Target Rate Sensor with price range

beginner2047 opened this issue · comments

Describe the feature

Currently, the target rate sensor only search the minimum price but no limitation for the price. If the minimum price is 12p, it will also returnes. Can we add the maximum and or minimum for the price? So we don't need to create additional condition for automation.

As the return total hours (e.g 2 hours) may less than required hours (3 hours), an option should be provided to select return 0 (not meet required hours) or return as many as possible (2 hours).

Expected behaviour

user can define the price range in target rate. So the sensor will be on during that target rate period

Use Case

EV charger, we would like to define how many kwh is required based on unit rate. Cheaper unit rate charger more. For high unit rate, we may skip the charge times.
