Automate Force Charge and back to self-consumption

[rikardkjell]

I'm trying to automate force charge between given time-periods and is a bit lost. How do I switch the EMS to forced and then force charge followed by the reversed procedure for stopping ?

[Louisbertelsmann]

You can call the service "input_select.select_option" to set EMS mode and Battery forced charge in an automation.

Super. Thanx. I'll try it out.

can you paste a Code example of an automation?

Here is one of mine of the bat...
I got the Nordpool integration so you probably have to modify the triggers but serves well as an example:

`alias: "SG: Start charge when low price at Nordpool"
description: ""
trigger:

• platform: template
  value_template: >-
  {%if states('nordpool_kwh_se4_sek_3_10_025')|float(0) <=
  states('input_number.prisgrans_nordpool')|float(0) %}true{% else %}false{%
  endif %}
  id: start
• platform: template
  value_template: >-
  {%if states('nordpool_kwh_se4_sek_3_10_025')|float(0) >
  states('input_number.prisgrans_nordpool')|float(0) %}true{% else %}false{%
  endif %}
  id: stop
  condition: []
  action:
• choose:
  • conditions:
    • condition: trigger
      id:
      • start
        sequence:
    • service: input_select.select_option
      data:
      option: Forced mode
      target:
      entity_id: input_select.set_sg_ems_mode
      enabled: true
    • delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 10
      milliseconds: 0
    • service: input_select.select_option
      data:
      option: Forced charge
      target:
      entity_id:
      - input_select.set_sg_battery_forced_charge_discharge_cmd
      enabled: true
    • delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 10
      milliseconds: 0
    • service: input_number.set_value
      target:
      entity_id: input_number.set_sg_forced_charge_discharge_power
      data:
      value: 3000
  • conditions:
    • condition: trigger
      id:
      • stop
        sequence:
    • service: input_select.select_option
      data:
      option: Stop (default)
      target:
      entity_id:
      - input_select.set_sg_battery_forced_charge_discharge_cmd
      enabled: true
    • delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 10
      milliseconds: 0
    • service: input_select.select_option
      data:
      option: Self-consumption mode (default)
      target:
      entity_id: input_select.set_sg_ems_mode
      enabled: true
      mode: single`

thanks, i'll try to the it running. Did your post broke the yaml-format ? if so, can you post it as "code".

[nunaz89]

Thank you again. Thanks to your code, I was able to implement my own automation with Tibber. I was also able to build an “intelligent” battery controller that dynamically charges the battery as soon as the AC power of the inverter is exceeded.

You are welcome. Nice to be able to help :-)
