Description

I have an E10 tariff in the UK. This means that prices vary throughout the day in 6 distinct periods that run for different times. For me cheap rate 0430-0730, 1330-1630,2030-0030. These actually run from 24 minutes past. There is no way I could download this information for the day ahead.

Suggested Solution

Allow manual times to be injected with the prices for periods. Also the allow entering pricing or not in my case for the export.

Hi, we've planned to look into the E10 / UK requirements in detail.

But only after we've finished what we're working on now, which is implementing dynamic-ess into VRM, so no longer requiring Node-RED.

While Matthijs is correct that the focus is on VRM right now, the implementation on Venus OS does allow using a Node-RED flow to set a schedule.

Basically set the mode to 4 (Node-RED) and insert your own schedule into the slots.

You can use the example flow as a start. If you can get a working example or E10/UK, I am happy to add it to the importable example flows.

Hi, sorry for taking so long to reply. I've only just updated my cerbo to be able to look at the new node-red flows. I think for someone wanting to use the schedule nodes they are a great addition and probably don't need an example as the one you have is pretty self explanatory.
