A dedicated ‘dynamc pricing’ charging mode

[ronnflonnflonn]

Yes, there is support for charging at the cheapest hours, but it is not a simple ‘fire and forget’ thing.
I need to:

• switch to ‘pv’ (which is confusing);
• check and set charger settings (fast-charging hours, pause-hours);
• check and set the charge plan;
  And then still, i cant stop it from charging solar at suboptimal prices in the day time.
  And then also the battery settings.

It would be much simpler if i:

• could set ‘dynamic charging’ mode
• Enter charge plan (charge amount / % and ETA)
• And a checkbox to include charge+decharge the batteries.
  And let the system figure out the cheapest hours.

Looks to me like this is on the roadmap: https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/features/optimizer

Well, the optimizer is all about prediction and stepping away from pure rule based behavior. What I mean to say is more of a different charging mode: not related to solar at all, actually - purely price based.
That can be enhanced with Optimizer for sure; but that goes for all charging modes.
For now, a simple rule based ‘charge when cheap, discharge when expensive’ would really be useful.
