support force discharging

[rickroetenberg]

Support for force discharging as well. When investigating a dynamic energy contract can be sufficient if we can force to use the battery when the prices are high

Good idea, I'll try to include this in the next release

This is now available in the latest release although the money saved sensor will not be correct for this application and needs more work. Currently the battery_sim doesn't monitor export tariff at all so this needs some work.

Any idea on when the export tariff would be fixed for this? I'm using the integration to simulate a battery charging an discharging on dynamic tariffs. Also, can you include a manual mode? This way the battery doesn't discharge automatically when using power from the grid, but only when I want it to discharge (when prices are high).

I've pushed it out today. I was trying to work on improving the config flow as it now has a lot of steps. Let me know if it works for you. I don't have these sort of tariffs so I've only tested it with simulated test data. Many thanks.
