An open-source initiative
Small enough to test.
Open enough to improve.
OpenREC starts with one home in Portugal: forecast solar surplus, coordinate flexible loads, and measure the effect. The code and the limitations are open for review.
How the prototype connects
01 / INPUTS
Forecast & prices
Solar forecasts, OMIE prices and household energy readings.
02 / COORDINATION
OpenREC + OpenADR
Build surplus-window events and publish them to a VTN.
03 / AT HOME
Home Assistant
The bridge signals permission. Your local automations decide device behaviour.
Architecture and capability status follow the project README (opens in a new tab). Deployment prerequisites and protocol versions need review before use.
Implemented in the prototype
What you can inspect today.
- Forecast and price ingestion
- Quarter-hour event publication
- Home Assistant VEN bridge and permission lease
- Paired steer/control planning and reporting
Hardware behaviour and interaction with an existing thermostat still require a live audit. This prototype has no demonstrated community-wide savings claim.
Planned work
What still needs building.
- E-Redes data import
- Monthly member statements
- Sharing-coefficient calculation and export
- Onboarding and documentation support
- Multi-community operation
Governance, registration and settlement need their own arrangements. OpenADR supplies a communication protocol.

About this resource
Useful knowledge needs a clear source.
Evidence & maintenance
The directories are a curated launch collection informed by the supplied Portugal report and primary-source checks. Each record has a check date and primary-source links. Unknown source dates remain unknown. Organiser and provider statements are labelled; independent performance verification is not implied.
Legal and funding information should be reviewed before a project decision. This site does not automatically monitor changes. Corrections can be proposed publicly through GitHub.
Privacy & reuse
No accounts, analytics or personal-data forms. The checklist stores only completed step IDs in your browser. You can reset it at any time. Hosting providers may process normal request logs.
Directory summaries are original, source-linked descriptions. Existing EU databases are linked rather than copied. Downloadable JSON preserves evidence notes and unknown values.
