I've noticed my battery is being charged at 1:30 am for an hour and again at 6:30 for two hours
I have not set this
Yesterday I set all the charge time to 0:00 and zero % saved then disabled and saved again
This morning the battery was charged again see bellow
On the inverter tab slot 1 was 08:30 08:30 0%

There appear to be gaps in my log

I was plying with the API a couple weeks ago to get generation history but I removed that key
I've also changed the password

How is happening and how do stop it?

SolarNewbee Have you configured smart tariff support? (I've never used it myself, but might be the sort of thing it could do.)

Thanks I spotted that last night and disabled it.
At the same time I set the battery to charge overnight during cheap rate today I looked and some how the battery started to charge at 22:30 so by the time the cheap rate started the battery had charged.
No I hadn't entered the wrong values.
Going too have contact support top try and figure out what's going on

I am also having a strange issue with battery charging, I have my inverter set for the Octopus Go charge times 23.30 thru to 5.30 the only thing I vary is the amount of charge, I never change the times but recently I have been finding each morning the times have been changed to 5.30 thru to 5.30 =Zero charge? It is not me that is making this change so it must be something in the settings of the new tariff card I. am assuming.

Are/were you on some sort of Intelligent tariff that has taken control. If you have revoked it, are you sure any old external controls have been disabled?

Have a look in the web portal
My Inverter on LHS
Remote Control top RHS
Scroll down and look at the remote control history and see if you can see the changes and where they are coming from
