Re: Help Needed

Hi Chris, I think this should do what you need - You have to use number.set_value not input_number.set_value,. I’ve done it in 2 steps first to load battery_soc into the variable BSoC, set as an integer with a default value of 10 (just in case it’s unavailable) then write it out via the {{ template...

Help Needed

Hi, hope someone has the time to help. I'm trying to set an action for an automation I want to do, but I think it needs a template which I'm no good at :| I would like, depending on the Agile price, to use the current battery SoC value to set the same value for min SoC on grid, so my battery stops d...

Re: Octopus Agile Automation

Hi, I've noticed the YAML code I've posted the spacing has been messed up, so if you copy & paste it into automations in YAML mode it won't work. Anyone know how to post code so the spacing is correct?

Re: Octopus Agile Automation

Hi all, I use Agile & have several automations that help me manage the Tariff. Bear with me as I am dyslexic & writing is not one of my strengths, but I'll do my best to explain what I've done & feel free to ask questions but I'm on a course this week (WC 8th Jan), so may not be able to ...

Re: Battery Charge Throttle

Hi Dave, everything seems to be working except the charge current is changing when SoC >80%. I have the two jinja files in a folder "config/custom_templates", but I notice in the comments section something about a script. Looking in automation>scripts I have no scripts to be run?? Thanks ...

Re: Battery Charge Throttle

Hi Dave, once again thanks. This is exactly what I've wanted for a while, especially for solar charging. I've just implemented the helpers, code & automation and seems to be working. Today is forecast to be a decent solar day, so can test it out. One question: Will the battery throttle work alon...

Re: Battery Capacity Tracker

Hi Dave thanks for getting back to me. No, I won't be using any automation, simply setting the force charge times. I'll be definitely looking at when I'm sure there's no solar charge influencing the discharge for a capacity test over any very poor winters days. Cheers, Chris Hi Chris, I've updated ...

Re: Battery Capacity Tracker

Hi Dave, with winter looming, I'll be force charging & looking at capacity tests. Before I go ahead & get your tracker up & running I have ECS2900 V1 on the latest firmware (SoC hits 100%) are there any changes to the tracker code needed. Oh, I'm on Flux at the moment (off peak 02:00 - ...

Re: Some useful calculation templates?

Hi Tony, can I ask regarding inverter efficiency power out / power in does this take into account DC charging of the battery because my inverter efficiency looks very low?

Thanks, Chris

Re: Energy cube upgrade manual (Adding Additional Slaves to FoxESS Energy Cube)

I've followed your excellent guide to the letter however no matter what I try, my CM2900 boots up into an alarm state when the 2x additional CS2900 batteries are installed. Changing it back to the original 1x master/ 1x slave setup everything is happy and dandy again. My assumption is that the two ...

Discharging below minimum SOC

Hi, I presume this is the normal operation of Foxx-ESS battery storage? When I set minimum SOC to say 30%, the batteries stop discharging power once the SOC is reached, but then slowly, over several hours, the battery reduces to 25% & then charges at approx 0.5kWh until 30%. The cycle then repea...
