Automating change of Storedge Profile

Being able to control the battery charge / discharge mode like this opens up many possibilities, for example:

• Set mode to "Off" during periods of cheap import rate, saving the energy for periods of high import rate. Also this mode can be used to avoid discharging the house battery during a period of high demand e.g. while charging an EV.
• Set mode to "Charge from PV and AC" during periods of negative import rate to get paid to charge it!
• Set mode to "Maximize export" during periods of high export rates to stabilise grid and get maximum income from the energy being exported.
• Set mode to "Maximize self consumption" at all other times to have the inverter automatically balance PV, battery and load.

An automation can be created to change battery profile like this

• Create a new automation
• Set the trigger, for example, at a particular time.
• Add a "Call Service" action.
• Set the service to "Select: Select"
• Set the entity to "solaredge_modbus_storage_default_mode"
• Set the option to whatever you want, for example "Charge from PV and AC"

Home assistant can now automatically change your battery profile based on whatever triggers you want - have fun!
