Do scheduled Agile export slots re-evaluate?

When a block of charge slots are processed, WW re-evaluates every 30 minutes.
Does it do the same for a block of export slots?
WW Activity log doesn't mention it.

johalareewi Does it need to though?

The conditions for charge are associated with the Agile charge window.

There are currently no conditions associated with the 'Agile export', and as such no retry is required?

What scenario did you have in mind?

Last night, I planned a sequence of charge and export slots for today. When I reviewed the procgress this morning, I had a block of exports and i wanted to switch one of them to a charge but the block was in progress. Where the export doesn't get re-evaluated, WW doesn't spot where an export (in the current block) has been either removed, or swapped for a charge.

johalareewi I see. But you were able to save the changes?

Which slots were those please? So we can dig into this a bit further.

Yes I've found this occasionally too. Plan a 3 hour export and once the first 30 minute slot is running WW will not make any changes to the other 5 slots. I have to do this manually (as I've just had to do through the GE app as I had a timeout on the WW charge command sent at 11.30am).

Yes, where there were a number of consequtive export slots, it is possible to change the future ones that are not greyed out. Same as you can with charge slots. I was playing around with a few slots around the midday mark, Trying to arrange a charge during the free electricity period rather than an export.

Just come across another situation where export slot re-evaluation would be great.
if there is a comms failure setting the export slot and is is a contiguous export block, it would be handy if WW tried again in 30 minutes.

johalareewi Good point, should be easy enough to add, can use same mechanics as agile charge slots.

So tonight I had an export block set from 20:00 to 22:30 and WW fired of the command.
Later I noticed that the export was going better than planned and would finish around 22:00 so I changed the agile schedule to remove the 21:30-22:00 export slot and do a charge instead leaving the 22:00-22:30 export in place.

Because the export block was already active, I wasn't expecting this to actually work but at 21:30, the export stopped and charging started 😮

Not sure if any mods have been done but Yay.
