Thanks, wow at home assistant, there are some jolly clever people and tools out there in internet land, amazing what can be done these days. Too much for my small brain. Very happy now with my set up. From 4.30pm just concluded 95 minutes discharging the battery at 35p/kWh, which correctly...

Yes it worked well, it took about 70 minutes charging my battery to full up from 3am. So I started out this morning with a full charge and now there is just enough solar coming through the cloud to keep it topped up. On a sunny day I would be shipping the surplus solar. The plan now to set...

Curiouser and curiouser. This evening I opened shine server (rather than the shinephone app) on android instead of using my laptop, and it was accepting commands to charge and discharge as "successful". So I have set my battery to charge 3am-5am. If that works and there is enough solar...

Extraordinary! It always responds with "Set Parameter Failure" unless the cursor is on the EPS Set button before hitting Save. Just running a test Battery First to see if it is now "successful" accepting commands

I registered my interest in Flux it seems a reasonable deal for my situation, but it seems this is just a posit from Octopus to test if there would be any interest. So instead I have signed on to Agile pro-tem ... and yes, I noticed the t's and c's said you would be dumped on to standard tariff...

Still struggling with this and service.uk has gone quiet. I don't have your compressed screen problem. Just once I have managed to execute a command over shine server successfully, but that was just to confirm the UPS was Off (not present). Every attempt to set a schedule or to change priority...

Sure it depends on circumstances. At the moment battery quotes look awfully expensive. Looking around for an extra 3.3kwh LPH battery for my system and the internet prices are £1.5-2K, on a DIY install basis. If you are able to find what for you is an affordable battery I don't think you would...

Just seen this maybe I should go for Flux over Agile, it seems a more straightforward deal and (once I have got a hang of it) relatively simple to set up the inverter to permanently import 2-5am export 4-7pm. I don't have an "intelligent" household and no EV yet.

Isn't the trick of avoiding import to reduce or eliminate the use of high-load devices? The oven is the killer of course, which you can sidestep to some extent using a slow cooker etc. I swapped my kettle and toaster for low-power ones, no real hardship, it just adds a minute. I also have a...

Piggy back on this thread. In a similar position, just switched to Octopus Agile and wanting to make the most of it - eg setting my SPH3000 to force charge at 3am and to force discharge at 6pm. I understand how to set the System controls via the shine server and the growatt-reversedate...
