 L'auto-régulation consiste à forcer l'équipement a aller plus loin en lui forçant sa température de consigne régulièrement. Sa consommation peut donc être augmentée, ainsi que son usure.
 
+#### L'auto-régulation en mode Expert
+
+En mode **Expert** pouvez régler finement les paramètres de l'auto-régulation pour atteindre vos objeetifs et optimiser au mieux. L'algorithme calcule l'écart entre la consigne et la température réelle de la pièce. Cet écard est appelé erreur.
+Les paramètres réglables sont les suivants :
+1. `kp` : le facteur appliqué à l'erreur brute,
+2. `ki` : le facteur appliqué à l'accumulation des erreurs,
+3. `k_ext` : le facteur appliqué à la différence entre la température intérieure et la température externe,
+4. `offset_max` : le maximum de correction (offset) que la régulation peut appliquer,
+5. `stabilization_threshold` : un seuil de stabilisation qui lorsqu'il est atteint par l'erreur remet à 0, l'accumulation des erreurs,
+6. `accumulated_error_threshold` : le maximum pour l'accumulation d'erreur.
+
+Pour le tuning il faut tenir compte de ces observations :
+1. `kp * erreur` va donner l'offset lié à l'erreur brute. Cet offset est directement proportionnel à l'erreur et sera à 0 lorsque la target sera atteinte,
+2. l'accumulation de l'erreur permet de corriger le stabilisation de la courbe alors qu'il reste une erreur. L'erreur s'accumule et l'offset augmente donc progressivement ce qui devrait finir par stabiliser sur la température cible. Pour que ce paramètre fondamental est un effet il faut qu'il soit pas trop petit. Une valeur moyenne est 30
+3. `ki * accumulated_error_threshold` va donner l'offset maximal lié à l'accumulation de l'erreur,
+4. `k_ext` permet d'appliquer tout de suite (sans attendre une accumulation des erreurs) une correction lorsque la température extérieure est très différente de la température cible. Si la stabilisation se fait trop haut lorsqu'il les écarts de température sont importants, c'est que ce paramètre est trop fort. Il devrait pouvoir être annulé totalement pour laisser faire les 2 premiers offset
+
+Les valeurs préprogrammées sont les suivantes :
+
+Slow régulation :
+
+    kp: 0.2  # 20% of the current internal regulation offset are caused by the current difference of target temperature and room temperature
+    ki: 0.8 / 288.0  # 80% of the current internal regulation offset are caused by the average offset of the past 24 hours
+    k_ext: 1.0 / 25.0  # this will add 1°C to the offset when it's 25°C colder outdoor than indoor
+    offset_max: 2.0  # limit to a final offset of -2°C to +2°C
+    stabilization_threshold: 0.0  # this needs to be disabled as otherwise the long term accumulated error will always be reset when the temp briefly crosses from/to below/above the target
+    accumulated_error_threshold: 2.0 * 288  # this allows up to 2°C long term offset in both directions
+
+Light régulation :
+
+    kp: 0.2
+    ki: 0.05
+    k_ext: 0.05
+    offset_max: 1.5
+    stabilization_threshold: 0.1

+
+Medium régulation :

+    k_ext: 0.1
+    offset_max: 2
+    stabilization_threshold: 0.1
+    accumulated_error_threshold: 20
+
+
+Strong régulation :
+
+    """Strong parameters for regulation
+    A set of parameters which doesn't take into account the external temp
+    and concentrate to internal temp error + accumulated error.
+    This should work for cold external conditions which else generates

+    kp: 0.4
+    ki: 0.08
+    k_ext: 0.0
+    offset_max: 5
+    stabilization_threshold: 0.1
+    accumulated_error_threshold: 50
+
+Pour utiliser le mode Expert il vous faut déclarer les valeurs que vous souhaitez utiliser pour chacun de ces paramètres dans votre `configuration.yaml` sous la forme suivante :
+```
+versatile_thermostat:
+    auto_regulation_expert:
+        kp: 0.4

+        offset_max: 5
+        stabilization_threshold: 0.1
+        accumulated_error_threshold: 50
+```
+et bien sur, configurer le mode auto-régulation du VTherm en mode Expert. Tous les VTherm en mode **Expert** utiliseront ces mêmes paramètres.
+
+Pour que les modifications soient prises en compte, il faut soit **relancer totalement Home Assistant** soit juste l'intégration Versatile Thermostat (Outils de dev / Yaml / rechargement de la configuration / Versatile Thermostat).

 Self-regulation consists of forcing the equipment to go further by forcing its set temperature regularly. Its consumption can therefore be increased, as well as its wear.
 
+#### Self-regulation in Expert mode
+
+In **Expert** mode you can finely adjust the auto-regulation parameters to achieve your objectives and optimize as best as possible. The algorithm calculates the difference between the setpoint and the actual temperature of the room. This discrepancy is called error.
+The adjustable parameters are as follows:
+1. `kp`: the factor applied to the raw error,
+2. `ki`: the factor applied to the accumulation of errors,
+3. `k_ext`: the factor applied to the difference between the interior temperature and the exterior temperature,
+4. `offset_max`: the maximum correction (offset) that the regulation can apply,
+5. `stabilization_threshold`: a stabilization threshold which, when reached by the error, resets the accumulation of errors to 0,
+6. `accumulated_error_threshold`: the maximum for error accumulation.
+
+For tuning, these observations must be taken into account:
+1. `kp * error` will give the offset linked to the raw error. This offset is directly proportional to the error and will be 0 when the target is reached,
+2. the accumulation of the error makes it possible to correct the stabilization of the curve while there remains an error. The error accumulates and the offset therefore gradually increases which should eventually stabilize at the target temperature. For this fundamental parameter to have an effect it must not be too small. An average value is 30
+3. `ki * accumulated_error_threshold` will give the maximum offset linked to the accumulation of the error,
+4. `k_ext` allows a correction to be applied immediately (without waiting for errors to accumulate) when the outside temperature is very different from the target temperature. If the stabilization is done too high when the temperature differences are significant, it is because this parameter is too high. It should be possible to cancel completely to let the first 2 offsets take place
+
+The pre-programmed values are as follows:
+
+Slow régulation :
+
+    kp: 0.2  # 20% of the current internal regulation offset are caused by the current difference of target temperature and room temperature
+    ki: 0.8 / 288.0  # 80% of the current internal regulation offset are caused by the average offset of the past 24 hours
