Can Solar Assistant be used to control battery charge from, and discharge to, the grid? Octopus Flux
I have just moved onto Octopus Flux which means charging up batteries at night and, if there is spare capacity, selling some power from the batteries (20kWh in my case) between 4 and 7pm. I haven't found a way to use the timer in the Sunsynk app to discharge the batteries to the grid down to a specified SOC - only discharge to load.
Is there anyone out there using a Pi and Solar Assistant who can use it to cause the batteries to discharge to the grid (sell) at certain times of the day (eg 4 to 7pm) and charge from the grid at other times (eg 2 to 5am in the case of Octopus Flux).
If yes, this would be a great help.
Thank you.

Solar Assistant tell me that they are "...expecting to have automation rules in SolarAssistant in the next 2 - 3 months". This was in answer to a question on automating charging and discharging of batteries to fit in with Octopus Flux.
