Hi,
Fairly new to Solar and GivEnergy. Set up a timed export instruction in the app which now wish to discontinue as I’ve moved to Intelligent Octopus Flux but whenever I cancel and save changes, the app returns a “successfully saved” message but the instructions just pops back next time app is opened. I’ve also tried to reset to default but this has same (non-existent) effect. Any ideas are

I wouldn't worry. IOF will overwrite the timed charge and discharge settings. They do it all the time, it's how they control the inverter, along with other settings like discharge rate, percentage to charge to etc.

TX200 Thanks, that’s what I’d hoped but today it just kicked in and started discharging anyway.
Wondered if I should try amending the instruction and making it discharge to 100%? (effectively negating the instruction)

[unknown] there's a new video on the GivEnergy YouTube channel talking about seeing what third parties are doing to your inverter. Might be worth a view

I am on OIF they will often discharge at odd times, eg 5am or 8.30 am which I was told was to balance odd peak demands. As long as it's fully charged so I can discharge at peak rates they can charge and discharge as they want - remember import and export rates are the same, I accept there's some loss with ins and outs.
