Every day, my Inverter keeps changing the auto charge battery time by itself.

As far I can recall, this started to happen after updating my inverter and battery to the latest firmware.

My inverter keeps changing the charge schedule from 04:00 - 07:00 which is what I need for the cosy nighttime charge, to 14:00 - 16:00. Every day I change it back to the cosy hours, it works correcting during the night, but the next evening when I check, its back to the wrong times again?

I have disconnected all third party apps that were connected to my inverter, Wonderapp, Givback and such but it still does it.

Any thoughts to correct this annoyance?

Tariff card? Click stop automations button?

I assume it's doing it as cozy has two cheap periods a day? Maybe it'd change it to nighttime again later on / on the early hours?

You say you've disconnected the apps - have you revoked the API keys which ought to give certainty.
Is there anything in the activity log in the 'remote control" bit of the inverter section on the portal?

I'm not sure what this means? I have looked on computer dash and on App and can't see stop automation button?
Please go a little further.

Yes I have revoked the API Keys for everything except the Octopus one, which i don't think changes any settings.

GazzaGreen there is a search facility on here. It is a common question so if you search for tariff automation you should find what you need.

I have a feeling it was the givbak api that did it. I am waiting to see what happens this evening.

GazzaGreen yeah that might be it. There was a saving session last night, so quite likely they would change the settings. They change them back later on, I vaguely recall something like 7pm they change them back.

How do you know what you earned with givbak, i can't find any reference anywhere?

My inverter is back to normal now. There's nothing but Octopus connected to it and I plan to stay this way for a time.

I just use a timer on my phone to remind me to charge the battery on cosy 1pm-4pm tariff, but the night time one is automated.
