# OpenADR-2B-PyServer
OpenADR-2B-PyServer is a free, open-source, and secure implementation of an OpenADR 2.0B server written in Python. Utilizing the OpenLEADR library, this project aims to provide a robust and reliable platform for Automated Demand Response (ADR) solutions. (PROJECT UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT)

## Security
Security is a top priority for OpenADR-2B-PyServer. The server uses HTTPS for encrypted communication and JWT for the web app GUI. VENs follow the OpenADR protocol and authenticate by device name per OPENLEADR.

## Acknowledgments
This project uses the [OpenLEADR](https://openleadr.org/) library for OpenADR 2.0B communication

Key Features
* **OpenADR 2.0B Specification Compliance**: Adheres to the OpenADR 2.0B standard via OPENLEADR, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of VEN (Virtual End Node) devices.
* **Secure Communication**: Implements HTTPS for secure communication between the VTN (Virtual Top Node) server, ADR app user, and VEN devices.
* **MIT Licensed**: Distributed under the MIT license, allowing for free use, modification, and distribution.
* **Scalability**: Designed to handle multiple VEN connections efficiently, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale ADR deployments.
* **Easy to Use**: Provides a straightforward setup process and comprehensive documentation to get you started quickly.

## Web App GUI
At the moment the web app supports OpenADR 2.0b `SIMPLE`, `ELECTRICITY_PRICE`, and `LOAD_DISPATCH` from web app GUI with drop down menu items.
Per OpenADR spec `SIMPLE` signal can either be a `0,1,2 or 3`, `ELECTRICITY_PRICE` is a selectable kWh/Hr, and `LOAD_DISPATCH` at the moment is a selectable kW power setpoint for the building to maintain. All signals have a `duration` in minutes `start time` menu selection in UTC time zone to configure the ADR event. Also as demonstrated below are pop up alerts the web app supports for misconfigurations of VEN or ADR events.

## Ven Status
The VEN status shows all configured VENs on the VTN server and will display the last report value, engineering units, and time stamp of last check-in to the VTN server. The connection quality metric measures how consistently a VEN (Virtual End Node) checks in with the VTN (Virtual Top Node) and is calculated as a percentage reflecting the reliability of the VEN’s communication. This metric is based on the intervals between successive reports sent by the VEN. Each check-in timestamp is recorded in a deque that stores the last N check-in times. The intervals between these check-ins are calculated, and if they are within an expected threshold (e.g., 10 seconds, with a maximum acceptable interval of 20 seconds), they are considered valid. The connection quality is then computed as the ratio of valid intervals to the total number of intervals, expressed as a percentage.
```bash
Connection Quality = ( Number of Valid Intervals / Total Number of Intervals ) × 100
```

## Project goals
These are some basic goals to make this into an interactive Pen test lab for demand response.
- [x] create basic Python Virtual Top Node (VTN) app
- [x] create basic React based interface for the GUI
- [x] test VTN and React interface with a `localhost` OpenADR multipe client VEN sim
- [x] make a communications diagram for project
- [x] add to GUI features for VEN client off/online status and last meter reading value
- [x] add to GUI feature create a single event for multiple VENs
- [ ] make a login page for the VTN server
- [ ] add Docker container support
- [ ] deploy on the internet and test remote OpenAdr client
- [ ] deploy on open sourced bug bounty program for research purposes on making ADR servers most secure as possible
