how to force the ESS to charge the battery from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m ?

Hello everyone, as I am waiting for the Dynamic ESS release, I would like to optimize the use of my ESS (MultiPlus II-48/3000 + 2 PylonTech US5000 batteries + 3 kWp PV-AC + 1.5 kWp PV-DC) for self-consumption ( no resale to grid provider). I am therefore trying to know how to configure the ESS, to CHARGE the battery to 100% in the reduced rate hours : how to FORCE the battery to be charged between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.? THANKS

You can use an ESS schedule and set the required SOC to 100%.

Alternatively, you can use node red and create a flow that switches the mode to "keep charged" at a specific time and changes it back at 100% SOC or at a fixed time.
