Hi everyone, I’m struggling to get the ‘Stand Alone Battery - Hold Until Peak Time’ Smart Tariff automation to work on my system. While other automations like ‘Stand Alone Battery - Eco Mode’, ‘Solar and Battery’, and the export automations are working perfectly, this one just won’t cooperate.

My goal is for the batteries to hold their charge until around 16:00, when the Agile Tariff increases, and then switch to Eco Mode to avoid using electricity at the higher rate. However, I haven’t been able to achieve this setup successfully.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or managed to get this specific automation working? Any tips or guidance would be much appreciated!”

I don't know if that's going to help with your smart tariff which doesn't go what you ask it to, but if you want to do it manually, then you can do as follows:
Enable a charging schedule from any time you want until 16:00, and set target charge % to some low value for example 20%. That will cause the battery not to discharge into home and hold the charge exactly as it were, until 16:00.
