A planned battery export kept moving 15 minutes later with every run. At 07:49 the plan exported at 08:00 and 08:15; the run at 08:00 exported at 08:15 and 08:30, although nothing in the forecasts had changed. Genomes are run-relative: gene 0 controls the slot the run starts in. Clients such as Node-RED send the previous `start_solution` back unchanged, so after a slot boundary every decision in it is read one slot too late. The warm start is seeded as exact copies and local neighbours, and when an export 15 minutes later scores almost the same, the shifted genome survives and becomes the next warm start. The internal energy management run reused its last solution the same way. Solutions now carry `start_solution_datetime`, the start of the slot gene 0 controls, and requests accept it back. Before seeding, the battery and EV blocks drop the elapsed slots and repeat their last gene. A warm start that starts after the run, or whose control slots have all elapsed, is ignored. When a request omits the datetime but its `start_solution` equals the last solution of this server, that solution's start is used, so existing clients are fixed without changes. Appliance genes index per-run start slot lists that cannot be rebuilt for the earlier run and stay as they are, validated as before.
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 ...
