I would like to set a schedule to discharge my battery to a certain SoC, say 20% at which point it would turn off discharge. I’ve tried to do this with start and end times but the time set to end discharge overrides the set SoC. I’ve also tried to set a SoC schedule without times and WW doesn’t allow this. Is it possible then to do what I’m trying to do?
Discharging battery according to minimum SoC rather than time
stevek54 Not possible at the moment. The users who would need this typically have unpredictable drop-offs and inaccurate SOC numbers being reported.
We would have to poll every few mins or so for SOC and that would increase our API calls unnecessarily.
What you can do is set staggered export/forced discharge intervals (few mins apart) and specify SOC conditions for them to trigger. That's the way other users have worked around this issue.
Thank you. I’m not clear how I would set staggered times. Do you have a screenshot example please?
stevek54 Have a look at this thread here, where @MrMessy has done an excellent job documenting his staggered exports with different conditional SOC triggers:

Thanks. I will give this a proper read. Might need some paracetamol and strong coffee! Great job @Mr Messy.
