Changelog

Here you can find the latest changes in Optimaatti: new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Device planner: home automation, save & PDF print

  • Home automation planning: the planner now covers lighting, sensors (motion, door/window, temperature, buttons) and scenes — not just heating loads.
  • Expanded Shelly catalog: 26 products. Plus 1PM/2PM and Mini family for lighting, Plus i4 for button circuits, Plus Plug S for outlet metering, BLU Motion / Door-Window / Button1 / H&T / TRV sensors, Wall Display 4" touch panel, Pro Dimmer 0/1-10V for dimming.
  • Save your plans: name them, add notes, come back later or share with an electrician. List view and one-click reopen back to the result view.
  • Print / Save as PDF: every saved plan can be printed as a clean A4 document — your browser's "Save as PDF" works directly.
  • Per-device metering by default: every controlled load gets its own measurement so savings are shown per device in euros. The validator now also auto-injects a BLU Gateway when sensors lack one.
  • Quick shortcut in the AppBar and on the Dashboard — the planner is one click away from any view.

Active Automations, mobile improvements and design system

  • Active Automations page: every rule that is currently running, on one screen, filterable by device and rule type. Easy to see what is actually controlling your device right now.
  • Mobile improvements: wider content areas (md breakpoint), DataTable folds into card view on small screens, the back button never gets clipped on tablets.
  • Design system: unified radius and typography scales, refreshed focus token for keyboard rings, buttons and transitions polished to feel softer.
  • Savings views aligned: KPI numbers match across tabs, breadcrumb back to the main savings page.
  • Fixes: charts no longer crash in the production bundle, the dashboard sidebar is always reachable, an expired session no longer triggers a redirect loop.

Profile levels (Easy / Managed / Expert) and a unified rule editor

  • Profile level is now a user choice: Easy (minimal view), Managed (full toolkit), Expert (all knobs). The app hides advanced features at lower levels so the UI stays clean.
  • Easy mode everywhere: bigger buttons, glossary popups ("what does MPC mean?"), a help button on every screen, two-step confirmation for destructive actions.
  • SmartPriceRule — one unified rule editor: a single view that replaces the older PriceRule + PriceRuleV2 forms. A banner walks old rules through the migration.
  • OneClickRuleCreator: ready-made cards for typical goals ("Save on heating", "Charge the car cheaply") created with one click.
  • Upgrade hints for beginners: when a user reaches a feature that needs a higher level, a single button raises the level and returns them instantly — no menu hunt.

New: Home Shelly device planner (beta)

  • AI-assisted planning: answer 3–5 questions about your home (housing type, large loads, free DIN slots in your panel) and get a ready-made Shelly Pro device proposal.
  • Always includes whole-house metering (Pro 3EM-50 or Pro EM-50) — so you see verified savings in euros, not just estimates.
  • For heating loads only Shelly Pro series is recommended, by rule: water heater, sauna, car heater and underfloor heating are switched safely through a contactor when needed.
  • Output: priced shopping list, installation order, and a clear split between "electrician tasks" and "DIY tasks".
  • Available in onboarding as a light 3-question starter pack, and in the beginner profile as the full wizard with ready-made house presets.

Supported Devices: Shelly, Tuya, Philips Hue, Zigbee and Matter

  • New "Supported Devices" section: comprehensive overview of all supported ecosystems and device models.
  • Shelly devices: detailed pages for 15 models with use cases (Plus 1/1PM/2PM, Pro 1/2PM/4PM, Plug S, EM, 3EM, Dimmer, H&T, BLU series).
  • Tuya / Smart Life: category-level support (smart plugs, lights, covers, sensors). Compatible brands: eMax, Nous, Woox, Moes, Airam, LSC and dozens more.
  • Philips Hue (beta): local Bridge connection for controlling lights and plugs without cloud services.
  • Zigbee (beta): gateway-based support, tested and working.
  • Matter (in testing): next-generation smart home standard support in development.
  • Use-case driven device selection: devices grouped by purpose (heating, lighting, hot water, heat pump, appliances, EV charging).

New MPC guides: excitation and comfort schedule constraints

  • Added a new excitation (identification test) guide: what it means, when to use it, and how to run it step by step.
  • Added a new comfort schedule constraints guide: how to define different min/max comfort limits for different times and day types.
  • Added links on the MPC help page so the new guides are easy to find.
  • Added an EV charger help page (beta): the charging station feature is in testing and may change based on feedback.

Optimization: more robust behavior with tight comfort limits

  • Predictive control (MPC) can automatically retry when comfort limits are too tight and a plan cannot otherwise be produced.
  • Optional temporary relaxation can be applied to comfort bounds so you still get a usable plan instead of an empty result.
  • Improved handling of small schedule gaps so planning does not fail on minor missing data.

Zigbee: smoother setup

  • Improved Zigbee setup docs and configuration flow to make gateway startup and configuration more straightforward.

Spot electricity prices added to the marketing site

  • Added spot price data to marketing site content and examples.

Optimization: comfort zones by time period

  • MPC comfort zones can be configured by weekday and time periods (e.g. night/day/weekend) to balance comfort and savings for different situations.

New help pages: Away mode and stopping automation

  • Added new help pages for Away mode and stopping automation.
  • Added new help pages for cost analysis and pricing/VAT settings.
  • Added a new help page for notifications and notification settings.
  • Added a help page for Device state history (timeline, price zones, and MPC view on the timeline).
  • Updated internal linking in the help center: new topics show up in categories and are linked from related articles.
  • Updated sitemap to include the new help URLs.

Homepage copy clarified

  • Clarified the main message and reduced technical terminology on the homepage.
  • Improved hero typography and layout (readability, line length, spacing).
  • Clarified that the service currently works only with Shelly devices.
  • Added dark theme to the marketing site (theme toggle in the top navigation).

New guided rule setup, rooms and solar control

  • Added guided rule setup for price rules, schedule rules and temperature rules — easier onboarding without learning every field at once.
  • Improved AI assistants: clearer explanations and suggestions for price/temperature/schedule rules and MPC settings.
  • Finalized rooms, light groups and sensor flow: create room-based light groups and connect motion and ambient light sensors to groups.
  • Added solar control profiles for water heater: power limits (W), time windows and safety limits help use cheap hours and avoid main fuse overload.
  • Updated marketing site docs and features pages to reflect new functionality (guided rule setup, rooms & lighting, solar control).

Demo devices make it easier to try

  • Added the ability to create virtual Shelly demo devices to try Optimaatti without controlling real devices.
  • Demo devices use the same prices, rules and MPC calculations as real devices — you can add rules and track impact like in production.
  • Demo devices appear in the normal device list and can be reset with one button if you want a clean start.

New roles: Owner, Family member, Viewer

  • Added household roles: Owner (full control), Family member (daily control) and Viewer (read-only).
  • Editing devices, rules and schedules is now restricted by role — family members can use the system without accidentally breaking settings.
  • Detailed device views and stats remain visible for Viewer role, but control buttons are disabled.

Improved MQTT user creation and security

  • New MQTT users work immediately after creation without manual password reset.
  • User registration password now also works as the MQTT password (same credentials for both).

Marketing site content updates

  • Added a pricing page and clarified benefit-focused content.
  • Improved help section structure and linking (getting started, devices, FAQ).

AI assistants for rules and MPC

  • Added AI assistants for price rules, temperature rules, schedule rules and MPC configuration (comfort zones and thermal model).
  • Device lists now filter sensors and show only controllable devices or relevant sensors depending on context.
  • Improved tab styling so assistants and rule editor states are easier to distinguish.
