scheduled charging feature

Hi everybody


I'm discovering the scheduled charging feature from ESS assistant and found out that it it mainly switch to "keep battery charged" even if the SOC isn't below setpoint : roughly useless in an ESS configuration


The only way to get what everybody would expect from this feature (keeping ESS working as it should except if SOC is below setpoint in the time span set) is to use Venus Large and node red.


Is any plan scheduled to "adjust" this feature without having to start learning node red?


thank you in advance for any advice

I am facing the similar issue I think. Scheduled charging setup from 1am to 3am to leave at 3am with 30% SOC, and when I enter at 1am with 70% SOC, the algorithm will keep powering everything from grid despite having enough battery to ignore scheduled charging completely.

facing the same issue - not sure what the thinking behind this is. If this is indeed intentionaly and not a bug, I would suggest to offer a switch that allows to change this behaivior and allow discharging if SOC is above the minimal level.
