Automation that starts the dishwasher when the battery hits 100 percent, simple but effective
Sharing a small automation that turned out surprisingly useful. I'm in Germany where balcony solar with storage is a big thing, my setup is a SolarBank 4 that fills the battery by noon on sunny days, and everything after that used to go to the grid for nothing since there's no feed-in compensation for balcony systems here. Now I have Home Assistant watching the state of charge via Modbus, and when it hits 100 percent while solar is still producing, a smart plug starts the dishwasher. Same logic for the washing machine on weekends. The surplus that used to be wasted now runs the appliances directly. Took maybe 20 minutes to set up, one condition for SoC, one for current solar output above 800W, one action for the plug. Anyone doing something similar with other appliances
