Thanks Will - excellent automation - solves a lot of problems!
I have an H1 inverter - so if you set the Minimum SoC it doesn't charge the battery at all (but does stop discharge) - so below is the code / automation I use to change the working mode.
Notes:
When setting up, I created a blank automation, then used the 'id' for that and replaced the generated code with that below.
Also the notification is just so I could check it works reliably, will probably remove those after a few weeks
Replace the XXX with your entity / meter number
Is based on 7p / 25p import rates, at the point of creating this - can adjust according to need
This code goes into automations.yaml file - but be careful with any edits!
Enjoy... it may take some time to get the code working... but using ChatGPT can help a lot!
