Is it possible to have selected Agile slots always charge regardless of battery SOC? During the day whene there is lots of solar and very cheap Agile slots I want to go on-grid and not use the battery and was hoping that auto selected slots would send an AC charge command to the inverter which would then just use solar+grid. However, it seems that if the battery SOC is 100% the AC charge command is skipped. I vaguely remember a thread here that talked about allowing the slot to charge even if the SOC is 100% but can't seem to find it. Is this possible?

@"johalareewi"#p7743 Yeah we can introduce an Advanced setting for this to allow users to choose that option. I'm away for a few days, but we'll get this implemented before end of next week.

@"johalareewi"#p7743 Using ‘Quick Schedule - Charge’ on the ‘Home’ tab for 120 minutes your battery charges to 100% then house runs off grid/solar. Did for me today, anyway.

> @"admin"#p7748 we can introduce an Advanced setting for this Cool. Just to be clear, this will only happen if the Agile window's "SOC Less Than" setting is 100% AND the battery SOC is 100%. I have Agile windows with an "SOC Less Than" value which will still need to work. It is only Agile windows where the "SOC Less Than value is 100%" and the battery SOC is 100% that I would like to be able to choose to always charge. I did try to enter the SOC Less Than value as 101% but the system wouldn't allow this.

Would have been handy to have it this morning. I manually selected some Agile slots because the EV was going to use them to charge up and I wanted to make sure the GE battery was topped up ready for the 4pm peak (and not emptied into the EV). However, the GE Battery SOC was 100% so the slot got skipped and so the EV charged up using the GE battery (and solar). :( Luckily, WW checked again in 30 mins and the battery SOC was no longer 100% (it was in the EV!) so WW sent the commands to start AC charging.

@"johalareewi"#p7911 We're putting an easy fix in for that now, should take 10-15 mins to be deployed. Allowing Agile Window less than condition to be 101%, which means when you specify that, the charge will never be skipped, allowing you to effectively draw from grid. **Update:** This has been rolled out now as part of release 1106.

@"admin"#p7912 Cheers. Obviously won't work for manually selected slots outside of an agile window but gives me a workaround. WIll be testing it ASAP

@"johalareewi"#p7913 Yeah fair, what do you think could be done for that? What would be a good solution?

> @"admin"#p7914 What would be a good solution? I guess an option in the advanced settings? Don't skip AC Charge when battery SOC is 100% [on/off] (default off) Or Skip AC Charge when battery SOC is 100% [on/off] (default on)

> @"admin"#p7912 Allowing Agile Window less than condition to be 101%, Agile prices are such that this should be tested today. Got an Agile window with 101% SOC test and selected slots. Battery should be 100% at the time thanks to solar PV.

Agile slot - how to always charge regardless of battery SOC

admin

WindyMiller Not implemented yet, did you try the 101% target SOC workaround for Agile charge window that @johalareewi suggested initially?

WindyMiller

admin No. I have only just understood the behaviour with charge slot commands when the battery is already at 100% and I was using manual charge slots. It looks to be the re-eval code that clears the charge enable when the battery has reached full charge but in my case today I was trying to go above 100% as it was a calibration. I've resorted to using the GE timers instead. It's only a 1-off hopefully.
