New load-shedding outage checker..

Loadshedding can be automated using node-red and a compatible ESS system such as Victron venus os.
Here I am working on setting ESS to 75% battery charge as soon as loadshedding is detected. Usually it is at 35%.The Eskom web address is https://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/LoadShedding/GetStatus ESS controll doesn't connect reliably so it might be better to use Dbus access in a function node. Still working on that.

⭕Schedules sponsored by: www.smsworx.co.za
I've got a little app that I use for generating schedules for our local whatsapp/Facebook groups as we have lots of folks that still don't know how to read the monthly schedules..

Above is generated based on the stages announced for JHB.

'd' is for doom.

Can you say which schedule? I can prioritize, then.

I'll start on City of Cape Town, in the meantime.

I'm biased like that ;-)
Then do jhb... you can ignore the rest, they don't count and are in general just an embarrassment to us as a country ;)
 
Jhb schedule will be done next.

There is currently a problem with jhb schedule highlighting due to the Cpt schedule upgrade, so please use only stage 1 - 4 (in manual mode if necessary) until further notice.
