Feature request: Set Default Heat Source #59

Closed njhcarroll closed 1 month ago

njhcarroll commented 3 months ago

Hi Tomas I have finally taken the plunge and installed a Mixergy tank. It is working well and I can see savings already and your excellent HA integration offers great potential (if I could have the following :) )

I am on the Agile Octopus tariff and it would be great to be able to automatically kick the tank into a boost on electricity when there is a plunge price period or on the rare occasions when we might want to boost the capacity be able to have it select to charge on electricity if the price per Kw is less than gas which is the default heating source.

So the request is to have a select entity (and service to change it) which offers "Indirect", "Electric", "Heat pump" which could be changed by an automation before requesting a charge. Another automation could then switch it back to the default on completion.

It looks like this could be done in the schedule endpoint section of the API. Sadly, I don't have the skills to safely tinker with your code!

I would really appreciate it if you could update your code if I am right that feature could be added.

Many thanks. Nick
