Feature Request: Flexible duration from helper about ha_epex_spot_sensor HOT 4 CLOSED

I have implemented that in my fork just after the initial revision of this sensor came out:
https://github.com/grol-hass/ha_epex_spot_sensor_variable_duration
Feel free to pull changes from there.

I'm using it to determine when to charge my home battery from grid, that's why I also added code to make sure intermittent time slots are adjacent if possible.
Also note that I have just replaced the timedelta from the configuration page completely by a input_number entity field (needs to be in seconds) - but I guess that could be modified to use an option to choose between a hardcoded value or an entity (maybe also a template sensor)

@grol-hass Thanks for sharing. I will use this a template.

This is a valid request. I need to check how much effort it is.

It would be enough to provide an entity for duration.
Best solution is template :)
