Create documentation and cookbooks so that volunteers can, e.g.

compute only when solar panels have excess power
compute only when exterior temp is below X
compute only when price of electricity is below X etc.

Do this for at least: home assistant Apple Google Amazon

Should work with low-power protocols (zigb, zwave) as well as wifi

This probably doesn't require changes to the client; just use GUI RPCs.

It would be good for the Event Log to show the reason for suspension: temperature, solar panels, etc. I believe this would require at least a small change to the client, to allow the GUI RPC to include a reason for suspension.

compute only when price of electricity is below X

This is already available by using the Daily Schedules tab in local computing preferences.

Not if the price of electricity is dynamic

I'll add the 'reason' arg to RPC
