I have used Octopus R&D in order to set a timed discharge down to a set SOC limit. It worked fine but the battery seemed to revert to idle afterwards. I've read on another post that it's possible to reset ECO mode as a separate action. I can't see how to do this. Can anyone help?

Do you need to have a separate account for Octopus R&D labs or can you use existing customer account?

Ubarrow Whenever I have set a timed charge in R&D Labs Smart Octopus it has automatically reverted to Eco mode. However, if the R&D Labs cannot connect to inverter when it is trying to reset it may then remain in idle.

I had many an occasion where ECO was left off. So many times, I have abandoned Agile control using R&D.

I now use HA and a custom Agile charge control feature

Ra Octopus say it is the same account to login but the R&D login page says not valid when I try this.

TheDragon (GivEnergy) I do have a HA. But I'm not technical and have issues getting it to work. Are you so kind to share your HA code. I read and tried to replicate the Solar Charge percentage overnight using Solcast. Saw a YouTube video but it's not working either. As said any help on HA would be great. Happy to share my email if that's easier for you.

Many thanks in advance.
