On a converged population the boost was permanently on, so there was nothing left for it to intervene in. Its trigger, DIVERSITY_BOOST_THRESHOLD at 0.35, sat above SELECTION_DIVERSITY_FLOOR at 0.30 - the floor the selection itself guarantees - so `diversity < threshold` was true in every generation after convergence. The threshold now sits below the floor. The immigrants the boost injects are by construction the worst individuals in the pool, and `_select_diverse` ran a plain tournament over parents and offspring together, so they were removed in the very generation that created them and their genes never recombined. A bounded share of seats (IMMIGRANT_PROTECTION_FRACTION) is now reserved for them for IMMIGRANT_PROTECTION_GENERATIONS selections. The incumbent is protected by genome key, so no immigrant can evict the best solution or an equal-genome twin, and offspring do not inherit the protection. The log line was edge-triggered on `diversity_boost_active`, which was also cleared on every fitness improvement, so a running boost re-announced itself with "stagnation 0" while a boost that never stopped looked like several short ones. It now tracks the boost alone, and the end of a boost is logged too. Measured on a converged population: without protection 0 of 12 immigrants survive the selection, with it all 12 do, and the incumbent is kept either way.
Build optimized energy management plans for your home automation
AkkudoktorEOS is a comprehensive solution for simulating and optimizing energy systems based on renewable sources. Optimize your photovoltaic systems, battery storage, load management, and electric vehicles while considering real-time electricity pricing.
Why use AkkudoktorEOS?
AkkudoktorEOS can be used to build energy management plans that are optimized for your specific setup of PV system, battery, electric vehicle, household load and electricity pricing. It can be integrated into home automation systems such as NodeRED, Home Assistant, EVCC.
🏘️ Community
We are an open-source community-driven project and we love to hear from you. Here are some ways to get involved:
-
GitHub Issue Tracker: discuss ideas and features, and report bugs.
-
Akkudoktor Forum: get direct suppport from the community.
What do people build with AkkudoktorEOS
The community uses AkkudoktorEOS to minimize grid energy consumption and to maximize the revenue from grid energy feed in with their home automation system.
- Andreas Schmitz, the Akkudoktor, uses EOS integrated in his NodeRED home automation system for OpenSource Energieoptimierung.
- Jörg, meintechblog, uses EOS for day-ahead optimization for time-variable energy prices. See: So installiere ich EOS von Andreas Schmitz
Why not use AkkudoktorEOS?
AkkudoktorEOS does not control your home automation assets. It must be integrated into a home automation system. If you do not use a home automation system or you feel uncomfortable with the configuration effort needed for the integration you should better use other solutions.

Configuration
EOS uses EOS.config.json for configuration. If the file doesn't exist, a default configuration is
created automatically.
Custom Configuration Directory
export EOS_DIR=/path/to/your/config
Configuration Methods
- EOSdash (Recommended) - Web interface at
http://localhost:8504 - Manual - Edit
EOS.config.jsondirectly - API - Use the Server API
See the documentation for all configuration options.
Port Configuration
Default ports: 8503 (API), 8504 (Dashboard)
If running on shared systems (e.g., Synology NAS), these ports may conflict with system services. Reconfigure port mappings as needed:
docker run -p 8505:8503 -p 8506:8504 ...
