you can adjust the soc-limits via API. But the logic must be done outside evcc. |

Yes - but preferably I would not need some external cron job to alter the soc limits. I was thinking to add a lookup table to the Thoughts? |

To provide a bit of context to my suggestion: under my circumstances (I live in sunny Brisbane, Australia with great year-round solar yields), my solar setup (20 kW) generates sufficient amounts of electricity to recharge my car (50 km daily drives), load my home battery (13.5 kWh) and power my all-electric household (warm water heat pump, pool pumps, aircon, etc.). I use EVCC to time recharging my car just right, ie. such that I achieve the greatest degree of autonomy overall (currently sitting at an average of 95% autonomy year round or so). But I think that making the use of an optional home battery more flexible is of use beyond my specific circumstances. What comes to mind is this:
I think in all of the aforementioned cases, it would come in handy to have a rule-based mechanism that can toggle between configuration variants for home battery settings. In its simplest form, these could be simple scheduling rules. More advanced rules could be stateful and say, call some weather forecast API. |

I would love to implement an (option) time schedule feature for the home battery settings where different
prioritySoc
/bufferSoc
/bufferStartSoc
settings can be configured for different times during the day.The rationale is as follows:
In the morning, I want my car to top up as fast as possible, temporarily drawing on the home battery as needed. Uninterrupted charging from solar (and electricity from my home battery to cross the 6A threshold) is more important to me than filling my home battery to the brim.
Conversely, in the afternoon I want to fully charge my home battery from solar for the night and deprioritize the car as needed. So the home battery settings would be different.
In my personal scenario, different morning and afternoon home battery settings would be sufficient. But perhaps there are scenarios where battery settings follow a schedule and can change multiple times during the day.
I would love some feedback before I go about implementing any such capability.
