That should be possible. It will also require a GivEnergy inverter controller to be written On 18 Mar 2024 at 19:28 +0000, John Maton @.***>, wrote:
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We do not have solar (low priority as East/West roof and high latitudes in Scotland providing limited benefit in the winter months and poor ROI), but we do have a givenergy all-in-one battery/inverter. This integration looks to be perfect for scheduling charge and discharge cycles based on the Octopus Agile tariff.

Thank you for the quick response and consideration.
As a fyi, there is the GivTCP integration that exposes all of the givenergy inverter information/controls (https://github.com/britkat1980/giv_tcp)
Do you use the Rest API or MQTT with GivTCP? On 18 Mar 2024 at 19:55 +0000, John Maton @.***>, wrote:

MQTT.
I just followed the process as written in this tutorial https://www.speaktothegeek.co.uk/2022/12/givtcp-v2-givenergy-and-home-assistant-with-solar-forecast-automation/#overview
OK - I will have a look at that. The option to have no solar will be in the next release (3.12.0) so you should be able to configure your setup in read-only mode using the parameters in config.yaml
. Just leave the inverter type as solis
for now. Once you have it running read-only we can look at getting the inverter controller plug-in built.
Thank you. I will take a look when I am back from Canada.
OK let me know when you've had a chance to look at it
