My battery will no longer charge at scheduled times. This means it drains at night rather than charging at cheap rate. No matter how often I enable the timed charge setting it always disables itself regardless of whether I use the internet on my laptop or the app on my phone. Does anyone else have this issue and is there a workaround for it?

htohe are you using GE smart scheduling (premium feature). Several reports imply it's not currently reliable, and better to turn it off. (Do you have a tariff complex enough to need smart scheduling?)

Check you’ve got:

  • [ ] ECO: ON
  • [ ] AC Charge Enable: ON

Many thanks for the advice. I do have ECO on. I can not find an AC Charge Enable, but I did try enabling Timed Discharge for the times not covered by the Timed Charge function and that worked for one night, but not the following one (ie last night). Both settings were disabled this morning. I re-enabled them and they were disabled again about 20 minutes later.
I am doing this through laptop rather than mobile app.

How do I turn off Smart Scheduling? and if I do, will I still have any control of the system?

Thanks again

There's a 'smart scheduler' slider at the bottom of the app which turns it on. Note that you need to check it with the 'connect via cloud servers' slider at the top both on and off.

You'll have more control over your system with this turned off, since it won't be trying to impose its own settings.

Many thanks for this info - it has given me a lightbulb moment!. I have been using the web interface on my laptop rather than the mobile app, but having looked at the app in the light of your advice it is now all beginning to make some sense.

I have just switched off the smart scheduler and manually set the charging slots. Hopefully all will work well from here on in.

THanks again
