So, my Gen 3 Inverter a 2 x 9.5 batteries are still set-up how the installer left them. Today, I was moved to Octopus Flux; so far easy :-)
How should I set the system up now? I am assuming I have to change the Inverter's settings to Time Charge and put in 02:00 to 05:00 - but what about the "Charge to" setting?
Is there anything I need to do to put an overnight charge in the batteries or anyone got any helpful tips ?
Thanks
From simple to more complex below
GivEnergy can only do a single timed charge slot and has trouble going back to Eco if you do a forced export. I doubt you will want to do much peak export in the winter months though.
Take a look at Octo R&D it has a scheduler that you can programme multiple charge and discharge slots.
You will need to register and it normally takes a day or so to get all the menu available.

There is WonderWatt but I have never used it, so no comment.

Take a look at Home Automation and you can do pretty much anything you want and it is under your control on your network. No worry about servers down and flaky internet

Have a look here. I hope this can help when you are using Flux.
Obviously settings depends on your personal situation.

Thanks but I went to HA due to flaky servers and flaky internet (where i live). I can also run lots of funky dashboards
Ignore solar, I was messing around with breakers.
Thanks all. Set-up for a charge from 2:00 to 5:00 to 50% as it is sunny tomorrow. Will see how that works out (if it works!) and adjust if required.
