How to set priority for devices?

[arnkit]

Hi,

I'm a happy user of solar optimizer - works great!

I was wondering if there is any way of setting a priority to devices. The main idea is, that devices are switched of according to their priority. For example
I have have a dehumidifier, and a electric floor heating - and I always want the dehumidifier to run first (priority 1), while other devices may be switched on if afterwards enough solar power is available. Same situation would apply to devices with the same amount of watts consumed.

Thanks

Hello,

This not possible out of the box, because the optimisation algo is searching the best combination of 'on'/'off' to minimise the "cost" function.

BUt, you could certainly do something with check_enable template, to disable the lower priority device if a higher priority is enabled and not active. This should work.
