors as missing, and send you to Developer Tools, though they are fine ([[UX-37]]).
+- If Home Assistant hangs or stops, the page keeps saying "Waiting for Home Assistant" and never turns into an alarm ([[SAFETY-113]]).
+- Right after Home Assistant has started, the page can say for about 4 s that an inverter cannot be controlled, and the first command can come late ([[SAFETY-114]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, the controller status sensor can still say "running" while the add-on cannot control. It was seen once, and the cause is not known ([[SAFETY-116]]).
+- Battery modes on: after a planned top-up from the grid, the Batteries screen can say "Enough sun is forecast" ([[UX-32]]).
+- Battery modes on: the forecast line "we count on" can show more sun than the plan counts, because the plan takes house use off first ([[UX-33]]).
+- Battery modes on: before a planned top-up, the Today list shows a smaller "gives" amount than the plan will use; it grows as the charge happens ([[UX-34]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while the other battery is in its maintenance charge, a battery's card can say it charges from the grid while it stays at 0 W ([[OPT-18]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while a battery refuses to charge in a cheap run, the action log on the page gets about 8 lines an hour for its retries, and the page hint says "waiting for a better price" ([[UX-38]]).
+- A battery in a safety stop, or one the add-on cannot reach, can still be started for a cycle, and its drain then waits about 12 h and ends in a failed-cycle notice. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-19]]).
+- On the Settings page, the rows of the solar forecast lists are labelled "Phase 1", "Phase 2" instead of "Sensor 1", "Sensor 2" ([[UX-27]]).
+- In the solar forecast list, a blank or repeated row makes "source 2 of 2" count differently from the rows on the Settings page ([[UX-28]]).
+- The solar forecast message says "has no reading" also when the sensor shows a number that is too old or in the wrong unit ([[UX-29]]).
+- If you use only the forecast lists, two Settings notes sit on the single-sensor field, and one of them tells you to set that field ([[UX-30]]).
+- After a restart during a price outage, the "No prices" message can say "yet" when prices did come in earlier ([[UX-39]]).
+- On the new settings page, you cannot see whether a price service token is set. Check the Configuration tab ([[UX-41]]).
+- On the classic settings page, the first click on Save after editing a field can do nothing. Click again ([[UX-42]]).
+- The price chart on the Home page shows one bar per hour, the average of four 15-minute prices, while the add-on decides on the 15-minute prices ([[UX-45]]).

+
+**Price rounding on 0.18.0.** On 0.18.0, the new settings page saved the fixed,
+day and night prices rounded to 2 decimals (0.34512 became 0.35); prices in time
+windows kept their decimals. If you typed more than 2 decimals in those
+fields on 0.18.0, enter them again.
+
+Contents of this release, in merge order since 0.18.0 (`a0e091c`):
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `b703aaa` | The four tariff price fields on the new settings page (fixed, day, night and time windows) take 5 decimals, for example 0.34512 €/kWh, and are saved as typed. A short hint says to divide the c€/kWh on your bill by 100 ([[UX-43]], #194) |
+| `8e02a09` | The dynamic contract choice on the new settings page now says "Dynamic, every 15 minutes" ("Dynamisch, per kwartier") instead of "hourly". The choice works as before, and one line in the docs no longer calls dynamic prices hourly ([[UX-44]], #195) |

+two, unless a line says "Two inverters".
+
+New options, and what they do if you leave them alone:
+
+| option | default | left alone |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pv_forecast_entities`, `pv_forecast_tomorrow_entities` | `[]` | the single forecast sensors work as before ([[OPT-17]]) |
+| `price_service_token` | empty | not used; it is read only with `price_provider: price_service` ([[PRICE-01]]) |
+
+`price_provider` also accepts a new value, `price_service`. Its default is
+unchanged, so the price source stays as it is.
+
+**Price service.** The new price source `price_service` reads prices from the
+add-on's price server, with the token you were given. If it does not answer,
+prices come from energy-charts.info, then from the prices the add-on saved.
