Delayed "Allow discharging" when peak grid power ahead

[unclej84]

I was wondering if it might be possible to not directly release the discharge lock after battery is fully charged/not charging anymore but to check if some spikes in grid prices are ahead and postpone the release until shortly before it.

Normally prices are good in the early morning or around noon but spike during the morning and the evening. The idea would be e.g. not to let discharge already in the afternoon but to wait for the peaks in the evening to use the stored energy.

Based on input parameters like (battery capacity, average consumption) or discharge price time range and discharge price min the next suitable time window after charging could be detected for discharging. If parameters are not present, the behavior would be as currently is.

Nice idea, but will be hard to implement. Maybe later ;-)
