Breaking Change

The Solcast Integration appears to have been deprecated. It has been forked here and this has been submitted to HACS for approval so should be OK but you will need to update your setup.

What's New

Adds a couple of new features:

216 - adds a configuration parameter sleep_soc. If the SOC drops below this then the next charge times will be written to the inverter immediately. This is for AC coupled inverters such as the Solax X1 which go to sleep at low SOCs.

230 - adds customised consumption shaping if consumption history is not used. To do this add the following to config.yaml:

use_consumption_history: false
# consumption_history_days: 6
#
daily_consumption_kwh: 17
shape_consumption_profile: true
consumption_shape:
  - hour: 0
    consumption: 300
  - hour: 0.5
    consumption: 200
  - hour: 6
    consumption: 150
  - hour: 8
    consumption: 500
  - hour: 15.5
    consumption: 500
  - hour: 17
    consumption: 750
  - hour: 22
    consumption: 750
  - hour: 24
    consumption: 300

https://github.com/fboundy/pv_opt/issues/216 - adds a configuration parameter sleep_soc. If the SOC drops below this then the next charge times will be written to the inverter immediately. This is for AC coupled inverters such as the Solax X1 which go to sleep at low SOCs.

Can confirm that this works a treat. When SoC dropped to 15% the next charge cycle was written to the inverter. The battery then kept discharging down to 10% at which point the Inverter went idle. But the previously written charge cycle information was retained allowing the next charge to occur.

Thanks very much, the whole pv_opt addon now seems to work fine for my X1 AC inverter.
