Disable battery charging in the morning

I have my own WattRouter that optimizes my household Victron.jpgconsumption. I'd like to extend it with a feature that disables battery charging in the morning - pushing battery charging to a later time.

The goal is to sell PV power at higher prices at SPOT (7:00 - 10:00 AM) in the morning and then charge the battery at lower feed-in tariffs.

Everything else must be business as usual - especially the delivery of PV to the house.

If you use the ESS assistant you can use scheduled charging for that

How can I achieve that?
A link to the documentation or anything else would be useful... I'm really not wise to this answer and it didn't help me much :-(
