Weighting support with Maximum hours mode #65
Description
Describe the feature
Can I request that Maximum hours mode and weightings be an allowed combination.
According to the documentation weightings are only allowed with Exact hours mode - can you include maximum as an allowable combination please.
Expected behaviour
Weightings plus Maximum hours are a valid combination. Other features to continue to be respected - i.e. find the optimum slot bearing in mind octopus rates, run hours, weightings etc.
Use Case
I use TT to set my ASHP heating hours. In this very cold weather the calculated window is sometimes over 24 hours, so I have applied some logic that will cap the value before calling the service to update the target hours dynamically. I do this once a day at the start of my 24h forward-looking window.
This generally works, however on a HA restart I re-trigger the hours calculation and it tries to update the TT binary sensor and I am getting the error "Error: Weighting is not supported for this hour mode"
However I am also using weightings as if the timings allow I would like heating to take account that it takes a lot more power to start from cold.
