"No schedule" with heat capacitor strategy #119

Open kalaws opened 1 year ago

kalaws commented 1 year ago

Hello,

First of all, thank you for the excellent work. I'm planning to deploy the heat capacitory strategy. It seems to work as it should, and I can see trades made as well as use adjustments to setpoint, but I can't get this strategy to produce a schedule that I can visualize (unlike Best save or Lowest price strategies). Doesn't seem to matter whether I change Heat and Cool times to 30 mins or 240 mins. Is this strategy not supposed to put out a schedule?

The heat capacitor does not have the same features as the other nodes.

Ah, ok. Would it be possible to add timestamp for each object, ie differing by 1 minute, just like is done for hours in Best save strategy? I suppose this could be achieved by some ad hoc js forEach function, but I’m not skilled enough to implement that. :) once timestamps are attached to each object, the data can be visualized.

We now have a schedule output in the pipeline :-)

Just have to find the time to document it.
