Feature Request: Force Charge/Discharge #156

Is it possible to use local command to force the Envoy to Charge & Discharge a Enphase A/C battery. Better yet are you able to interface direct with the A/C battery removing need for the Envoy?

I have no battery so I'm not into the details, but considering the Encharge manual, the Envoy is the heart of the system. The battery has bunch of inverters, just like solar panels have, and the envoy seems to control these, as well as the grid switches. So the need for the Envoy is there for sure.

Is that what you can do in the app, selecting the battery smart profile? If the app allows for it, it might be done from HA as well as long as we can find the page to change it.
