Is there any way to set up timed battery discharging?

I have a 10KVA Quattro with 3kW DC coupled PV, 10kW AC Coupled PV and 16.8kWh pylontech battery storage. I'm also with Octopus agile here in the UK, so the price for export sometimes goes up to 64ppkWh exported - I want to take advantage of this! I'm after a way to discharge my batteries on demand - preferably using a bit of python to continually monitor the Octopus agile API. Is this timed discharging possible?

I am doing this manually changing grid set point to negative which works fine. I believe you can also modify this grid set point register in GX if not more feasible way available.

Use node red to automate it.

Got it working :) Just waiting credentials for the use API to get spot-prices loaded automatically.

Did you @JaniEronen manage to get the spot-prices loaded automatically. Which service provider are you referring to?

@nickdb - this is probably a very basic question but is there a way to automate setting charging grid point remotely via a web call? Or do I need to have a local device?
