Interestingly Amber's VPP is coming to the UK in the form of E-on Next's Solar Max (pilot) tariff. It looks somewhat like a hybrid of Intelligent Flux and Agile. It would normally control the inverter, but you can override it whenever you like (so either run predbat in read-only mode, or perhaps let predbat take control at times). Perhaps could also be another source of wholesale prices even if you are not on the tariff. So I wonder if we'll get a somewhat similar data source to work from. I'd guess half hourly rather than every 5 minutes, and from what I understand from the Solar Max Ts&Cs, the prices can continually evolve through the day, until the actual start of the half-hour slot. https://www.eonnext.com/tariffs/next-solar-max |

I have the following entities available in Home assistant from Amber Electric, how can these be integrated into predbat? I's really like to be using the forecast, for example. Even if I can patch them so that they appear like the already working Octopus integration maybe?
