Not quite the same but similar, need to do something also to stop my batteries charging at night so I can use full power during the right time

I'm now looking to see if I can get the data from the national grid api and set it to automatically start.
Ooooo that would be nice, that would make my life easier for sure
Getting their. I've extracted the times now working on the date, and the variable of the CSV file name.. I'm still learning. :D :D

I had a look at the information on national grid ESO yesterday and it's possible to choose a data range and get cURL link but I'm not sure how to implement it into HA or node red, I have node red as an app in HA so if it's easier to add it there it would automatically show as an entity
16 250w Trina panels
Voltronic Axpert Max 8Kw hybrid inverter
3 x Chinese 125Ah (19Kwh total) batteries
To be done, more panels and a wind turbine
Off Grid 20 out of 24hrs
