Can I have 2 AC feeds into a Quattro (AC IN 1 & AC IN 2) and disable AC 1 between 04:00 to 23:59 everyday.
Basically use a second supply (attached to AC IN 1) on cheap rate between 00:00 and 04:00.
I know AC IN 1 will take precedence over AC IN 2 and I could put an external contactor / timer on it to achieve this but wondered if I can do it with an assistant?
I presume that there is no sort of GX device connected to the Quattro.
A Quattro doesn't have a real time clock in it, so it's not possible to perform time based functions in it. Time based functions would need to be performed by an external device.
Yes Cerbo GX is available, so I assume this would be Node-Red then. OK so can the AC input be disabled via Node-Red?
Node-Red may not be necessary. There is a way to do it using a combination of assistants and the CerboGX for doing the time base functions.
