Timed Discharge no longer works for Givenergy AC3.0 on 535 Firmware

Latest Release v0.4.714 2024-08-28 has broken automated discharge on AC3.0 on 535 Firmware

The following feature stops the automated discharge:
Don't turn off Eco mode when exporting for Giv inverters
This Givenergy FW does not allow the battery to discharge whilst in Eco mode. I believe this is fixed in subsequent FW
versions as it is a known issue. This is the main reason I use Wonderwatt as the "native" Givenergy app doesn't disable ECO mode on forced discharge/export. Wonderwatt worked perfectly until this release. Now the forced discharge doesn't work as ECO mode is no longer enabled by the Wonderwatt automation. Interestingly the automation still enables ECO mode at the end of the discharge period.

Is there a good reason for changing this fuctionality?

Same for me last two days with an AC3.0 (aggressive-pension)

Mike @saxonm - apologies, this is being addressed now. Fix available in the next hour.

Fixed as per Release 716.

Lesson learnt, with so many different inverter gen and FW combos, we're not changing default behaviour going forward unless we have a very good reason. And allow users to override defaults via settings.
