New #blog post: Using #homeassistant to control our #solar #battery charging schedule via #soliscloud
I noticed recently that Soliscloud exposed their control functions via the API, allowing me to hook Home Assistant up to it and control charge schedules based on things like import prices.
This post talks about setting up so the following can kick the battery into charge:
* A manual schedule
* Cheapest period sensors
* Price below threshold
* Octopus Powerup
