Today in particular has reminded me of what would be a helpful improvement to the Agile page. I'm sure I've seen this mentioned before but in a quick scan of previous posts I can't find it. Would it be possible to toggle Agile slots from charge, hold, discharge or just normal operation? Today I have had to create numerous discharge schedules in between charging slots to get as much cheap energy throughout the day before dumping it back in the grid. I've had 12 charge slots and 12 discharge slots. I would have liked to also have just held a couple of slots but really couldn't be bothered with resetting the Agile window just for that hour of hold.

Did this get looked at at all? Is this on the list of potential updates?

@"Kevin"#p7788 We will start some experimenting with this, thanks for the nudge.

I was about to make a similar request. When there is a long period of pricing that's well under the fixed 15p export rate, I would love to be able to select (or even better have WW propose) a "harvesting" mode that alternates between import and export for optimum lengths until there's only enough time left to charge back to the target SOC.

@"webmink"#p7854 This would be a good enhancement. I am doing this manually by pre-selecting all slots below 13p then deselecting the most expensive ones (even though below 13p) adding them as exports in the schedule. It takes me about 10 minutes to go through them then verify them (the red arrows showing the exports are really helpful). Starting with no charge (0) I count the slots to add up to 6 by the end (charge = +1, export = -1) and never more than 6 in the middle (7 is a full charge for my batteries). This means I import the maximum at the lowest cost. Finally I set my immersion heater on for the lowest 6 slots to heat my hot water too. In the schedule below I harvested about £5 during the 24 hours (exported 31 kWh some of which was solar) for an import cost of 80p for 32 kWh. A net gain of £4.20 - not bad for 10 minutes work. [URL=https://imgapi.wonderwatt.com/i/LKuWS0J.png][IMG]https://imgapi.wonderwatt.com/i/LKuWS0J.png[/IMG][/URL] 13p = 16.5p x 80%. 16.5p is my export rate and I assume 20% is lost through the batteries.

Having to use Schedules for export and the Agile Scheduler for charging is a bit complicated and trips me up from time to time. The Schedules and Agile can also clash if the windows overlap, with unexpected results. Being able to do charge, export, hold, etc. on a slot by slot basis all from the one Agile scheduler would be great.

@"johalareewi"#p7858 Yep, this is the next biggish change we will roll out. Ability to set export slots from the Agile screen, clearly without any conditional logic and just an assumed 100% discharge/dump.

UI pretty much finalised for this change, we will get the scheduling aspect sorted next week hopefully and then will open it up initially to 2 or 3 users, so shout with your WattID if you're game, cheers! And enjoy the sunshine!

@"admin"#p7922 I'm game: elaborate-routine

@"WindyMiller"#p7923 you got dibs!

Greater functionality of the Agile page.

Any chance that selected charge slots outside of an agile window can behave like the selected export slots and always fire up without any SOC% tests?

johalareewi

WindyMiller should we consider the increase write frequency to our inverter registers

Good point. Using this new export functionality, there could be a lot more register writes.

WindyMiller

admin I've just released another benefit of this change is that I no longer need a 5 minute pause between charge and export as they are all done by the same scheduler. Previously I used 5 minutes of idle between charge and export which on a busy night added up to an hour of idle. Now they can usefully be used for more charge or export slots saving even more!

johalareewi

admin Save button functionality has now been consolidated and simplified on the Agile page.

Sweet. Like how the pending changes are thicker so they can be seen.

johalareewi

Looks like ECO mode got left off after the overnight charge export and hold actions.

DC Discharge also still enabled

And HOLD not cleared at the end of the agile window

Remote log for the Agile window period
Looks like the server switched the discharge rate back to 737 after WW set it to 2600.
The 09:50 entries are me sorting things out

admin

johalareewi Thanks for reporting, server fix now been deployed.

Not sure if this missed your fix but my 1pm export had the same problem.
At the end of the export, the battery discharge and ECO were not cleared/reset.
I did it manually at 15:26

I have a Gen1 GE HY3.6 inverter

~~I'm presuming it's a growatt issue but I've had a few "failed to set inverter schedule"~~
Edit: Had another look...
At 12:29 had a failure to set on an Agile charge. Noticed that about 12:50 and had an export due at 13:00. Paused the schedules and scheduled a quick charge for 30 minutes and unpaused the schedule around 13:20 as I didn't want the 1300 export to continue with the missing charge. I then changed the 1400 slot from a charge to an export. However when the Agile slot picked up at 1329 it didn't register the change from charge to export at 1400 and set for 1330 through to 1600.
The export at 1400 did try to run (twice) @1359 and 1400 and failed both times.
Not sure now if this is growatt or ww! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kevin Here's our logs, looks like a growatt problem. No response from your inverter.

Same error at 13:59 and 14:00.

Kevin

admin
Figured that was a growatt issue in the main. It was more that it set the charge for 1330 all the way through to 1600 ignoring that 1400 export...

admin

johalareewi Should be fixed now for sure. 😃

admin

Kevin It didn't ignore the export, your Activity log says your 14:00 Agile export failed (two entries in there actually)

Kevin

admin Replied in the contiguous slots thread by mistake. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Export slots failed overnight. First export slots ran fine, I think, possibly, as they weren't preceded by a charge slot. It just seems odd that the later export slots failed.

johalareewi

admin
Looks like some good prices Friday. Will give it some more testing.

johalareewi

admin
Export slot reset nicely at the end. 🙂

Pourl

Looking good. If you need more testers…

admin

Pourl Added you, thanks!

johalareewi

Got some strangeness with the 30 min re-evaluation processing of a contiguous block.
Not sure if it is due to the beta testing version or is present in the main version.
Have posted the details to the thread:

Tomorrows prices through and it highlights the ease of setting the charge and export slots with this trial, especially helpful not having to flit back and forth to set the exports for like 1 slot. Love the pulsing unsaved slots too. 😊

WindyMiller

I've got a strangeness again. Somehow I cannot deselect tomorrow's export slots even when in export view. They are greyed out as being charge slots. I don't know how I did this. I can deselect this evening's export slots however.

admin

WindyMiller Deleted them for you. See if you can find the repro-steps pls. Thanks!

admin

WindyMiller Unless you just selected export slots and saved right before auto-population of agile charge slots ran?

Hmm, that needs thinking about. Might just add a 'reset discharge slots' button.

WindyMiller

admin It's something to do with being an existing export slot. Just now I had one export slot (00:30) after the auto-population. I deselected 7 more slots from charge view, didn't save, switched to export view, selected the 7 slots for export and saved. These 7 slots are now selectable in export view but the single original slot isn't.
