Early hours this morning my battery did an unscheduled discharge to grid then carried out scheduled charging.
However, since the discharge to grid it wont discharge to the house.
I have restarted the inverter through web portal, no change.
I have tried the quick action buttons and they work to charge and discharge but not for normal operation.
Solar is going to grid, not battery.
I use MyEo, they cant see any issues at their end.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Ian

what do inverter logs on portal show
what tariff are you on
what kit do you have
Are all breakers in the "on" position

Think it means waiting.
Lots of lines like this:

Are they GivEnergy portal inverter history logs?
Mine look like this

This is the log when it stopped reacting correctly.

I know nothing about MyEo, but it looks like it sent a command "STOP/LIMIT DISCHARGE v2.1.2" that was written successfully to the inverter

SteveCook that's just a comment - the change was to set discharge power to 0, which indeed (mostly) prevent discharge to cover consumption.

Sorry, but I have no idea what MyEo does

looks like I found the problem.
I think it was a software glitch, I updated the firmware and all appears well now
