Full Changelog: v2.7.0...v2.8.0b3

Refactor aggressive-type:

There is now a fourth option for caution-hour types; "Scrooge".
What Scrooge does is act like Aggressive in terms of which hours to determine as caution vs non, but on top of that, he will steal from your eligable hours so that you never have more than 8 hours per 24hr-cycle available for charging. By this, you get a cheaper charging overall, but a more narrow window.

Change dynamic top-price logic:

This change is for those with price-aware charging and the option to use the monthly average as top-price.
Previously this option ignored your static top-price alltogether.
Now it will take the min-value of the two (monthly average and your set top-price).

Block nocturnal charging:

Should you wish to block out nocturnal charging (23-06) but still get the cheapest hours possible from the rest of the hours, this is the option for you.
If you are not using price-awareness you can just control your non-hours as per usual, this has no effect for you.

Activate through the options-flow if desired

Gain/loss-sensors:

These sensors are aimed at gamify your savings. They will only appear if you have regular peaqev-installation with powermeter (ie not Lite), and will continously show you how your purchased kWh compare percentage-wise to the daily or monthly average from your Nordpool-setup/settings.

They do fluctuate more in the beginning of a period, and later stabilize. However, if you chose to visualize them you can get a hint of how your day or month is going and act accordingly.

In order for the data to be correct you will need to have this version installed over the limit between two days (daily sensor) or month (monthly sensor)