+Sites on the Home Assistant price sensors or a fixed tariff need no change. To
+move a site over, see `DOCS.md`, "Moving a site from the Home Assistant price
+sensors to `price_service`".
+
+Contents of this release, in merge order since 0.17.0 (`e36565f`):
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `3050fa5` | The solar forecast can come from several sensors, added up, for example one per inverter. If one of them has no reading, that day's forecast is not used, and the status says which one. The single sensor still works ([[OPT-17]]) |
+| `e3e4ba6` | While Home Assistant is still starting, the page now says "Waiting for Home Assistant" and the log says the add-on waits, instead of looking like a fault. Control itself is unchanged: it starts when Home Assistant answers ([[SAFETY-112]]) |
+| `79dd077` | Battery modes on only: a charge in a cheap run no longer stops at the start of a new 15-minute period, and with two inverters a battery that refused to charge is tried again every 15 min. In one test, the export at the end of a charge was 48 W where the code before this fix gave 746 W ([[OPT-15]]) |
+| `0ce7d35` | Two inverters: each battery card has Start cycle and Stop cycle buttons, so you can start or stop the cycle on the battery you choose. Only one battery can cycle at a time, and a second start is refused with a short message ([[MAINT-11]]) |
+| `bf9019e` | New price source `price_service`. If it fails, prices come from energy-charts.info, then from saved prices. With no price at all and the monthly cycle on, a notice shows and the cycle waits ([[PRICE-01]]) |
+| `004f859` | Two inverters, battery modes on: the 15-minute retry of a battery that refused to charge now asks that battery for 200 W, and no longer puts the rest of the charge on another battery. In the test, without this fix, a battery in its maintenance charge took about 2,300 W for about 34 s at each retry ([[OPT-20]]) |
+
+### Known issues
+
+- A false "Battery is not keeping up" can still show when the peak guard pauses a maintenance charge ([[SAFETY-92]]).
+- A battery capped at a low limit with a perfectly flat reading can still trip the stale check ([[SAFETY-74]]).
+- A battery whose reading at rest is beyond about ±175 W is still not caught when it refuses ([[SAFETY-97]]).
+- The peak guard can still back off near the end of a 15-minute period when a meter reading is late, by less than 30 s ([[SAFETY-99]]).
+- Two inverters: the maintenance charge can switch on and off while the house is above the peak aim ([[SAFETY-88]]).
+- Two inverters: the "circulating" figure counts a battery's reading at rest ([[SAFETY-98]]).
+- Two inverters: a drain that starts during a big step in house use can send the other battery to full power, and about 1 kW goes to the grid for about 10 s ([[SAFETY-104]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery comes back during a maintenance charge, the grid can step by several kW at once ([[SAFETY-101]]).
+- Two inverters: when a battery drops out during a solar surplus, the others can swing by up to 1.5 kW in a simulation ([[SAFETY-105]]).
+- Two inverters: after a drain ends, a change in house use can go unanswered for about 9 s, because some readings are old ([[SAFETY-106]]).
+- Two inverters: when one battery's level is missing, both batteries are held at 0 W, and for about 15 s the last command stays on ([[SAFETY-108]]).
+- Two inverters: if one battery's level stays missing for 12 h, the other battery's cycle can be marked failed, with a 7-day wait and a notice, though it is healthy. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-17]]).
+- When the 15-minute demand forecast sensor counts the battery's own charge, the maintenance charge runs at about half the power the peak limit leaves, so it takes about twice as long. Seen on a site: about 1.2 kW instead of 2.5 kW, and the peak limit was kept ([[SAFETY-111]]).
+- One inverter: after a link drop, the battery's own safety stop to 0 W can be taken as a refusal, and the site stays at 0 W for up to 15 min ([[SAFETY-102]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, control still waits until Home Assistant has finished starting, which can take several minutes, though the readings are already there ([[SAFETY-115]]).
+- While Home Assistant is not answering, the page can list inverters as refusing commands and sensors as missing, and send you to Developer Tools, though they are fine ([[UX-37]]).
