Remote Control - Delete Setting

Hi all

Using the GivEnergy web site I selected inverter and remote control. It was my intention to set the battery charge setting, just before the peak tariff period, to charge the battery if it was below 30%

Two things, which I would like advice on

  1. Even if the battery is well over 30% the battery feed to the house is switched off and power is taken from the grid. Is there a way to set it up so that if the battery is charged it is still used to feed the house?
  2. I cannot see any way of deleting the setting, or, disabling it. Can this be done?

Thanks
Terry

Interestingly, this is the exact opposite of the behaviour reported in another thread:

CazT I can see that if I set a timed charge to 40% but the battery SoC is >40% at the start of the charging period then it continues to discharge to meet demand until such time at the battery is at 40%. So last night I scheduled 10kWh to go to my car from 00:30 - 2:30 and a timed battery charge to 40% for the whole of the cheap rate period. My starting battery SoC was 58% and I can see it contributed 18% of it's charge to the home demand and then kept state at 40% for the rest of the charging period - perfect!

Setting both times to 00:00 disables an entry I think.

In practice, setting the start time to the end time has the same effect.
For anyone automating via scripts, it is one less API call to make (unless I'm deluding myself)!
