Just the “PV input clipped to 0 when battery reaches 100% SoC during a mode scheduler force charge period” bug to be sorted then - still waiting for newer firmware for that……

[/quote] Hi Jim Thanks for the reply, I've not tried that, I'm fairly new owner of one of these systems. Is that just a simple... find the power isolator for the system and turn it to the off position and then back to the on position? Thanks Jordan [/quote] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBTtKaX ...

Hi My system has was installed a little over a month ago. My Firmware was updated on Tuesday 19th Nov to the same at JimH's above. I have the same Inverter but a different battery model and datalogger FW version. H1-5.0-E-G2 - Master : 1.29 Slave : 1.02 Manager : 1.44 Batteries - EP5 - BMS : 1.003 ...

Hi Tony - BMS master firmware was updated to version 2.000 (yes, really 2.000!) when my additional slave battery was updated to 1.13 to match the existing slaves... It does seem overly aggressive. I've just had an error code 195 (charge over current) too when the sun came out and have shut the ...

By way of update : ModBus connection reports "BMS1 Temperature" as per the graph above - currently 19.8 degrees C BUT ... Fox ESS app V2 Battery tab shows "Temp" currently at 8.5 degrees C - this isn't exposed in the HA Community Modbus Integration v1.5.9 by TonyM1958 that I'm using (the only one ...

Hi all - equipment as in my signature below. I had an additional ECS2900 slave battery installed on Monday 18th November. All inverter and battery firmware was updated on the same day to the latest versions available. Despite increasing my Octopus Agile forced charge windows a couple of times (they ...

Update - I added an extra ECS2900 slave to my stack today and Fox ESS have updated everything again. Versions (which I am assured are the latest) are now : H1-5.0-E-G2 - Master : 1.29 Slave : 1.02 Manager : 1.44 Batteries - ECS2900-2 - Master 2.000 Slaves 1.13 Datalogger - W4 - 4.13 If/when we get ...

FYI Updated H1-5.0-E-G2 inverter today (5th Nov 2024). Master 1.27 Slv 1.02 Manager 1.44 Thanks but I've been on those since 2nd October - the Mode Scheduler bug still exists in those versions (PV output clipped when SoC reaches 100% as opposed to being used for house load and/or exported) - I went ...

No idea why I didn't think of it before (too focussed on Mode Scheduler and before that Agile Integration I guess) but as there’s some PV today I switched off Mode Scheduler and set my charge from grid times in the “legacy” settings. Guess what - they work exactly as expected - no clipping of PV outp ...

Thanks Dave - that matches my experiences at least. I use Force Charge windows as above to load shift, as my PV and battery aren't big enough to meet all of my demand on low PV days. The afternoon force charge window is there (on Octopus Agile) to ensure that my battery is at 100% SoC before the ...

Hi I've been in constant comms with FoxESS for some weeks now and, am assured that all of my inverter and battery settings are at the very latest versions. The issue I'm still seeing is this : PV output is clipped to 0kWh issue when Battery SoC reaches 100% DURING a force charge period (only matters ...

I had all mine updated again within the last 10 days.

Current versions (installed as at as at 2/10/24) appear to be :

H1-5.0-E-G2 (Gen 2 inverter) - Master 1.27 Slave 1.02 Manager 1.44

ESS2900-2 (ver 2) Batteries - Master 1.016 Slaves 1.13

W4 (Datalogger) 4.13

Many thanks Dave - let's hope FoxEss catch up with their 2-day ticket response to the ticket I raised 3 days ago then

Hi Everything was working fine until I got the versions below a short while ago - pushed out by either my installer or FoxESS without a request (this time!) I now have the "No PV output/export when inverter is set to force charge mode and battery reaches or is at 100% during the scheduler period ...

Update - my inverter firmware issues detailed above are fixed - unbelievably all it needed was a full shutdown and restart (version number remained unchanged at 1.32 before and after) !!

OK - I'm now on H1-5.0-E-G2 inverter manager 1.32, which took a full shutdown/reboot to fix issues at inverter level. As far as Agile goes, 2 issues still remain : 1. Since the change to BST all Agile rates pulled into the Fox ESS cloud table are "out" by one hour 2. Everyone's rate table seems to ...

Does anyone know if Fox have fully implemented the Octopus Agile integration yet, in terms of battery charge automation? Not quite - 2 issues remain : 1. Since the change to BST all Agile rates pulled into the Fox ESS cloud table are "out" by one hour 2. Everyone's rate table seems to have the ...

CARE - Since the clocks changed to BST all Agile rates in Fix ESS cloud are "out" by one hour - Fox ESS are aware of this (and the fact that everyone's rate table has the same heading - East Midlands "hard coded") and are working on a fix....

Do you have a Gen 2 inverter by any chance?

Which inverter and firmware revision do you have?

I had the same, gave up and switched to mode scheduler instead. I do find that control of this in the Energy Stats app is much more intuitive than either of the Fox ESS V1 or V2 apps though....

I've found that opening a support ticket here works well too : https://support.fox-ess.com/portal/en/newticket

It's there in Fox ESS Cloud but doesn't trigger on my H1-5.0E -G2 (gen 2) inverter - I've been upgraded from firmware 1.30, to 1.31 and now on 1.32 but Fox ESS support advise that there is another release due the week after Easter to fix Agile integration issues. Could well apply to some other ...

I too now have the schedules available and working, except for “force discharge” which gives a “write error” when selected and attempt to set/save… Now on H1 Gen 2 firmware 1.32 ( 2nd upgrade since install in February)……

Update from Fox ESS support is that new firmware for H1 Gen 2 inverters should be ready by the end of this week (1st March 2024) and to request an update next week :) Hopefully in time to support the new Octopus Agile functionality coming in Fox ESS app ver 2.0 ;) screengrab.jpg https://fb.watch ...
