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.

admin

WindyMiller Ah, yeah, that too!

Kevin

admin It just completely missed the 12:00 slot

admin

Kevin Today's? An export slot you mean? And you didn't have Paused enabled?

Kevin

admin yeah today. No, I had unpaused (is that the right word?) before that was due to run. Although, to be fair, I had only remembered to unpause it a couple of minutes before 12.
I've deselected the 13:00 - 13:30 slot. Will see if the 13:30 slot runs.

Kevin

admin 13:30 went through fine

Kevin

1330 export slot ran fine, but charge slot at 1400 failed. Never had so many failures.

admin

Kevin Can you check your connection status and strength on your datalogger in the ShinePhone app?

Kevin

admin How do I do that?

Adds buttons to reset today's and tomorrow's export schedules, clearing selected discharge slots

Does that mean that if I don’t hit the ‘reset’ buttons then they will carry over for the next day & forever?
If so an auto cancel might be good?

Nope, they don’t automatically recur. Same as Agile charge slots really. The reset is there purely for the scenario if somehow you end up with conflicts charge/export on same slot so you can remedy it yourself.

Kevin Plant tab, then Device list.

Then you should see something like:

Seems to have worked today.
It would be handy if the charge slots didn't get cleared as they get processed.
Or they all get cleared once processed.
At the moment there are some processed charge slots that are still showing which is a bit confusing.
Also, the processed export slots remain showing.

Kevin

Or

From groEnergy as Shitephone has currently decided to scrap out on me

Kevin

1530 export also failed

admin

Kevin Hmm, wondering if it's a conflict between end time of charge slot at 15:30 and start time of export at 15:30....

Yep, that's it, it's been treated as overlapping schedules by Growatt. Confirmed via Shinephone app by configuring ending charge (Battery first) at certain time and using Grid first start time that's the same.

@Kevin Server fix being rolled out now, should be available to test in the next 10-15 mins.

Mat

admin related to ww or giv?

admin

Mat Related to Giv or your inverter/comms/network connection. Inverter Timeout says it all, really.

Kevin

admin Not a particularly complicated set of instructions but an import and export ran through concurrently overnight fine.

Is there a reason the export appears twice in the log?

admin

Kevin Timing issue, we’ll fix that.

Update: Fixed now.
