PROFILE

Tom

Tom Biesterbos contributed to the evcc-io/evcc repository by building and enhancing integrations for Daikin Home Hub and Dutch CO2 data sources, focusing on energy management and emissions forecasting. He implemented Modbus TCP/IP and API integrations, developed configuration templates in YAML, and used jq for data transformation. His work enabled unified control and monitoring of Daikin devices, improved CO2 data granularity from hourly to 15-minute intervals, and resolved timezone and tariff data handling bugs. Tom’s engineering demonstrated depth in configuration management, embedded systems, and data processing, resulting in more reliable, accurate, and maintainable workflows for smart-grid and energy optimization scenarios.

October 2025: Delivered two CO2-focused improvements in evcc that enhance data fidelity and reliability for emissions analytics and forecasting. The CO2 data granularity was increased from hourly to 15 minutes by adjusting the ned.nl API granularity parameter, enabling finer-grained analysis and smarter energy optimization. A timezone parsing bug in the CO2 forecast was fixed by updating the ned.yaml template to use validfrom/validto fields directly, reducing potential timezone errors. These changes improve data accuracy, trust, and maintainability while delivering measurable business value through more precise CO2 metrics. Technologies demonstrated include API integration, YAML/jq-based templating, and careful data handling for time-based data.
