Quick charge button and overnight battery hold.

KevinD

As there were so many free / negative slots overnight this triggered my threshold setting to add them to my usual number of charge slots. I also set " Battery Hold " for the first time as I set the immersion heater to come on at 04:00 and also left our electric stove effect heater running overnight at low power and didn't want to use battery power for this. The high winds woke me about 03:00 and I checked my Inverter app and saw that the battery was full. I decided to use the quick settings to dump battery to grid starting at 03:20. Looking at the logs this morning I see that the command was sent successfully, there was no battery discharge however so I'm guessing that my overnight battery hold took precedence?
Not a problem as this was a random spur of the moment decision, but wondered if this is the expected behaviour.

KevinD Hmm, interesting, what does your Giv log tell you?

It also would have interrupted your charge block from 1:00-6:30, unless you then created a deliberate gap afterwards for a new charge slot starttime to be processed.

As I said, I'd woken up and it was a spur of the moment decision to do a quick discharge.
Here's the log.

Ah, wrong page, try this

KevinD Strange, command looks like it was sent, and apart from the inverter timeout on endtime (but looks like that was set by retries anyway), nothing seems out of the ordinary.

It may just be a Giv implementation, if you have an Enable AC charge active/true, setting DC discharge may have no effect.

Depending on charge or discharge instruction, I guess we could toggle the other flag to false, which may have the desired effect.

But would like to make sure before making a change like this.

I'm sure you have a lot on your plate so it's more something to note in case it raises its head again.
