This selector helper entity can be used to query which custom mode the Powerwall is currently set to, but also, changing it triggers the automation.powerwall_custom_mode_selector_control automation, which calls the script corresponding to the selected mode.

| Battery Custom modes | Displays or selects the custom mode of operation, as determined by the mode scripts | input_select.powerwall_battery_custom_modes |
automation.powerwall_custom_mode_selector_control |
Energy providers will often provide time-dependent tariffs, usually in the shape of two time periods where one is higher demand so more expensive and the other is lower demand so cheaper. In other cases, providers will bill dynamically throughout the day, in half-hour periods, depending on many factors that influence the cost and carbon impact of buying, selling and supplying energy on the network.
Therefore, manually set schedules are required for automations, which is my case. Your automations may require other inputs for taking decisions.
