After a long struggle, I finally managed to integrate my Senec storage system into Home Assistant! It was a bit of a journey, but with the help of some online resources, I got it working. Now, I can monitor my energy production and consumption in real-time, which is incredibly satisfying.
One thing I’m really curious about is optimizing my energy usage based on dynamic electricity pricing. I’ve heard that in some areas, electricity is cheaper during off-peak hours, especially at night. I’m wondering if anyone has experience setting up a system that automatically charges the storage during these cheaper hours and uses the stored energy during peak times.
For example, during the winter months, it might be ideal to charge the storage overnight when rates are lower and then use that stored energy during the day when rates are higher. This could potentially save a lot on electricity bills.
Has anyone implemented something like this? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips or resources you might have. Let’s discuss!
