Energy Control Pro provides a switch entity to enable or disable the optimization runtime system.

​
Optimization Switch

​
switch.energy_control_pro_optimization
switch
Global switch to enable or disable optimization functionality.This switch controls whether Energy Control Pro actively manages connected loads based on available solar surplus. When enabled, the system monitors power flows and automatically turns loads on/off according to the selected strategy. When disabled, no optimization actions are performed.

​
Services

The switch supports standard Home Assistant switch services:

​
Turn On

Enables the optimization engine. 
service: switch.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: switch.energy_control_pro_optimization

​
Turn Off

Disables the optimization engine. 
service: switch.turn_off
target:
  entity_id: switch.energy_control_pro_optimization

​
Toggle

Toggles the optimization state. 
service: switch.toggle
target:
  entity_id: switch.energy_control_pro_optimization

​
Implementation Details

​
Coordinator Method (On)
method
async_set_optimization_enabled(True) - Called when turning on
​
Coordinator Method (Off)
method
async_set_optimization_enabled(False) - Called when turning off
​
State Source
data_key
The switch state is read from coordinator data key optimization_enabled

​
Usage Example

​
Automation to Enable During Peak Solar Hours

automation:
  - alias: "Enable optimization during solar hours"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        at: "09:00:00"
    action:
      - service: switch.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: switch.energy_control_pro_optimization

  - alias: "Disable optimization at night"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        at: "20:00:00"
    action:
      - service: switch.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id: switch.energy_control_pro_optimization
