    You got a house battery? If I had a largish house battery I’d certainly move to that and automate the battery use by electricity costs. ;-)

      Yup I have solar panels and a 5kWh battery. The panels don’t do much in the winter, but the batteries have proved their worth with the tariff. I have a few other automations like the immersion heater coming on when prices go negative

        I did maths on a battery with my current tarrif, but agile probably means I should revisit. What I really want is a nice big second life EV battery.
