Multiplus 2 scheduled charge and UPS

Hi,


I have a multiplus 2 and Cerbo GX to manage scheduled charging from the grid between 8am and 4pm to fill my batteries and then I use battery power between (overnight).


I want to use the batteries as much as possible and I want the Multiplus to change over to the grid if the batteries get too low but I do not want it to charge the batteries until the scheduled charge time window.


Is there a way to set it to change over to the grid but not charge until the scheduled charge time from the Cerbo GX.

You are already using scheduled charging, sonyou can do it with that

Have a look at the ess manual page 13, it explaines how to use multiple schedules

So I should set is as follows?

schedule 1: Everyday 8am to 4pm 100%

schedule 2: Everyday 4pm to 8am 20%

Then it will have a 20% margin for if the grid fails during the night.

That is how I am understanding that. Do I have that correct?
