I'll do another test tomorrow morning and report on the Eco setting. I know it didn't switch on after the test earlier this morning.
Agile Octopus integration
Gazzagreen Much obliged Gazza, should be good now, famous last words!
admin LOL. I'm sure it will be good.
BTW, what do you feel about the Intelligent Flux tariff? I believe this export is controlled by Octopus?
And last message for the night....
Do version 1 inverters and version 3 inverters show the same faults when things go wrong, could this be a reason? I ask because i am planning on upgrading my version 1 in April.
Gazzagreen I think all it can do is send you lucrative export slots, which might be ad-hoc.
We’ll be looking at OI in a bit more detail, few users are helping us out there too.

Gazzagreen There’s definitely differences in the way they behave and how defaults are set up. But we’re aiming for it to sensibly work on all, without too many specifics going on, like if model a do b, if model c do d….because it just gets too messy and prone to error.

My agile charging, 4 different charge slots of varying length all worked correctly to day.
However, I did another export test. ECO came on at the end which is good, but the battery didn't export at all in the 6 minutes I set.

Gazzagreen Right, so all looks OK, and instructions correctly sent.
I have a sneaky suspicion that setting a 5 min export is basically not long enough for the inverter to start dumping at full rate. There might be some protection built in, in a similar way that once the battery nears 100%, the charge rate throttles down.
Also, you may not see stuff on the app/mobile due to the 5 min refresh, which could be another factor.
You could prove/disprove this by doing two experiments.
- Set an export via the Giv app/portal for a similar amount of time, 5 or 6 mins
- Set a longer export, perhaps 20 mins or so in WW
Will do later this afternoon.
OK sent a private about this. I tried exporting for 20 minutes but the export did not start. The Eco switch in my inverter settings remained in the on position

Gazzagreen Yeah, looks like you set export SOC requirement for export/discharge slot to be 90% but:
It should say this in your WW activity log too.
Trying again LOL
I did another export test a short while ago. While the export started and stopped as per the settings, Eco was not re enabled and I was importing from grid to home.
Mine seems to have worked well this time.
