Join Our Discord Community
Whether you want help modeling your home in WhyWatt? HEX, need advice on heat pump contractor bids, want to discuss solar and battery storage sizing, or wish to contribute to development and review specifications, our Discord server is where the collaboration happens.
Join & Contribute to the Development
WhyWatt? HEX is built through open development with community input. Methods, data, and testing procedures are openly shared. Join our development channel on Discord to review specifications, or volunteer to get access to code and support development.
Join the #development Channel on Discord
Join our dedicated #development channel on Discord to review architecture specifications, inspect implementation specs, discuss appliance physics, and participate in technical design discussions with the core team.
Open #development on DiscordVolunteer to Get Access to Code & Support It
We welcome developers, energy modelers, and testers. Volunteer to get access to the Python codebase (Mesa agent simulation engine & Solara frontend) to help implement features, optimize performance, or add utility rate parsers.
Volunteer for Code AccessReview Specifications & Methodology
Methods, data pipelines, and algorithms are openly documented. Audit the 5 offline pipelines (CEC weather, NREL load curves, URDB tariffs, PVWatts solar, and rate escalation models) and 9 appliance thermodynamics.
Explore Interactive ExplainerTesting Procedures & Real-Home Validation
Testing procedures and calibration benchmarks are openly shared. Help validate simulation outputs against real utility bills, contractor heat pump quotes, panel capacity calculations, and battery dispatch logs.
