Charging based on sensor state

[djdarlo]

I've just started using target settings on the Octopus Agile integration where you can build sensors based on the duration and energy prices.

Is there any easy way of using this integration to charge the battery based on one of these sensors?

I was thinking of the automation route and something like

If target sensor is true
And SOC below a certain value
And Solar forecast for today is below a certain value
Then trigger batter charging

For starters, look at https://github.com/nathanmarlor/foxess_em.

If you want to do something yourself, yes you should be able to write that sort of logic using automations in home assistant. You can set min/max soc and work mode, and the next release will let you set charge windows as well.

Thank you. I’m thinking the force charge on and off services may do the trick.
