Setup troubles #107
Description
Having great difficulty wrapping my head around how the Set Schedule automation works. I have a Home Assistant Green running the latest version of HA, Octopus Energy and Hypervolt integrations both from HACS. Hypervolt Home 3 Pro running firmware 3951, direct control of the charger works perfectly in HA, it's the Set Schedule bit I don't understand.
I've configured the target_rate binary sensor from Octopus, and that's pulled in the correct Agile schedule given the target price and number of hours (<0.18p and six hours just for testing, all hours back to back so should be a single schedule). The sensor is "off" despite populating the schedule. My understanding from here is that I need to set up an automation so that the schedule is pushed to the Hypervolt from HA. If I set up a simple automation (every sixty seconds, trigger Hypervolt Set Schedule) with my charger ID and target_rate sensor, nothing happens on the charger's end, even if I have backup schedule enabled.
I've tried the "invert rate" option for the sensor with a ludicrous price just to force it to switch on for testing, and that doesn't push a schedule either. What am I doing wrong?
