The blueprint for auto signup and notifications for joining a saving session are great, but the last few have been 30 minutes (rather than the more usual 60 minutes etc), so it would be useful if the end time (and/or duration) of the saving session was included in the notification.
Expected behaviour
Rather than the current Joined a new Octopus Energy saving session. It starts at 18:00 on 2/3, it displays something like Joined a new Octopus Energy saving session. It starts at 18:00 on 2/3, and ends at 18:30 on 2/3. or Joined a new Octopus Energy saving session. It starts at 18:00 on 2/3 and lasts 30 minutes. or even Joined a new Octopus Energy saving session. It starts at 18:00 on 2/3, lasts 30 minutes, and ends at 18:30 on 2/3.
Use Case
I'm lazy and I don't want to have to open the Octopus App to see its duration. Or in some cases, even HA, as notifications could be pushed to other devices etc.

The blueprint has now been updated to include the duration in minutes. There is also a new variation of the blueprint which allows the user to change how the message is sent.
