Disable/enable HEMS

[jpawlowski]

Hello folks,

I wonder if it was possible to simply enable and disable using the HEMS using this integration?

The reason for me is that I don't want my battery to be used for cooking or other high energy demands (thank god the Shelly smart meter can NOT see my electric car...).

Due to the new 15-minutes energy cost slots, I will need to rework my own automation. That's why I started using the HEMS and I have to admit it seems to do a proper work in a lot of cases.
The only thing I miss is to disable it for as long as cooking takes place so that the battery can get me through night and especially expensive morning hours.

Regards,
Julian

Hi Julian,

this depends on the device you use. For the Hyper 2000 I've found a solution (see #903). This is based on the 1.1.4-pre10

Hi Harry, detection is one thing, controlling HEMS on/off is a different one.

That's true, but with the Hyper, you can switch HEMS on/off with this PR!
It does not work with other devices, because they have not the entity hemsState (as far I know for now). You will not see the HEMS-Switch changing in the App, also no "action" on the HEMS-Page in the App (if it was set to OFF in the App before), but if you compare what the Hyper do load/unload, than you can see, it follows the setting you have applied. If you have switched HEMS On in the App and disable it in the integration, you will see the (changed) behavior of the Hyper on the HEMS-Page.
I did not test every thing, because I have no Shelly for the smart meter function, but time controlled load / unload (base load mode) works.
