Set awpl? #120

Closed kalaws closed 5 months ago

Is there any way to set awpl? Would be exceedingly useful.

Could you describe in detail what you are looking for? May be it's easier to start/stop charging depending on an external retrieved price instead of passing prices to the charger firmware.

I’m currently automating smart charging based on prices through home assistant. I’ve set up a price sensor which is using import prices most of they day, but export prices between for example 10-16, when a pv surplus is likely. It is like a basic manual form of forecasting. But the automations sometimes fail, and either way add an extra layer. If I could just pass on my proprietary price list to the charger and let it handle the starting and stopping, I think that would simplify the whole setup.

Part of the point of this kind of forecasting is to account for the fact that sometimes it is more beneficial to not charge when there is a pv surplus but instead export during the day and charge during night.

Could you ask the manufacturer about passing pricelists using awpl? I assume it's read-only at the moment and populated using internal retrieval methods.

Tried some time back, no response so far.

There is no room for improvements here unfortunately. Let's close this issue for now. Feel free to create a new issue or re-open this one if the situation / features of the firmware has changed.
