Hi There.
I am on Octopus Flux and I want to only discharge the battery after the 4pm expensive rate starts. I have changed the discharge times to 4pm to Midnight but the battery continues to discharge outside of those times. What am I doing wrong?
The timed charge on the cheap rate during the night is working fine.
Thanks
Search the forum.
There is a known problem that Eco does not kick back in after timed export or timed discharge.
Need to go to Octopus R&D scheduler (though that stopped working for me), WonderWatt (never tried it) or Home Assistant (where I ended up. My server on my network so now worries about signals not getting sent or internet problems)
Use the portal. In Inverters -> Settings
In Inverter -> Remote Control checked that the discharge rate is se to maximum or whatever power you require.
This works for an All in One, can't vouch for other inverters.

Hi
Does not work on my Gen1 Hy5.0. The discharge works, but Eco does not kick back in.
It used to work for me on Octo R&D scheduler on battery 3012 but stopped when I went to 3013.
There were also times when R&D was not sending the signal to GE, or GE not receiving it etc, so I went to HA
SteveCook I know that if you do a Timed Export (on the portal) then it will not revert to Eco mode (in the AIO), but a Timed Discharge (on the portal) does work.
Seems odd that it is different on a Gen 1 system, but if it is, it is.
Pandorian I think timed demand mode is the workaround for Gen1, instead of timed discharge. But probably only available via GivTCP?
