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.

Looking good. If you need more testers…

Export slot reset nicely at the end. 🙂

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.

admin

WindyMiller Can't seem to reproduce that.

WindyMiller

admin When the auto populate happened it cleared down 7 of my 8 selected export slots and they became charge slots again (did the 8th one become a charge slot too?). It was the one that wasn't cleared that became unselectable. So it might have something to do with the auto-populate not clearing the export slots properly.

But I also have my auto-select for charge slots set to 13p which means I start with a lot of selected charge slots so it could be something to do with that as well.

My 00:30 slots is still unselectable.

admin

WindyMiller My 00:30 slots is still unselectable.

Removed now.

WindyMiller So it might have something to do with the auto-populate not clearing the export slots properly.

Yeah, we don't clear them down at all atm, but will probably need to, prior to prepopulation. Or simply look at which ones are selected for export and let that take precedence?

WindyMiller

admin Thanks. My 00:30 slot is still unselectable in export view.

admin

WindyMiller Check now?

WindyMiller

admin It's right now. It had become a charge slot and I could deselect it in charge view and select it in export view. Now selectable in export view.

So it must have been the re-populate setting the charge flag whilst the export flag was set causing a conflict for the GUI?

admin

WindyMiller So it must have been the re-populate setting the charge flag whilst the export flag was set causing a conflict for the GUI?

Yep, pretty sure it's that.

WindyMiller

My first export worked but stopped early as the reserve was changed from 4% to 10% for some reason?

admin

WindyMiller Yep we need to take inverter defaults into account. Will fix over the weekend. Thanks!

Pourl

admin

FWIW mine just stopped at 10%.

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.
