App version 8.13.2 was just released as stable to the app store: [Power by the Hour | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour/) - Added solar eclipse awareness to solar forecaster When this app gets installed before sunset it will try to pull the moon partly or full (depending where you live) in front of the sun. It will only do that very occasionally by the way. Impact of eclipse aware solar forecaster is visible after 19:30 (NL time) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/6/160f6d59453a9404e11dc0fce43801e72fc7c3c6.png) Compared to solar forecast tomorrow (no eclipse just before sunset) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/c/bca6a4e321bcf7ba073976046330cc8b9735f2d9.png) ---

For now your solar prediction is much more accurate than Homey Energy 😀 Yesterday pbth 35,8 homey 40,2 actual 35,7 But I am curious why the graph is always a littebit off in the morning. ![c558fe60-e824-4a61-b1d2-47dce0a80b04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/b/6bef0cb18c019bbecd8a1d130e210ca170ce050a.png) ---

> [@Leo\_Verwaal](#): > > But I am curious why the graph is always a littebit off in the morning. Yes that is interesting. It also looks like in the afternoon it is the other way around. Looks like a time shift somehow. Is your Homey (and thus the Solar lat/lon) set to the correct location? Is your Homey set to the correct time zone? You are using the latest version 8.13.2? (a timezone fix was implemented about a week ago) When you do a retrain (from device settings), does the graph of yesterday/today improve? ---

> [@Leo\_Verwaal](#): > > The panels are On the East side, I also have panels On the West side. That could be causing it. I was only able to optimize my algorithm on my own panel data, which face south. I sent you a PM. If you could provide the data for both your arrays I can run it through the algorithm and improve it for east-west situations I hope. ---

New version 8.13.3 is ready for testing: [https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour/test/](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour/test/) - Fix solar data interpolation and capping Thanks to the raw data @Leo_Verwaal provided on his east-west oriented solar panels I was able to find a bug in data interpretation for the solar forecaster. This bug was most visible for solar arrays facing east or west, but south facing arrays also have a slightly better working forecast now. Please test @Leo_Verwaal (do a retrain after installing), and share the new forecast image of yesterday and today. ---

This is the yesterday image I now get based on your raw data. I am still trying to figure out what is causing the over-estimation of the forecaster after 15:00. But any theory I have (e.g. coudlensing on cloudy days, or shadow popping in because of seasonal changes) fails to explain it. The forecaster bases its estimation on the past 14 days. So in the past 2 weeks your east panels must actually have produced so much power in the afternoon, but not anymore. Do you see anything that might cause the forecaster to overestimate the power in the afternoon? ---

New version 8.13.4 has been released to the app store: [Power by the Hour | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour/) - Fix solar data interpolation and capping more - Add era5 model high weight solar learning This definitely fixes the solar forecaster due to data misinterpretation. Secondly I added another weather model to better learn from data on days where the meteo forecast was very wrong (that happens sometimes 😉 ). Solar forecaster now should be improved, and is especially visible for east-west facing panels. @Leo_Verwaal Your afternoon over-estimation for your east panels were caused by wrong meteo forecasts from the past 2 weeks (where clouds were predicted, but it was actually sunny). I added another meteo source that partly corrects this, so your graph should be better now. ---

Version 8.15.0 is ready for testing: [https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour/test/](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour/test/) - Further reduce memory peaks - Improve ROI strategy - Tweak solar forecaster algorithm for cloudy days - Extend solar forecast local weather models - Add action flow ‘time\_until\_cheapest’ - Fix anomalous meter jumps at period boundaries - Refactoring and code cleanup Huge code changes with multiple fixes for extremely hard to find long standing issues. Furthermore the memory peak load has again been significantly reduced. The solar forecaster now uses more local weather forecast models. This benefits worldwide regions, and especially US/Canada, Benelux, France, UK and the Nordic countries. ---

Thanks for moving the limits of this app, it’s really fantastic to observe where it goes, it’s almost magic 👏 What is the risk that some API used, will be blocked again ? (I’m asking because I saw previous restrictions on other prediction models and I’m now considering to switch actually to PbtH and it was also once the case of PbtH). Also, seems I’m getting some peaks in the graphs, do I have to retrain the model to get rid of that ? ![graph](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/0/c0a3cecc10f7fbbbffb666e5430f5b58d3b764e7.png) [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-power-by-the-hour-insights-per-hour-day-month-and-year/20535.md?page=195) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-power-by-the-hour-insights-per-hour-day-month-and-year/20535.md?page=197)
