I am on Octopus flux but when ever I send a charge to the grid, usually for an hour or so. The battery goes into idle mode afterwards, even if it still has a good level of charge i.e 30% +. It will come back to life if I disable the export and select eco mode. But surely this should be able to be done automatically ?? I just cant work out how, so advice needed please

m-bebbington I'm guessing you're using timed export ? Use timed discharge instead. Yes, I know the docs suggest they're for something different, but they're completely wrong. Timed Discharge is the variant of Timed Export that goes back to Eco mode at the end of the interval.

DD Thanks, that seems to worked, just done a quick 2 minute discahrge and the battery has come back to life afterwards. Much appreciated
