Hi Bogguard, I’ve just got my system installed (finally!) and now have the opportunity to check and test different things. Some of the things I wrote earlier is already solved! =) I will also post this in the open forum. The suggestions of three vital features I have now is the following: 1. Create a “Then”-card for “ **Change Operating mode** ” to **Manual** , **Self-consumption** or **Time of Use (ToU)** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/f/ffc647952acdc8a5eea68e4fb983ac56bd2b4603.png) 1. Create a “Then”-card for “ **Discharge** X (add **tag** here) watts”: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/c/dca5754e143514ed60fe29cdac0ecf9803fd0a7b.png) 1. Create a “Then”-card for “ **Charge** X (add **tag** here) watts”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/2/62c0b46def52c69217a73f2eef636b51d007544d.png) if possible there is a fourth suggestions and it is in regards to the mode of Time of Use: 1. Create a “Then”-card that “Set schedule for Time of Use” I don’t know how this works yet though… 😃 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/5/2599c146ef3c7e3d97cd73fcf35bd9f3aa86d063.png) let me know if I can be of any help! Best regards Rikard ---

Hi, So far I have solved point 1, 2 and 3 above via sending a HTTP-request using Homey Logic: Example of “discharge” command wanting to discharge 2000 watts: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/7/872265373785d876a4a13ffce8219bfef2ade46c.png) keep in mind to change to your correct IP number as well as copy/pasting your unique API-token where I’ve written “PASTETOKENHERE” ---

Hi Fellow-Homey-users I’ve just pushed an app: [Sonnen Batterie App til Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/da-dk/app/com.sonnen.battery/Sonnen-Batterie/) I’ve been adressing ToC (Time Of Consumption), with the ability to Pause ToC, Reset ToC and create Schedule for ToC. Feedback appreciated. ---

Hi, Great app! One thing I notice is that if I create a ToU schedule, it removed whatever schedule I have previously set. In the Sonnen dashboard it is possible to have more schedules for a day. Is this possible to have support for setting more schedules in the Homey app? /Martin ---

Hi, van I use your App also with my Sonnenbatterie Ver. 6. I also use the actual sonnen App . Thanks ![IMG_4512](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/0/b0500aaf9b20ce056e5a496b0d470ca6ff1b7008.jpeg) ---

Hi Kim, I’ve been using your App for a while now and it works great. I’ve a feature request: is it possible to create a command to set TOU with also the starting time configurable by tag. This would alow to schedule at variable hours, when needed. It’s quite similar with already existing command. ![Screenshot_2024-08-23-17-18-22-07_4bbfc4a7dd885a2bb189f300112a7ed4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/4/046c097a2f66a7e19718abf2d5cc9de39c3b6f31.jpeg) Thanks. ---

Hi, I am looking for a way add apply hours as a parameter. I did not succeed. I think I did a variant with +hours instead of hour-format. Do you by chance know of a app/flow, that allows input for “hour-format”? ---

Hi Kim. I did some research through google. Seems the api works like this: curl -X PUT [http://192.168.0.130/api/v2/configurations](http://192.168.0.130/api/v2/configurations) -d “{"EM\_ToU\_Schedule":[{"start":"11:51","stop":"12:45","threshold\_p\_max": 46000}]}” -H “Auth-Token: xxx” -H “Content-Type: application/json” What works on my SB10 from my win10 laptop. Why not provide the hour-format as simple string, where user can provide “11:51” for start parameter in the sample above? This way you can use a homey time tag to set the string value. Combine this with the +hours variant and you can easily set the SB10 to load for 1 or more hours when grid prices are low. You might ask why I’m asking for this functionality. It seems my SB10 only gets high charge when TOU start/stop period is small. When TOU configuration spans all day the charging goes very slow. Diving deeper into your app today, I see I can solve this by creating 24h flows that have hardcoded hours and look for some app logic to select the correct flow, but I think this complicates things as my string solution covers all. Regards, Marc. ---

Hi @Marc_Iven I can make a flow with string as input, where you put in 24-hour formatted values. Homey supports time as a parameter, and of my know-abouts it is not possible to provide a parameter without using the UI - if that makes sense. Strings is possible. What do you have in mind: start, stop and threshold right? ---

Hi Kim, Most easy would be to have - start (string) - hours (number) - threshold (number) You have already implemented a function like that, but not with start as string instead hour/min sliders. Greetz, Marc. ---
