Agile/Growatt Export did not get disabled

Seems if you have an active export schedule, and just disable the schedule using the that tasks slider, it doesn't cancel the export job on the Growatt invert?

At least that was my experience. I had an active export schedule which ran early yesterday morning. I disabled it using the slider during the day yesterday, but it ran again this morning. Checking on the Growatt portal, the invert control still had the export slot enabled.

Shouldn't WonderWatt send a clear scheduled task command to the inverter when a task is deactivated (or at least have notification it won't do this)?

felmer Notification or some information to say this might make sense. The issue is that people may well have other control systems including their own manual slot setup and don't expect this to be disabled.

Only scheduled instructions and pause/unpause write directly to the inverter. Changing settings on schedules including enabling or disabling should not.

Yes, understood that some people, including myself will mix 'n' match WW control with their own control. For example I have access to Growatt API and have built my own simple web monitoring and management portal that I can set export schedules if I want.

Notification or some information to say this might make sense.
Yes, it would be good to have a note or popup message when disabling a schedule, or all schedules that it won't delete any schedules already sent to the inverter system.

I am beta testing the GIVBak experiment to use peoples batteries as part of the grid, being paid for export using the scheme. However, it went wrong and didn't put the inverter back to what it was before the export began, so I woke up to a battery that is only held only 30% charge. Not a biggy in summer, worse in winter if they can't get it right.

Thought, how do they know the battery is on another export cycle from WW, does WW alter the export times in the Giv-enery cloud so they can see it?

Gazzagreen We do suffix our API calls with "Wonder Watt" in the log. Deliberately, so people can distinguish which instructions we send.

If we removed that, they would not know.

OK. lets hope they sort the problem out.
