Le miroir GitHub n'est pas encore synchronisé : les liens pointent sur git.etm-powersync.fr. INTERFACE.md n'est plus dans le dépôt public : la forme des méthodes NymeaEnergy.* se lit sur la box (JSONRPC.Introspect) ; GetOptimizerStatus n'est pas réservée à l'administrateur. Orthographe anglaise unifiée : optimizer, optimization. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ry3vBrJT1tHdxAaXdCWi6L

|
|
|
## Does ETM PowerSync send my data to the cloud?
|
|
|
|
No. Control runs locally, on the box, and keeps working without internet. The only
|
|
component that connects to the internet on its own is the OpenMeteo weather plugin: it
|
|
sends only the site's coordinates (rounded to about 1 km from plugin version `1.15.2+etm2`; version `etm1` in the testing channel sends them unrounded), its altitude and the
|
|
orientation of the panels. Measurements, consumption and the tariff stay with you.
|
|
Remote access is disabled by default; it opens only if you enable it yourself in the
|
|
app. That is an architectural decision, not an option.
|
|
|
|
## Is the project open source?
|
|
|
|
The energy engine (`etm-powersync-energy-plugin-etm`) and the plugins are under
|
|
GPL-3.0, including the optimizer client built into the engine — everything linked against
|
|
nymea is. The engine works on its own, without an optimizer. The
|
|
[protocol between the engine and an optimizer](optimiseur/index.md) is open and
|
|
published, with a free reference optimizer and a conformance suite: anyone can write their
|
|
own. The **ETM optimizer** and its business logic (tariff arbitration, forecasts learned
|
|
from your installation), however, are proprietary: they run in a separate process, reached
|
|
through that protocol, at your place — on the box or on a machine in your local network.
|
|
That process boundary is the heart of the Open Core model — the engine stays free, the
|
|
business logic stays proprietary.
|
|
|
|
## What is the difference between Community and Pro?
|
|
|
|
Two editions, not three — the prediction layer has not been sold separately since
|
|
2026-10-14; it is part of Pro.
|
|
|
|
- **Community** — the GPL-3.0 foundation, self-hostable: deterministic rule-based
|
|
control, solar surplus, load shedding, [PV production forecast](fonctionnalites/prevision-pv.md)
|
|
from physical models (beta, displayed, not used to decide), REST/MQTT API. No
|
|
subscription.
|
|
- **Pro** — installed by ETM-Schurig: adds tariff arbitration and the prediction layer
|
|
(production and consumption forecasts learned from your installation, heat-pump
|
|
thermal inertia). **No
|
|
subscription either**, and everything stays local.
|
|
|
|
Tariff arbitration and prediction are on the **roadmap**: the Open Core boundary already
|
|
exists, the functions it separates are not all shipped. See
