I would like to control my deferred loads with BillBuster. I would define my load by max power, daily consumption, min time between cycles, and the minimum time it should be switched on in a cycle.
You should publish the results of optimisation in a single HA variable, one for each load, like a sensor. deferred.mySensorName, content should be expected power in the moment. I will make my own automations based on this variable to control my loads further.

An indicator to show real savings in number and graph
The system is making savings by using the battery; this cycle has some losses. Can you make an indicator that would take all the losses into account? One way to do this is to compare the energy going to loads (UPS, AUX, …) to the energy coming from the grid (minus the solar). This should be multiplied by appropriate prices and displayed in graphs (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) and in numbers.
