Feature Request: Get / Set schedule about home-assistant-hypervolt-charger HOT 7 CLOSED

Since version 2023.6

Yes, thanks, it is! Now, to decide on how to set a variable numbers of start / stop times. Maybe the integration could just define a fixed number of start and stop pairs of times (4, say). And any set where start=stop would be ignored. So someone could just set the start1 and stop1 fields to set a single on/off schedule.

Or something like that?

I've released V1.3.0 which has support for viewing and setting the schedule session start and end times. See the Readme for details. It uses the Home Assistant time format, supported from 2023.6

Note that Hypervolt appear to have had some issues with their APIs today - changing session times within the Hypervolt app and this integration sporadically failed. So you may see an occasional error when trying to apply a new schedule but unless you see a consistent error, this is likely to just be a (hopefully) transient issue with the Hypervolt APIs.

Let me know how you get on with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd ideally like something more user friendly than having to pass JSON. That's fine for the most tech savvy users, but not for everyone.
Do you have any examples of other integrations that allow getting and setting of dates and times (or ideally schedules) in other ways?

It looks like the Intelligent Octopus integration allows you to set a Target Ready By Time which may be similar?

This is just a drop down for predefined times though, but maybe this could be used for a user friendly alternative?

You can also create Helper datetime entities, and these show a card to edit the time:

I think it would be best if initially this just reads / writes the Hypervolt's schedule. That way you can still use the app to modify it. To support multiple schedules, we could have an automation blueprint to handle it

from home-assistant-hypervolt-charger.

Agreed, and that's what I mean too. The integration would read/write the same schedule as used by the HV app. But the HA integration needs some way to represent the schedule within HA, and the schedule consists of an arbitrary number of start/stop times.

Ahh, yes I totally forgot you could set multiple times. Yeah, I think a fixed number of start / stop pairs makes sense, and start=stop pairs ignored
