Hi All - just wondering if anyone can give feed back on why Battery Charge / Discharge settings keep changing without my doing so - my Battery fully discharged to grid overnight when the only setting change was to charge to 100% overnight becuase the Agile Tariff with octopus made it worth while for a poor solar charging day that followed.

The only recent change I have made is to link the smart tariff.

Also worth a mention, that there were no notifications regarding recalibration etc.

Any help / advice is appreciated!

I think I have the same issue too. My setting is charge from solar and dynamic discharge, but it keeps switching to charge from grid and schedule discharge by itself. It is quite annoying that it happens randomly too. I'm on agile plan too, I don't know if this is a common issue.

If you've added a smart tariff, you might have accidentally turned on automations on that smart tariff card too. Switch that off if you want to do things manually or via a different method (octopus r&d, home assistant etc etc).

Lis10 turns out it may be as simple as differing meanings between settings on the desktop app and mobile app.

Tested the battery discharge schedule on the phone - this almost immediately discharged to gride.

Whilst the battery discharge online is to home only. No idea why this was the case, but leaving the settings as they are now to see if it does it again.
