Hey everyone,
I am in the process of building a home battery:
- 48 280AH Lifepo4's in 3 parallel strings
- JK BMS's
- connected to 3 Multiplus-II 5000's, Cerbo and display, smart shunt (and anything else I may still need).
Effectively, I am copying Harold Halewijn's setup as described in his many videos on youtube (many thanks for that).
One thing I would like to do is to control the systems using hourly energy rates ie charge when the rates are low, dischare to a base level (25%?) when rate are high and use the remaining energy for the morning peak, rinse and repeat. I currently already heat my boiler during low rates using my home automation (domoticz) where I am pretty proficient in that side of the automation. It's the ESS side where I can do with some advice/help.
I would (really) like help with the following:
- sanity check on the overall setup
- configuration of the entire system (above and beyond Harold's videos)
- help on how to control the system to achieve the schedule I described (MQTT, SSH, JSON, whatever mechanism works)
Happy to spend money on it as it's really important to get it right and maintain high WAF. Based in NL, happy to drive or receive anyone.
Let me know, many thanks in advance!
Herman
