Agile charge / hold option

MikeC

At the moment agile slots outside a charge window can be selected to be charge slots or nothing; agile slots within a charge window ( with hold setting set) can be either charge slots or hold slots; the way agile pricing is at the moment it would be good to be able to "step through " all 3 options whether within a charge window or not, ie off / charge/ hold.

MikeC I think this has come up before and is somewhere on the wishlist. We got Agile export slots so maybe agile hold slots will be along too.

Yes I raised it about 12 months ago .... I just thought that as admin were addressing another long standing wishlist item I'd bring it back to the top of the pile in the hope they would look at this particularly whilst agile prices are as they are. 🤞😃

Tonight is an example of when it would be useful to be able to toggle through agile slots - the 00:30 slot at 20.14p is more than 20% higher than the slots I will be charging at so I would like to be able to use the battery power; the only way to do this at the moment would be to start changing charge windows so that the 00:30 slot is outside a charge window.

MikeC Ah, thanks for the illustration, yes, that makes sense.

We'll have a look at how to best implement this.

I've suggested before that it would be useful if we could select a value and a hold would be set if it falls below that value. Like we can set a 'value below' to auto select for a charge.

MikeC

I'm not looking for anything complicated, just simply the ability to tap any agile slot, whether within a charge window or not and be able to choose any of the 3 options of off (ie in eco mode and drawing from the battery), charge or hold.
The variable options re SOC etc could be done from within a charge window if that's what you require.

MikeC When I was on Agile, I suggested this a few times also. I am no longer on Agile, but I agree that the 3 modes of operation would be the most flexible for the outcome one wants to achieve. If I can find it, I will post the link

Don't forget export.

This is one that just won't go away, will it @admin whoohhahhhahh

KristianS Yeah. It will need a bit of an overhaul to the way we're doing the agile schedules, but we'll be working on that.

johalareewi Yes, definitely do not forget Export
