Hi Everyone, looking for some help with Home Assistant automations.

I'm ideally looking to trigger my battery to charge when my car is charging to take advantage of Intelligent Octopus Go.

I've been trying to trigger this using the Intelligent Dispatching turning to On, but seemingly that's incorrect as it doesn't seem to automatically start charging, I have to manually trigger for it to start working.

The second part is that when charging the car finishes I'd like the automation to stop, and go back to AI mode - so it decides to dump the battery or save for the day ahead. I've heard there are alternatives to this in home assistant so open to suggestions.

I have a Hypervolt 3 Pro.

I've attached the two YAML files - have tried using Gemini/Chat GPT which thus far has given me wrong answers...

Thanks!

Hi fella Sig users.

I had my solar panels + Sig Inverter/Battery install over the past few days, initially in self-consumption mode, AI mode currently won't work which my installer is trying to speak to Sig about. Despite my tariff rates being in the app, it says we need to put them in and fails - moderately frustrating.

Until this is sorted I have tried to create a manual schedule - set my peak window to 'Self-Consumption' mode, then at the other times (which is my off peak window) simply do nothing, the house will then pull from the grid - perfect.

Now the issue - when I enable this personal schedule, the house starts pulling from the grid rather than the batteries (which are 50% full).

Hopefully someone can point out something silly that I'm doing!

Cheers

UPDATE:
The system for some reason got set up in time zone UTC+11 which explains why it kept importing from the grid when I set it not to.

AI mode suddenly worked the following day and my installer/sig have set my time zone back to London

Problem solved
