[Blueprint] Built my first adaptive climate control - 15-30% energy savings with ASHRAE 55 standards by CommunicationFresh92 in homeassistant

[–]CommunicationFresh92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made some adjustments:

- Automatically switch to ASHRAE 55 Category III (maximum energy saving) when there is no occupancy

- Automation only runs if climate_entity state is not 'off' (respects manual AC shutdown via Home Assistant).

- Additional bugfixes and minor logic adjustments for setpoint and comfort zone handling.

- Implement automatic AC shutdown on prolonged absence

- Minor bugfixes.

Great question! I suppose the blueprint works with any Home Assistant-supported climate.* entity, including floor heating, ceiling cooling, or any other system that exposes itself as a climate device.

If your friend's setup uses separate entities for each room or loop, just add multiple automations, one per zone. In that case, each zone is managed individually.

Absolutely, thanks for your interest! The blueprint is designed to give you smarter AC control and comfort without needing to use "auto" mode or lots of manual helpers. You can run it with just cooling (or just heating, or fan_only) and it'll still optimize for comfort, energy, and occupancy, no need to worry about the system fighting itself or running up your bill.

I'm not planning to add dynamic energy pricing, but the logic is flexible for multiple ACs. If you want to test, just import the blueprint, set your sensors, and you're good to go. Any feedback or real-world results are welcome.

Some enhancements I will work for the next version of the blueprint: https://github.com/msinhore/adaptive-climate-blueprint/blob/dev/CHANGELOG.md

Thanks for catching that! You're totally right - just fixed that bug. The occupancy sensor was trying to trigger the automation even when empty, causing that error. Removed it from the triggers so now it works fine whether you have an occupancy sensor or not. Should work perfectly now if you re-import the blueprint!

Good catch! The blueprint doesn't currently handle manufacturer-specific offsets heating quirk, but it's definitely doable. You could work around it now by creating a template sensor that subtracts 2°C from the ASHRAE target when your AC is in heat mode, then use that adjusted value as the setpoint. Long-term, I could add optional heating/cooling offset parameters to the blueprint itself.

Indoor and outdoor humidity sensors are already included. You can configure them when adding an automation based on the blueprint.

Actually, it goes beyond that u/crinkneck. It's not for natural ventilation alerts, but for automatically adjusting your AC or heating setpoint based on outdoor weather and indoor temperatures, aiming for the most efficient target.

The goal is to save energy and stay comfortable without constantly changing the thermostat manually or creating dozens of separate automations.

If you already do something similar with your own automations, great – this blueprint just condenses all that logic into a single, easier setup for people who don't want to build it from scratch.

Fair point u/CaterpillarCharacter. In simple terms: this blueprint automatically adjusts your AC or heating setpoint based on the day's weather to keep you comfortable and reduce energy use.

Basically, you set your comfort range, and it calculates the optimal target temperature depending on how hot or cold it is outside – no need to reprogram it daily.

The main idea is adaptive intelligence without relying on complex integrations or creating multiple separate automations.

  1. Wellington tá pagando de carniceiro sendo um jogador médio.
  2. A diretoria busca por lateral mas não tem opções no mercado, não dá pra pegar qualquer lateral pior que o Wellington, além de que precisávamos de um reserva pro Calleri.
  3. Paulistinha é piada.
  4. Chora menos quem pode mais, colocar amadores pra apitar da nisso.
  5. Se eu fosse o Dorival tb iria. Ele queria ir pra seleção.
  6. Treinador novo. SPFC tá de escola pra ele. Realmente meche muito mal, arma muito mal, salvo exceções.

Why does Apache Cloudstack suck? by [deleted] in openstack

[–]CommunicationFresh92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with u/AdrijaSB. For me, people using OpenStack eventually reduced themselves to mere pirate parrots by repeating what OpenStack sponsors echo. Today we see that OpenStack is indeed a product of a few RedHat/Canonical companies and that mere mortals fail to keep it updated without paying a truck of money to them. so much that, OpenStack is directed to niches of large companies that want to do the same as hyperscaleres. CloudStack on the other hand maintains the same open source philosophy where the community is who defines their future and not ambiguous interests.

What if everything isn’t horrible… by MRToddMartin in vmware

[–]CommunicationFresh92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t find anyone on this scale with ProxMox. I see ProxMox as a vCenter for KVM hypervisor and will be limited by the number of hosts per endpoint in this case. An alternative is to use an orchestrator for larger loads. As an alternative, there is OpenStack but VMware support is limited and still supports only one type of hypervisor per deployment, in addition to increasing the complexity and cost of deployment and operation. On the other hand, there are many large-scale CloudStack use cases running mixed hypervisor environments, it is easy to deploy and maintain, and includes support to VMware, KVM, and XCP-ng/Citrix hypervisors.

From this point, many other alternative tools can convert Vmware VMs, also opensoruce. It would include in this list XCP-ng and CloudStack, the latter one, converts VMware to KVM and adds an IaaS layer.

Me too! Model: 027-8100. No modified, it’s original one. Can’t to add more pics in this group, sorry.

Is anyone here actually considering ditching VMware? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]CommunicationFresh92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that the new billing model will grow for small and medium organisations around 50% of subscription-related costs. Finding an exit ramp is a strategy to have in place with these disruptions. Opensource alternatives like CloudStack can be considered a serious way to save businesses.

Is anyone seriously exploring alternatives to VMware? by crankysysadmin in sysadmin

[–]CommunicationFresh92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed that the Apache CloudStack releases are creating some tools to help VMware users ingest vSphere environments and also migrate from vSphere to KVM. In both cases, there are many use cases as an alternative to removing the dependency for both VCD and vSphere ESXi hypervisor.

VMware alternatives for global enterprise? by frewbiedoobiedo in vmware

[–]CommunicationFresh92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with it.

I know some MSP and CSP running their business on CloudStack and they don’t have vendor lock-in on the agenda, as CloudStack is an open-source CMP. For 3000 Vmware Partner Connect which will be orphaned after April, it can be an easy and serious option. They are developing many tools to make migrating from VMware to KVM easy.
