Feature request: Storm Watch like feature

Hello,
I think a Storm Watch like feature would be really cool. The ESS system actually already has everything it needs. The only thing missing is an automation to set the SOC to keep battery charged when a storm is coming.

Hi @MrYoshii,

A very useful feature indeed, while nothing to announce yet, this one is definitely on the radar.

As is the ability to automatically control charging/discharging based on local tariff pricing feeds.

I could use lightning detection within a 10km radius.

I was just going to ask for this feature when it came up as already started. I have seen it called Storm Guard. Think this would be an amazing addition to the Victron Eco-system.
