QA HDO

⚡📉 QA HDO

QA HDO is a key application for efficient energy management depending on distributor tariffs. It serves as a central point for receiving, processing and distributing HDO (Remote Load Control) signals in a smart home.
Not only does it display the current status, but it offers detailed visualization of switching history in a clear matrix and creates important statistics for other modules of the SHE (Smart Home & Energy) system.

💼 Business Presentation

The fundamental building block for economical house operation. If you use a two-tier electricity rate, this application will ensure that your system always knows exactly when energy is cheap.
It provides essential data for automatic activation of energy-intensive appliances and refines energy cost calculations.

📊 Analysis and Data Management

For clear visualization, working with measurement history and graphs, we recommend connecting to SCADA Mervis.

⚠️ Note

The application requires input information on HDO status. It supports classic wired connection (digital input, EX01PV module), but also wireless solution using FIBARO Smart Implant (Z-Wave). All sources can be easily mapped to High/Low tariff states in the configuration.

⚙️ Key Features

✅ Intelligent tariff management and visualization

• Detailed visualization: Clear table showing the history of tariff switching (High/Low) by hours and days.
• Flexible input definition (Digital input, EX01PV Module, Global variable)
• Z-Wave Support: Ability to wirelessly read HDO using FIBARO Smart Implant (ideal for renovations).
• Instant overview of current tariff
• Creation of statistics for the SHE ecosystem
• Advanced integration with QA Spot Pro: Tariff prediction is incorporated into the final purchase price calculation, which refines appliance and inverter control.

✨ Typical Uses

• Blocking demanding appliances during high tariff
• Heating the boiler or accumulation tank only during low tariff periods
• Verification of actual HDO switching times in a weekly overview
• Reading HDO signal from the electrical panel without the need for new wiring (using FIBARO Smart Implant)
• Accurate calculation of house operating costs through price differentiation over time

🔌 Operating Conditions

• HDO signal source in the Fibaro system (binarySensor from digital input module, e.g. wireless FIBARO Smart Implant , EX01PV module or other)
• For full use of predictions and price calculations QA Spot Pro application

🧰 Configuration and Setup

• Intuitive assignment of signal source (e.g. specific DI input, Z-Wave device or module)
• Clear definition of logic: Easy mapping of True/False values to Low/High tariff states.
• Option to deactivate unused tariff types (e.g. night or peak) for clarity.
• Connecting outputs to other logic blocks or appliances.
