Dashboard doesn't include grid energy used to charge batteries

During the winter months, I use scheduled charging to top my batteries up overnight when I'm on cheaper energy, but the dashboard data does not include the grid power, though if I export the data with the advanced tab the amount of energy I've drawn at night is tabulated. Surely this power from the grid should be shown in the dashboard? The grid energy shown here is just the stuff I use directly from the grid and does not include the >100kwh in January for example I took from the grid at night.

Hi @Gingernuts Do you have an energy meter e.g. ET112 installed?

No, I don't believe I do; I've just looked at the boxes I do have and nothing like that on show.

Can you pull up data on a 48hr period onlyto see if it shows your charging schedule? What does your system comprise of and how is your system configured? A little diagram will be most valuable.
