I'm sure it never used to do this. I switched to the addon from AppDaemon recently, so maybe I messed up the config when copying it over. What settings do I need to check to prevent the battery discharging during car charging slots?
I've got "Octopus Intelligent Charging" on and "Allow car to charge from battery" off.

What else do I need to check?

I've set this up to charge tonight, I can see the slots in the log file, but the plan is still discharging at those times.

Are the right sensors set in the config file?

Mine never allows that battery to discharge when a charge is planned, always plans nicely around it.

JasonF Mine never used to. As it shows in the logs that it's detecting the slots, I assume the correct sensors are set.
