Another alternative is to reduce the minimum saving from 0.05 to 0.001.

You can get the schedule sent to output 3 any time by sending a message like this to the node:
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
```json
|
|
64
|
+
"payload": {
|
|
65
|
+
"commands": {
|
|
66

+
"sendSchedule": true,

|
+
}
|
|
69
|
+
```
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
When you do this, the current schedule is actually recalculated based on the last received data, and then sent to output 3 the same way as when it was originally planned.

#### reset

You can reset data the node has saved in context by sending this message:
|
|
76

+
|
|
77
|
+
```json
|
|
78

+
}
|
|
83
|
+
```
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
When you do this, all historical data the node has saved is deleted, including the current schedule, so the result will be
|
|
86
|
+
that the node shows status "No price data". When new price data is received, a schedule is calculated without considering any history.
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
The nodes config is not deleted, as the node depends on it to work.

However, it is normally not a big loss, as you can just feed the node with new price data and start from scratch.

the node is using the schedule for the day before it receives data for,

The `schedule` array shows every time the switch is turned on or off. The `hours` array shows values per hour containing the price (received as input), whether that hour is on or off, the start time of the hour and the amount per kWh that is saved on hours that are turned off, compared to the next hour that is on.

### Data saved in context
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
The node saves some data in the nodes context, so that it can be used on restarts and also taken into consideration when calculating the schedule over midnight.
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|
+
You can see the saved data if you select the node in Node-RED, and view "Context data", and refresh the Node context.

I say "in most cases", because there is a chance that a group of two or more sequences combined can give a better plan than a single sequence preceeding those two, but where the selection of the one sequence causes the group to be discarded. If anyone encounters this situation, I would be happy to receive the price data set, and try to improve the algorithm even further.

## Data used for calculation
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
Normally data is received for one or two whole days, and all this data is used to do the calculation. In addition, if the node has run before, so there is historical data, the last period on or off before the period data is received for, is considered in the calculation, so that the rules in the configuration are followed also between days.

|
+
|

193
|

## Restarts
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
The node saves data in the nodes context, so if Node-RED is configured to save context between restarts, the node will replan with the last received data when it restarts.

|
197

::: warning

In Home Assistant, Node-RED is by default configured to save context between restarts. However, if you run Node-RED another way, this may not be the case by default. If context is only stored in memory, it is lost between restarts, and even between re-deployments. This can be changed in the `settings.js` file for Node-RED like this:
|
|
199
|
+
|
|
200
|
+
```js
|
|
201
|
+
contextStorage: {
|
|
202
|
+
default: {
|
|
203
|
+
module: "localfilesystem"
|
|
204
|
+
}
|
|
205
|
+
}
|
|
206
|
+
```
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
Please read the [Node-RED documentation](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context) for more details about this.
