Hi , I finally got my PV inverter battery and electricity supplier all talking to one another (only taken 2 years). I have selected Eco setting on the Dashboard so that the House gets preference over any electricity generated or stored. But each day, the Eco setting has switched to a Timed export, and i have to reselect Eco. What do i have to do to get it to stay in Eco?

PL do you have any external agents configured (wonderwatt, ge smart tariffs), or home assistant ? If you check the activity log at the bottom of the remote-control page on the portal, does it show any unexpected changes via the api ?

What did you expect to happen when you "got yourPV inverter battery and electricity supplier all talking to one another"?

If you're using Octopus Intelligent Flux for instance, you've given control of your battery to Octopus.

We had the same issue; resolved by changing from Octopus Intelligent Flux to Octopus Flux import and export. Eco is now working fine, though I might review this in the autumn.
