Schedule to switch between Heat pump and alternate heat

[Saj119]

I have a dual fuel system with heat pump and gas furnace. Since this is California, depending upon the time of day, one of them will be cheaper than the other. This may vary from month to month as gas price goes up during winter. I want to create automation so as to switch the heat source from heat pump to gas (alternate heat) and back depending upon time of the day. For eg: I want to run heat pump till 2pm on a weekend, but switch to gas from 2pm onwards to avoid peak electricity pricing. Is this possible? If not, can nest add this feature?

I will start with the presumption that both heat pump and gas furnace are controlled by Google Home App. The automation you can make via google home web editor, in YAML . (https://home.google.com) . It should sound like that :

metadata:
  name: Scheduled Heating
  description: Switch between heat sources at specific times
automations:
  - starters:
      - type: time.schedule
        at: 1:00 PM 
    actions:
      - type: device.command.OnOff
        devices: Heat pump - Basement ( just and example, put your device name)
        on: true
  - starters:
      - type: time.schedule
        at: 1:05 PM
    actions:
      - type: device.command.OnOff
        devices: Heat pump - Basement
        on: false

 Thats a sample for heating pump. Do the same for gas furnace. 

on : true means start the pump

on : false means stop the pump
