    A lot to unpack there Kezo so let me tell you my existing set up. I have my solar, via my 8.8 kWh Sunsynk inverter, set to sell but I have another 3.6kwh inverter that goes to the house.

    It’s a Hypervolt charger that I have and I don’t know how to tell if it’s wired grid side or not.

    I have no urge to do anything nowadays 😂 but home assistant seemed like the answer even though I don’t know what the question is lol.

    The problem I have is that during the summer months I will almost always be sending power back to the grid but to keep IOG you need to have your charger plugged into the car for a certain amount of time. I can of course plug it into but prevent it from charging via my Hyundai app but not sure if that will satisfy Octopus.

    Home assistant seems to be able to stop/pause power coming from your battery when cheap power is being supplied from Octopus but not sure it can do anything for solar.

    The set up will change as we approach autumn/winter as my solar will drop off drastically and it will be much easier to control the battery on its own as I will be setting it to power my air pump and the house and just selling off what’s left at night but as far as I’m aware Hime Assistant, if set up correctly, can manage all of these things.

    So I am not familiar with Home Assistant or any of these things add ons but I’m confident I can master the basics but I’ve no evidence to support this bold claim 😂