+- If Home Assistant hangs or stops, the page keeps saying "Waiting for Home Assistant" and never turns into an alarm ([[SAFETY-113]]).
+- Right after Home Assistant has started, the page can say for about 4 s that an inverter cannot be controlled, and the first command can come late ([[SAFETY-114]]).
+- After a Home Assistant restart, the controller status sensor can still say "running" while the add-on cannot control. It was seen once, and the cause is not known ([[SAFETY-116]]).
+- Battery modes on: after a planned top-up from the grid, the Batteries screen can say "Enough sun is forecast" ([[UX-32]]).
+- Battery modes on: the forecast line "we count on" can show more sun than the plan counts, because the plan takes house use off first ([[UX-33]]).
+- Battery modes on: before a planned top-up, the Today list shows a smaller "gives" amount than the plan will use; it grows as the charge happens ([[UX-34]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while the other battery is in its maintenance charge, a battery's card can say it charges from the grid while it stays at 0 W ([[OPT-18]]).
+- Two inverters, battery modes on: while a battery refuses to charge in a cheap run, the action log on the page gets about 8 lines an hour for its retries, and the page hint says "waiting for a better price" ([[UX-38]]).
+- A battery in a safety stop, or one the add-on cannot reach, can still be started for a cycle, and its drain then waits about 12 h and ends in a failed-cycle notice. This comes from reading the code; it has not been seen on a site ([[MAINT-19]]).
+- On the Settings page, the rows of the solar forecast lists are labelled "Phase 1", "Phase 2" instead of "Sensor 1", "Sensor 2" ([[UX-27]]).
+- In the solar forecast list, a blank or repeated row makes "source 2 of 2" count differently from the rows on the Settings page ([[UX-28]]).
+- The solar forecast message says "has no reading" also when the sensor shows a number that is too old or in the wrong unit ([[UX-29]]).
+- If you use only the forecast lists, two Settings notes sit on the single-sensor field, and one of them tells you to set that field ([[UX-30]]).
+- After a restart during a price outage, the "No prices" message can say "yet" when prices did come in earlier ([[UX-39]]).
+- On the new settings page, you cannot see whether a price service token is set. Check the Configuration tab ([[UX-41]]).
+- On the classic settings page, the first click on Save after editing a field can do nothing. Click again ([[UX-42]]).

+# SAFETY-118 - the peak forecast is read in its own unit
+
+**Status: for review.** Tests: `test_safety118.py`.
+
+`peak_forecast_entity` was read as a bare number, and anything under 50 was
+multiplied by 1000 ("accept kW or W"). A W sensor reading 17 to 45 W, which a
+real site did 430 times in one morning, would be taken as 17 to 45 kW. The
+validator also called a kW sensor wrong, which was false for this entity.
+
+Decision: the size rule is gone. The entity is read through `pv.watts()`, the
+same unit table and reader as the solar entities, so W, kW, MW and the rest
+convert by the sensor's own `unit_of_measurement`. No unit, or a unit that is
+not power (kWh), means the forecast is not used, exactly as if the option were
+empty: the loop cap and every non-forecast peak step still apply. One WARNING
+per cause, and a status row and a settings note say the same.
+
+No size rule can be right in both units: 30 W and 30 kW are both ordinary.
+The read is still one `GET /api/states/<id>` per cycle, as `hass.number()` made.

+"""SAFETY-118: the peak forecast is read in its own unit.  `python3 -B test_safety118.py`
+
+`peak_forecast_entity` used to be read as a bare number and anything under 50
+was multiplied by 1000, so a W sensor reading 17 W was taken as 17 kW. It is
+now read through `pv.watts()` by its own `unit_of_measurement`. No unit, or a
+unit that is not power: the forecast is not used, as if the option were empty.
+
+1. The reader through the real `read_inputs()`: W, kW, MW, no unit, kWh, bad state.
+2. The warning: once, again only when the cause changes, never every cycle.
+3. One state read per cycle, as before.
+4. The maintenance charge headroom and the charge-only clamp act on the
+   converted value (real `cycle()`).
+5. The validator, the status row and the strings.
