Implement Hold Charging service.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes it is. I have the last half year try to get kostal inverter to work properly with Predbat, but i have one problem. It is to Get the Hold charging to work correct. The reason is predbat turn on charging start service when want to hold charge, this is not a good solution to kostal. Now i trig automation with charging start service and look at predbat status to determine about inverter has to charge battery or Hold charge. And when predbat some times change from charge to hold charge it is not so easy to get automation to change from charge to hold charge beecause chargestart service still stay on in the change, now i try to trig this change on predbat reserve change value.
Describe the solution you'd like A good solution will be to get a Hold charge service, so it will be alot easy to get inverter to done it right. So not the charge service is used to two different thing. Maybe you can make a button in inverter setup to to activate this function, if people need this to a custom inverter setup like mine.
Hold charge is simply when the battery has reached the charge level, so it will still call the charge start service with the target soc.
If you use this for an automation can you compare the SOC level.
Did you want charge_hold_service?
It will be a good option, when people try to implement new inverters this will be a more easy. But i have found a solution that works now. Now i still need to look at Predbat status, but this status can also show error and this can stop the automation.
i now use this automation to get kostal working correct.
