This automation is related to an airco start and stop based on energy production and consumption. If the production is higher then consumption by 1.8 kw for 5 minutes then the airco is started. If production drops more the consumption for 5 minutes then airco will be turned off.
I need to use the same logic for my new flow but instead of 1 airco to have 3 aircos in there. If production is higher then consumption by 1.8 kw for 5 minutes then start airco1. If production is still higher then consumption after 5 minutes by 1.8 kw more then start airco2.
If production is still higher then consumption after another 5 minutes by 1.8 kw then start airco3.
I would need the same logic to be applied on turning off. Basically if consumption is higher then production for 5 minutes by 1.8 kw then stop airco1. If after another 5 minutes the consumption is higher then production by 1.8 kw then stop airco2. If after another 5 minutes the consumption is higher then production by 1.8 kw then stop airco3.
Also the state of the airco should be checked before sending any commands to it. If the airco is already turned on, then there is no more need to send the command again. If the airco is already turned off, then there is no more need to send the configuration again
I managed to get it working properly for a single airco but I have no idea how I can make this happen for 3 aircos.
Any help or idea is greatly appreciated
