Feature request: heat when sun shines #63

If you're like me and have photovoltaic installed on the roof, you want to maximize the self consumption as much as possible. One way to do this would be to add a sensor for when DC voltage are above a certain limit, and when true start the heating no matter if it's needed or not.

In my situation I have floor heating, and it usually takes around 12 hours for the house to get warm, which would be kind of perfect time wise since it then would warm the house "on a buffer" that would last until the next day (on a sunny day).

With this new setting it should also be possible to set a hard limit, like don't heat the house if it's "this warm".

The function could also be used to boost water.

This can be done in Node-Red, and I don't know if this feature is in scope for this integration.
