Feature request - show VRM consumption by scheduled charge on the dashboard

With countries now offering demand based variable grid tariffs it would be useful to see ESS scheduled charging separately to other grid consumption on the consumption graphs

Hi @dmsims,

I might be misunderstanding what you're asking for here.

The consumption dashboard data only shows energy that flows to the loads, not to the batteries. So I don't think it will be a spot to put what you're asking for.

To see energy that is flowing from a particular source (like from the grid) you will need to use the grid pull down and then that will show both, and if it went to loads (direct consumption) or to the battery.

As for what triggered the flow (i.e low battery SOC, scheduled charge, manual "keep batteries charged mode", etc, that might be getting too advanced for the dashboard, and better somewhere else.
