HE Ecobee Integration and Node-RED

Hi - wondering if anyone is using Node-RED to control Ecobee thermostats? All of my automation logic is in Node-RED and what I would like to do is manage the set points based on solar generation data (which is also in Node-RED). Basically what I want to do is if my batteries are 100% charged and the system is exporting to the grid, lower the cooling set point and then turn it back to the previous setting when the battery goes to say 75%.

Hoping I can get some suggestions on how I can do this. I know HE rules can manage the devices but HE has no visibility to my solar data and I also have no rules in HE!

Thanks for your help.

I'm using Ecobee in Node-RED. I'm just using Hubitat device and command nodes to control the thermostat. In this case I'm using Node-RED to turn off my heating or cooling if any doors or windows are left open. Happy to share my flow if you think that'll be of any use.

Thanks - let me experiment a bit now that I know it's possible. I already have it set up on my backup hub but haven't exposed the devices to NR or tried to see what it will let me do.
