Discharge from the battery to meet the home demand without first having to edit / delete the current set charge period especially if prices are high
Surely that would typically be around the 16:00-19:00 hour mark for which you wouldn't set up an Agile Octopus charge window anyway?
You can set up a regular export schedule for those peak hours in the Schedules section.
automate battery top up at cheap rates without my input
That is the case, at 16:15 your schedule for the next day should be preselected for the window and the number of slots you had configured for your Agile Octopus charge window(s).
automate the battery discharge and charge period so it meets my day time usage but allows me to hold back 50% for peak
I guess you could achieve this by selecting a few charge slots before the 16:00 peak period starts?
What I think is worth implementing is basically a charge condition based on SOC to be configurable before a window starts.
Ie. Charge only during Octo Agile if my battery is lower than 75%. And this can be configured on your Agile charge window. Each new contiguous block would check/validate and decide to action the schedule or not.
Does that make sense? Happy to hear other users' input on this too before we go 'charging in'! 😜
