v1.0.0

AIO Energy Management release v1.0.0: The Excess Solar feature! ☀️

This is a major milestone for the AIO Energy Management integration! Version 1.0.0 brings the highly anticipated Excess Solar feature, allowing you to automatically route your surplus solar energy to devices like water heaters, floor heating, or EVs based on smart priority logic.

To learn more about how to set up and optimize this feature, check out my blog post: Maximize Solar Self-Consumption with Home Assistant and AIO Energy Management 1.0.0.

If you find this integration useful and it's helping you save on your energy bills, consider buying me a coffee to support future development! ☕️

🚀 What's New

Excess Solar Core Feature: Automatically control devices based on grid export data to maximize solar self-consumption.

• Smart Priority Swapping: The integration can now dynamically swap devices from a lower priority to a higher priority when enough solar surplus becomes available.

• Dynamic Entities: Added an Excess Solar Priority dynamic number entity, allowing you to adjust device priority on the fly without reconfiguring.

• Excess Solar Enable switch to easily toggle solar control for individual devices.

• Master switch to enable/disable the self-use feature

• Granular Consumption Tracking: Separated "real consumption" and "expected consumption" values for more accurate power routing.

🛠️ Enhancements & Tweaks

Python 3.13 Support: Ensured compatibility with Python 3.13.
