Charge at the cheaper rates
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2020 3:56 pm
Thanks for your work on this plugin - absolutely awesome!
I'm wondering if there is an easy way to charge my Tesla PowerWall Battery, and maybe my Car overnight.
I don't need it to charge for 2, 3, or 4 hour straight.
But instead I need it to charge for say, 4 or 6 hours - it doesn't matter when, but using the lowest rates overnight.
This means it could charge for 30m, stop because the rates spike up, then 30m later start charging again - as long as it gets a total of 6 hours of charging overnight I'm good.
At the moment I'm doing this by manually editing the trigger each night to charge when the price drops below the rate that I set (depending on what I see are coming up overnight).
Any way to automate this somehow?
