Idea - compare rates 24 hours ahead

[discodancerstu]

Is there a potential to add a compare feature looking ahead to the next day? Particularly for agile rates.

For example, our best rate is usually Go (batteries charge during cheap rates 0030 - 0530), but when Agile rates drop, we often change to this tariff.

As rates are usually published around 1600, could Predbat run a future compare for the next day using these published agile rates, say at 2000. This would enable us to configure our plan (charge and discharge) should we want to change tariff at 0800 the next morning.

You can simply schedule an automation to run Predbat compare whenever you want to. See the compare documentation.

Bear in mind that Octopus may well restrict regular swapping between smart tariffs. I know at least one person who was told he couldn't change smart tariff as he hadn't been on that smart tariff for 30 days.
