The experience

Hello,

I have a solar power system on my roof and I want to increase my self-consumption. Right now, it’s only around 10%. For example, I want to use an electric heater in winter and a well pump in summer.

Specs:
The solar inverter has an API.
The current electricity usage can be read via an IR signal.
I want to use a Raspberry Pi with Home Assistant and Zigbee smart plugs.
All data should be stored locally.

Your ideas are welcome.
