@itsjxck Are you happy with the workaround? Setting the schedule times is something I'd like to add in the future, but probably when there is better support from HA for it.

As a stop gap, I wonder if the following could help you?
What about if you set an automation that sets the Hypervolt Mode
to Super Eco
when the price is 12p or higher, and one that sets it to Boost
when it is below 12p ?
This would then only charge the car when the price is sub-12p (which I think is your aim?).
Incase you aren't aware, Super Eco means that the charger will only use excess Solar that would otherwise go to the grid charge the car - it doesn't mater if you don't have solar, it just means it will never be able to use it.. the same as at night or a cloudy day.
I do something effectvely the same where I am on Octopus Intelligent, and put the HV into Super Eco mode (i.e. Solar only) when I'm on peak price, allowing the cars to charge from any excess solar but not use any mains elec during peak prices.
Anyhow... just a thought incase it helped!

Oh interesting, thank you @BadgerLoaf! I did not know that, but I will investigate; this will probably work fine for me, as my template sensors state updates every half hour with the current period price, I'll just use that as a trigger.

I'm def not expert, so maybe this isn't the right way to do it. But I just have the trigger set to detecting when the sensor changes ("the sensor" being a binary sensor that that I have setup for the on-peak / off-peak status)
So for me it changes as soon as it detects that change.
I'm pretty sure you could just set a trigger that activates when HA detects the price drops below (or goes above) the 12p mark, rather than needing to check every 30mins or something. Should make it more reactive.
Edit:
Sorry ignore me.. i misread your message in my haste! And you already basically said what I put above!
from home-assistant-hypervolt-charger.
I did exactly what you said and coupled it with a dropdown helper to allow me to easily change the threshold at which the automation turns on/off the charger. Probably pretty dull for experts but here's the automation:

Yes definitely, it works for me until setting a schedule becomes available.
