disable power production by negative energy prices #188

is there a option for disable power production by negative energy prices. now enphase is charging a monthly fee for disable my own solar system.

I was looking for the same option. However, I can't find it. Even the "Elighten" app from Enphase doesn't show me an option to turn off the intervers. My installer told me that this option will be added to the app at some point. Hopefully the corresponding API will then also be available.

BTW, I think this issue is a duplicate of #174

Yes, #174 is on the same topic (and I think that's why I missed replying here).

As mentioned in #175, I think you need an installer account for this to work and @vincentwolsink's custom integration supports it, with the remark that switching back on has been seen to happen only next day, an Enphase issue. I've never tried it with my production Envoy and plain home owner account.

That would be neat, but probably require a Envoy firmware update, unless it can be done today, but we just don't know how. Based on past experience with firmware and local api support......
