Today the battery has remained at 100% and has not been feeding the home. Battery flow arrows all correct no fault lights.
Any ideas?

Is Eco mode on for your inverter? Any entries in the remote control log that suggest a third party is controlling your router - this could be your supplier, GivBack or the GivEnergy Smart Tariff card.
pwdst short answer yes.
I am using MyEnergyOptimser that was working and no log errors. As far as I know the Givenergy mode should be overwritten.
I can initiate a discharge to grid but not to home.
Not using the Givenergy smart options

you'll need to look at the remote control log in the givenergy portal and see what settings MyEO has changed. For whatever reason it must have changed something incorrectly.
Check the discharge rate is set to the maximum, that battery pause mode isn't set, Eco mode is on, battery reserve is set to 4%, battery cutoff limit also 4%
For each in the givenergy portal, click the little wheel next to the setting to force a download of the value from the inverter to the portal
And speak to MyEO support since they are controlling your inverter
geoffreycoan , done all that, apart from the GE log but:
Yesterday, all day, the battery did not feed Home though I was able to force discharge to Grid.
Today, the battery fed Home, continued to do so until the pre-dawn boost when it was topped up from grid. Since then it has worked as before.
I have contacted MyEo. I have my suspicions and suspect gremlins.
pwdst the the ECO had been off though i had not changed it. AOK now.
Thanks

Eco off would do it
In the remote control log you should be able to see what and when Eco mode was changed. Its possible MyEO sent a command to change it but the command to change it back wasn't received by the GivEnergy portal. If so, I'd suggest MyEO needs to have better error and retry handling
but glad to hear you found and fixed it
I think this points up the need to monitor your system closely. Increasingly we rely on automation and assume (hope) that it works all the time.
Case in point, water this time. My daughter's home is being rented out. It is about 50 years old and previously 'improved' by the builder who built it. The rising main burst under the kitchen floor and the water drained unseen.
Fortunately the occupiers for some reason monitored the water meter regularly and reported the sudden change in consumption.
Don't rely on any system to run perfectly.
