Lowest price for the next X hours #204

Hi . Is there a way to make the node turn on when the price is at the lowest for the next X hours?

Example: I trigger a button that will turn my diswasher on at the lowest price between now and the next 8 hours.

Thank you

Would be interesting to know why you want this, but assuming the dishwasher uses most power in the beginning, it would make some sense. You could use the Lowest Price node for 1 hour, and then use a filter node to filter out the message turning off, and a delay node to delay it for 7 hours. Takes some experimenting, but I am sure it is possible.
