scheduled charging

[Vagabond80]

I might be able to do that with an automation that controls this automation, but I want to ask if you have any plans to implement scheduled charging which is a wallbox cornercase probably. I basically want to be able to configure times (either through a calendar implementation or manually) where I need my car charged so the wallbox should charge regardless of pv excess power and battery level. Right now I would probably need to create some automation that disables the pv excess automation and switches on the wallbox at a time calculated by battery state/max. current and battery capacity.

Hi there,

No plans to implement this at the moment, however I recognize that controlling a wallbox is one of the top use cases for the script. Maybe I can think of a way to implement this without making the rest of the blueprint more complex (e.g. through passing a date/time helper variable to the script)

Maybe we can work with an optional second blueprint that can control the pv excess automation. If I find some time I can look into it as well.

I'm also happy to help.

I like the idea of a seperate wallbox blueprint that uses the underlying pyscript.

Some possible features:

• different modes, e.g. eco, eco trickle, trip (will use solar but also non-solar to charge)
• scheduling as per original intention of this issue
• script variables that can be controlled from a dashboard, e.g. mode, max current, start, stop, scheduled times
