I have my own WattRouter that optimizes my household Victron.jpgconsumption. I'd like to extend it with a feature that disables battery charging in the morning - pushing battery charging to a later time.
The goal is to sell PV power at higher prices at SPOT (7:00 - 10:00 AM) in the morning and then charge the battery at lower feed-in tariffs.
Everything else must be business as usual - especially the delivery of PV to the house.
If you use the ESS assistant you can use scheduled charging for that
How can I achieve that?
A link to the documentation or anything else would be useful... I'm really not wise to this answer and it didn't help me much :-(
Here is the ess installation guide:

Section 4 is about scheduled charging
I would like to revisit this question as the OP didn't specify DC vs AC PV and I think that changes the solution. An option might be to set the ChargeCurrent to 0 between 7am and 10am but that will not limit DC PV charging, if that is the case here but might work for AC PV - not sure.
If DC PV is in play, is there a way to achieve the same result as the original question? Feed back to grid between 7am and 10am but power the house and maintain MinSOC during that time.
A few people have asked me the same question , but for DC PV, and I don't have a solution.
