Hello, I'm working on creating an RL agent that utilizes the EnergyPlus Python API.
I want to make a decision of the set temperature of the building for every timestep.
I was wondering, which callback function should I be using for my purpose?
Thanks
The Python actuators and EnergyManagerSystem:Actuators share the same underlying code, so you can read on calling points here in the I/O Reference Guide: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/doc...
My initial guess, given the limited info about what you're trying to achieve, is that you probably can start with Begin Timestep Before Predictor (callback_begin_system_timestep_before_predictorin python) if what you're trying to change is the thermostat setpoint schedule. It's described in the EMS Application Guide here: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/doc...
Demand management routines might use this calling point to reduce lighting or process loads, change thermostat settings, etc.

@LeSUTHU does this post or this post answer your question?

I still am unsure, which callback function refers to being called every timestep during the simulation. I am very new to the field, and I apologize if I am asking not so great questions
