Hello community of fellow Leaf owners!
There have been many similar and related questions asked, and I have searched and read them all, but none seem to quite match mine.
I'm afraid the answer is simply "this is impossible", but just in case anyone out there can think of something I can't, I figured I'd sign up here and ask before I give up.
It appears that many others with TOU electric plans, their utilities offer simpler plans than mine, and/or they have simple and consistent commute times.
Our utility offers different "peak" times on the weekend than during the week, as follows:
peak (or "partial" peak):
M-F: 7am - 11pm
Sa/Su: 3pm - 7pm
The fact that it is different on weekends, combined with the times spanning midnight, makes 2 timers insufficient to capture all off-peak hours with only two timers.
What I need is 4 timers:
1) Monday-Thursday, on at 11pm, off at 7am the following day
2) Friday, on at 11pm, off at 3pm the following day
3) Saturday, on at 7pm, off at 3pm the following day
4) Sunday, on at 7pm, off at 7am the following day
There doesn't seem to be anyway I can possibly avoid any peak hours without potentially missing out on large blocks of cheap power over the weekend. Neither of us has a consistent schedule, we may take the car to work one day, transit another day, on driving days come back anywhere from 2pm to 7pm, occasionally work weekends, or go out somewhere late on a Saturday arriving back after midnight, and then have errands mid-day Sunday.
I could potentially just manually manage weekend charging, but in addition to the lack of mindless convenience, we would also lose the ability to charge to 80% consistently.
Is there any possibly way, perhaps some more complex aftermarket app than LEAF Manager, or some way to alter the built-in software, to allow for a more complex program than two timers?
Thanks for any ideas
