Feature request: Min price in ps-strategy-lowest-price #118

I think it would be useful to have a "Min price for off" or an "acceptable price" in the ps-strategy-lowest-price node. It would configure the node to not send an off command if the price is lower than the configured value, even if the current hour is not being part of the lowest price hours. Like the "Max price" attribute, but opposite.

The use case is when you want to run an equipment for at least X hours a day, but preferable more if the price is low.

[Edit: spelling]

Good idea!
