Hello,
I have a system with grid feed-in enabled. Feed-in happens when the battery is fully charged and there is surplus solar production.
Is there a way for the system to start feed-in when the battery is at 80%?

edit: please remember your batteries like to be fully charged, and won't like you if you keep them below 80% all the time :)
@Zain are you familiar with using node red ?
you want to use the output "ESS Control", "venus setting" and "grid set-point(W)"
set it to a negative figure -1000 will export at 1000w
you can then trigger it to start with and SoC of 80% and stop at 79% (or what ever)
you could set the grid point based on your solar "PV power"
and/ or reduce it based on consumtion
I get paid more between 4 and 7 pm (the timer switch)
so if my batteries are more than 60% it dumps it to the grid, stopping at 60%
(i change that from day to day, my manual version Dynamic ESS)
this is what it looks like
