Pepco MD TOU-P has different on-peak windows by season: summer (Jun-Sep) 14:00-19:00, winter (Oct-May) 06:00-09:00 and 17:00-21:00. Heat is gas, so winter electric peak logic is cooling-only. * pre-cool: bounded to summer (Jun-Sep); winter has no pre-cool. * peak-setback (hold) and peak-ends (return): unified across seasons via a season self-select (month -> season; triggers carry id: summer/winter and act only when trigger.id == season) plus a params map for setpoints. Summer forces cool + 82 / returns 74 daily; winter sets 82 / returns 74 ONLY when already in cool mode, so it never disturbs the gas furnace. * new ac_winter_morning_kill: 06:00 winter work days, if in cool mode set hvac_mode off to dodge the 6-9am winter peak. No auto-resume yet (planned). Decision logic verified as a truth table via the template engine across summer/winter x cooling x workday before commit. Deployed in place (existing ids unchanged); new id ac_winter_morning_kill added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# ac_winter_morning_kill — stop the AC at the winter morning on-peak start
|
|
#
|
|
# id / entity : ac_winter_morning_kill -> automation.ac_winter_morning_kill
|
|
# trigger : 06:00 local (America/New_York)
|
|
# purpose : Winter has a 6-9 AM on-peak. If the AC is running at 6am, stop
|
|
# it. (Rare — only the mild May/October days when AC runs.)
|
|
#
|
|
# Cooling-only and gas-heat-safe: only acts when the thermostat is in `cool`
|
|
# mode, so it never turns off the gas furnace. Turns the unit fully OFF (per the
|
|
# chosen "stop" behavior). There is intentionally NO auto-resume yet — a resume
|
|
# automation can be added later.
|
|
#
|
|
# Fallback: workday sensor unavailable -> Mon-Fri (weekends/holidays are
|
|
# off-peak, so no kill then).
|
|
#
|
|
# v3 (2026-07-09): new.

v3 (2026-07-09). At 6am on winter (Oct-May) work days, turns the thermostat
|
|
OFF if it is currently cooling, to avoid the 6-9am winter on-peak. Cooling-only
|
|
(never touches gas heat). No auto-resume yet. Managed in git; see
