v0.2.5

Changes

This PR will introduce a new feature: during the winter months, the battery will charge to AC Grid Cutoff Soc at the cheapest hours available. It will do so between 00 and 06 and between 10 and 17.

It also introduces two new sensors to be configured during the config flow, so re-configure the sensor when updating.

I have updated the sensor to only update every minute instead of state changes from the various input sensors.

The DEFAULT_HSEM_DEFAULT_TOU_MODES also changed not to include charge hours.

The state for the Working Mode sensor has been updated to include the current recommendation. The recommendations can be:

• TimeOfUse: Represents the "time_of_use_luna2000" working mode.
• MaximizeSelfConsumption: Represents the "maximise_self_consumption" working mode.
• FullyFedToGrid: Represents the "fully_fed_to_grid" working mode.
• ForceBatteriesCharge: Represents a mode to "force_batteries_charge".
• ForceBatteriesDischarge: Represents a mode to "force_batteries_discharge".
• EVSmartCharging: Represents a mode to enable "ev_smart_charging".
• ForceExport: Represents a mode to "force_export" energy to the grid.

Please report any bugs in Github.

Next up on the roadmap is:

• Fix energy sensors that still have some issues
• Work on the calculations for the expected PV surplus from Solcast and Energy Sensors.
• Calculate the price difference to check for enough difference to force the battery to charge in the winter months.
