I want to charge midnight to 6am Tuesday, then I want to charge if plugged in between 8am and 3pm on any day of the week to take advantage of my solar. Is there a way to do this through the BYD app?
No
You can set a charging schedule in the car. Not sure about the app.
you can set the charging schedule in the app as well.
Yes, but you can't charge at different times on different days, which I want to.
You'll need to remove the scheduled charge in app. Note though you will need to stop the charge manually at 3pm.
I use a 16A smart plug running esphome and my home runs home assistant. It will enable the plug when there is sufficient solar and will turn it off if there is a consistent lack of solar. What you don't want is for it to flap on and off. When the car negotiates the charge once the charger is on it then has a relay to connect the actual power through and this can wear out. For this reason I will only turn off the plug if there is 20 minutes solid of insufficient solar and have some logic around how likely it will turn back on again.
