Portal alarm: How to set up alarm to detect loss of solar only during the day?

Hey all,


Thanks for the help. Fairly new to setting up alarms I can see that there is an alarm for PV voltage. I tried setting it up but it is not working as expected. Even if I do get it working, obviously do not want it alarming once the Sun goes down. Any advice?


Thanks!

At first sight, you can't, because you also have to take into account the time.

And in this moment that it's not possible, because alarms are based only on one variable.

And I, for one, don't know any variable that will show you PV voltage or PV power or, in fact any PV variable that it's true only during the day.
