Solar system for use as an emergency power supply with automatic switching to mains power in case of lack of solar power with display on an E-Ink display via MQQT.

The goal of this facility was to ask; what happens in the event of a power outage.
Which electrical devices in the house are the most critical here and should continue to function in this case. At least for some time.
In my case, this would be the freezers and the oil heating. A continued functioning of the solar circulation pump would also be beneficial.
What good are hundreds of liters of heating oil in the tank if the house remains cold because of the 200W that the oil burner needs.
On television, computer and also the short-time cooking on an electric stove should be able to be renounced to the emergency.
In addition, this system should monitor the battery capacity and in case the sun does not shine enough automatically switch to house power.
And since I am a Tasmota and ESP fan, the whole thing should be additionally monitored via E-Ink display and MQQT via my IoBroker.

I don't take any responsibility nor liability for using this software nor for the installation or any tips, advice, videos, etc. given by any member of this site or any related site.
Attention this plant is in the making and not yet tested. In particular, the behavior in summer months and the interaction with the batteries has not yet been tested by me extensively tested in practice.
