Hi, I note that my GivEnergy AiO is now charging the battery outside of the windows set in the WW APP - why? I have ECO set on the AiO and Slot 1 is from 0:00 to 0:00

You cannot have a 24 hour window. Some do 00:00 to 23:00, others like me do 00:00 to 16:00. It's because each published day the prices finish at 23:00. There is a technical reason but I cannot remember while on mobile

@"KristianS"#p5954 thanks. I’ll set Slot from 0:00 to 23:00 and see what happens tomorrow

@"KristianS"#p5954 I think I might be confused over the slot settings. On the GivEnergy AiO the Slot 1 resets to from 0:00 to 0:00 even though I changed this to from 0:00 to 23:00. The same terminology is used on the WW APP. I did have a slot from 19:00 to 0:00 which I have now changed to 19:00 to 23:00. Is this what you were suggesting?

@"Steve1"#p5961 Possibly. My suggestion would be to not try and do anything in the GivEnergy portal for management of charging or discharging - or the app for that matter and let WW do everything you need. It will cause conflicts and weird behaviours I would recommend resetting your GivEnergy back to defaults and then driving all slots through the WW portal.

@"KristianS"#p5975 Thanks. I managed to get the AiO to discharge to the house between 16:00 hrs and 19:00 hrs (I think by setting this window on the GivEnergy DISCHARGE option. However, the AiO has ignored the WW battery charging setting for later tonight and has started charging the battery from the grid from 19:00 hrs (possibly due to conflict between the AiO APP and the WW APP?). So will give your suggestion a trial. One thing, on the WW APP how do I get the AiO to supply the home between 16:00 and 19:00 hrs from the battery?

> @"Steve1"#p5984 One thing, on the WW APP how do I get the AiO to supply the home between 16:00 and 19:00 hrs from the battery? That should be achieved by having Eco mode toggled on in Giv. We don't touch Eco for charge instructions and depending on the type of Giv inverter generation and user settings, we tend to revert to Eco after export (to grid) instructions. In other words, you shouldn't need to do anything, apart from have Eco toggled to On in your Giv app.

@"Steve1"#p5984 I have never had any time setting set on the Timed Discharge window [URL=https://i.imgur.com/454RLsp.jpeg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/454RLsph.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] That is not necessary.

Any conflicts should be removed by performing a full reset. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/jFqqLPE.jpeg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/jFqqLPEh.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] Once that is done, then any charging slots selected by the Agile charging window will take over. Every other of the 48 half hour slots will be in Eco mode which will mean not pulling from the grid

@"admin"#p5985 So I am still confused. With ECO set on the AiO the AiO seems to select charging windows that I have not selected in the WW APP, so what value is the WW APP performing if ECO ‘does its own thing’? Surely the whole point of the WW APP is to be able to select the cheapest Agile windows for charging the battery? My understanding was that the WW APP would control the Agile windows for charging the battery (and not the ECO mode on the AiO).

@"Steve1"#p6009 That is what is happening. WW will select the cheapest slots for you as long as you have an Agile charge window set up (and active) say 00:00-23:00, or you may split them up in multiple charge windows - it’s up to you, and then select number of half hour slots you want WW to select within that period. Regardless of all that, Eco setting should be set to on by default on your Giv inverter if you want to service house load in between charge or export slots.

KristianS Hi Kristian, think I might stay with Agile ATM. I have simplified my charging schedule (see below) and will monitor usage/cost for a while.

admin Ideally would like to stay with Octopus as I like their innovative approach (which I think other companies are now mimicking)

KristianS Agree 100%
