Limiting the time when the PV excess automation is in effect

It would be convenient to be able to set the time of day when the PV excess automation is enabled, and when it's disabled.
TLDR:
Hi, I have been testing this for a few days/nights. My system does not have a battery, and I need to run the appliances (heating, car charging) also during the night when I have no excess PV power. My other timers and file_pv_excess_control_on_time ended up switching stuff on and off competitively during the night because the PV power is zero. I tried fixing it by adding manually to the automations a time condition, but adding that condition stopped the repetitive running of file_pv_excess_control_on_time.
Hi there,
this is actually already possible very easily:
You can set up a simple automation which switches the PV excess automations on or off depending on the time. When the PV excess automation of a specific appliance gets disabled, it will be excluded from the PV excess optimization.
