App changes for utility demand customers

[DanAman]

The powerwall app could use some improvement for users with utility demand plans. I wanted to get some ideas from other users in order to send a feature request to tesla.

Of the existing modes, self-consumption responds the fastest to changes in demand changes. I would like to see a scheduled self-consumption mode. With the following features.

• define a default reserve percent
• Schedule a new reserve
  • set starting month and day
  • set ending month and day
  • set starting time
  • set ending time
  • set reserve percent
• Start and end times are adjustable in one minute increments

My reasoning is that this will allow for flexible scheduling. Some utilities have multiple demand periods in a single day and the schedule changes depending on the time of the year. This would also allow for hands off changes. During the winter when production is lower, the battery could be maximized to devote itself to covering the demand period and backup. This is especially useful for those with 1:1 net metering.
