# I'm on Octopus Intelligent which means I get 6 hours at the cheap rate guaranteed 
# - 23:30 -05:30. But I also sometimes get the cheap rate outside of those times. 
# This is decided by Octopus when I plug my car in. So I needed to be able to detect 
# this and stop my house batteries discharging in to the car. To achieve this I leave 
# charge times for slot 1 set to my guaranteed off peak times, and manipulate slot 2 
# when their are extras. I do this in quite a basic way. There is an Octopus Intelligent
# HA integration which has a switch that reflects if your account is currently benefitting
# from the cheap rate. I use this to trigger a script that sets the 'charge 2' slot to 
# 05:31-23:29 if the current time is outside of the usual cheap window. Effectively 
# forcing it to charge.
