Filling in rooftop data with forecasts

[nc9]

atm since NEM dispatch is 5 minute intervals while rooftop is 30m intervals, there are anywhere from 0-5 intervals gaps on the FE for rooftop solar

We've spoken previously about shading this in with the forecast data up to the current interval - we should probably do this and mark it with a thatched pattern, or similar.

we send the forecast solar data to the front end (at least for the NEM), right?

[nc9]

yep it's all in the same response payload - goes forward 3 days

btw @chienleng what do you think about closing down issues etc. on here and centralizing all tasks/issues at opennem/opennem?

I'm using the new project boards and they're pretty good - we can combine + use assignments

[simonhac]

my understanding is that the frontend uses forecast data if “actual” data (which is really estimated data, not actual) is not available.

is your suggestion that the forecast should be crosshatched? sounds reasonable.

I thought it did too - trying to work out where/how it stopped working. The server on the old infra did cut-off unless it had "complete" data, but now the data is live to within < 1min which is why we might not have noticed it

Figure if we fix it might as well make the forecast part stand out as distinct

Sounds good to me 👍 I might move the FE trello tasks here to issues too.
