Even though I've activated a scheduled charge setting using ESS it shows as inactive in the remote console.
And no matter where I make my grid setpoint the system is still drawing some power from the grid.

ESS Scheduled charging
It should show as active during the scheduled time so between 00 an 06 (duration of 6 hours), outside of this it is discharging and inactive.
Your setpoint is 100W and its pulling 114W, seems normal.
I tried a setpoint of zero - made no difference
It's best not to mix questions in a topic.
You haven't provided any detail whatsoever on your system and its config, so it requires guessing.
There are many reasons why the system could "ignore" the setpoint, everything from a poor grid, loads, parallel system issues, to install/config.
The setpoint is a point around which the system's power will ebb and flow depending on flucations, transients, load types etc. It is rarely fixed and exactly on the number.
Suggest, you close this topic off if the schedule question was resolved and open another where you document the system thoroughly, and provide supporting charts that show the behaviour, loads etc. You may have more luck that way.
