Could anyone please advise? I've recently gone onto Intelligent Octopus which gives 6 hours overnight cheap rate electricity. I was hoping that setting my battery to 100% and the charge from grid to take place between 11.30pm and 5.30am it would fully charge. However it only ever gets to around 80%, and looking at overnight grid use it really ramps down from around 3am, with little drawn until morning..
Battery not charging fully overnight
Unfortunately the same thing happened - charge from grid ramped down from 3a.m. Any more ideas please?
J1m do you have any external agents messing with your config? On the web portal, any cloud-based changes should get recorded in the log at the bottom of the remote-control page.
HA typically won't appear there, since tends to use local access to perform updates.
GE also seems to have some sort of smart tariff support you can enable. I don't know anything about those, though.
Thanks for the reply DD. I'm not sure where to find the remote control logs? As far as I know there are no cloud controls taking place. I do have HA, but currently have all automations disabled for winter. The Smart Tarrif setting looks interesting, nut I also have no idea where to find that!
Thanks for that. Yes I've found that now, but nothing undue in the logs..
What % soc is it at when the ramp down occurs?
Also, check your inverter remote control area for
AC charge Upper % limit
AC charge 1 Upper soc % limit
Depending on the firmware version of the inverter, one of these may be imposing a limit despite what you may have set in the app.
