Battery Seller - Review request and "how I can share it"?

Hello
So I wanted to create a Card / UI functionality, where I could sell power from my battery in X amount of time.
So I’ve created 3 Automations, 1 Script, 2 Helpers, to do this like this:
The overview:

code:
Card code

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: input_number.time_slider_sell
    name: Choose sell time
  - entity: script.start_sell_solar_cd_2
    name: Start battery selling
  - entity: timer.sell_solar_cd
    name: Selling time left
show_header_toggle: false
title: Battery seller

Script:

alias: Start Sell Solar Countdown
sequence:
  - data:
      entity_id: timer.sell_solar_cd
      duration: "{{ (states('input_number.time_slider_sell') | float * 60 * 60) | int }} "
    action: timer.start
  - action: notify.mobile_app_oneplus12anders
    data:
      message: >-
        Sell Solar Countdown started for {{
        states('input_number.time_slider_sell')}} hours.

timer (just made in configuration.yaml)

# for the solar
timer:
  sell_solar_cd:
    duration: "00:00:00"
  • a input_number (can’t find the yaml file or a like for that anywhere):

Now since I have this.
And my setup is made by a friend, I’d love that he could give this “component” to all his friends/clients, so they could easily sell aswell. But how do I make a blueprint or component or whatever that has all of this code?
I tried putting everything in 1 yaml file, but that made me have multiple “scripts” tags where only 1 is allowed… I’m kinda puzzled here.

Why would you sell battery power for x time? To who? What is the use case?

Hello Kruse, Thanks for replying, that is not really my question though.
But when i evaluate that i have enough power to last past high prices i some times want to sell.

Anything to add about how i do it or how i can share it?

Now I understand, I wish I had a setup to create power I could sell back!

In any event, the way to share it is to put the code and functionality into a Home Assistant blueprint. It looks like you’ll be reading up on how to create blueprints!

I have used a few but have not created any myself… I would suggest if it would be easier for you, to have your friend who wrote the code to help you or create the blueprint too

I wrote the code, he is just the hardware + find integration specialist :wink:
I just havn’t seen any way to incorporate scripts in blueprints, but I’ll have another look at them.
Thanks.
I’m really surprised at the low amount of feedback in here, have I written in the wrong category maybe?

Thjis forum is very active, I just find that the Categories and Tags seem pretty weak. It appears you got the most attention if you supply an intriguing or popular title for your post. (Don’t be misleading though, it will piss people off!) I have also found that posting a question that is overly complicated will turn people off, nobody wants to spend a long time trying to understand and answer someone else…
