Re: Difficulty charging batteries when charging my car
It’s very possible you are hitting an import limit as these settings were added in later firmware versions - these are effectively demand controls but with your EV charger its likely the settings are too low.
If you go to the inverter panel, and go into settings (password 0,0,0,0), on-grid, export ...

Re: Inverter in reboot cycle every morning
No it’s not faulty, the inverter is powered from DC (Solar or Battery), so without battery it will power down at night and power back up again when there is enough solar to wake it up - it’s not a problem but obviously works a lot better with a battery as you’ll have statistics 24/7 then.

Re: Mode scheduler stops working every few days
Today I checked the web app and I can see a new default entry but it has no time defined, just says "all other time (self-use)" or something like that.
I am guessing was another update to the mode scheduler from the backend.
Yep the V2 website has had an update and the default time slot gets ...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go off-peak cap
It’s been delayed, I think they realised it’s more complicated than they thought to add a ‘only charge 6 hours’ option to the app - estimates were the end of March but they did say they’d give plenty of notice and that hasn’t happened yet.

Re: Unexpected and unrequested firmware update 2 March 2026
Definitely a warning for EPS users, I nearly pulled my datalogger out so it cannot happen again… still dwelling on that.
We had a long wait between ordering an install and actually getting the install done due to a long list of things like grid approval, storms likely on install dates and so ...

Re: Unexpected and unrequested firmware update 2 March 2026
It happened to me the other day as well, like you I lost my EPS when the Master updated as it reboots the inverter - I am the user, installer and agent for my system so it could only have been Fox. I suspect because of all the issues with the latest app update and the scheduler incompatibilities ...

Re: Adding a second modbus...
You'll need to delete the existing Device, restart HA and then add the integration again with both Devices you want to add.

Re: How to set up Forced Charging at night and selfuse during the day
I am aware this may be an old post but the new version of the foxcloud2.0 app seems to have moved everything around. I had a charge on charge 1 set to charge my battery at night. This still works but the area where I edited charge 1 etc has disappeared. So when I want to turn this off or change it ...

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
Do you mean the V2 website? If so, Grid Charging Time is not enabled.
On the V2 app, with Forced Charge the tests we've tried this afternoon, Charging from Grid is shown as enabled (as per a screenshot at the very top of this thread).
Ok, yes it was the app I meant - Just as a final test, if ...

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
Import and export limits are both 13,000 W.
And it turns out I'd not been clicking OK in the time dialogue box in the V2 website - :oops: Sorry about that!
Clicking OK does store the times, but charging is still not activated. Also, the forced charge setting I entered into the FC2 app about 20 ...

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
I've given that a go. I can enter the times into the V2 app but the charging doesn't kick in.
This is actually where I was at the start of this thread. Times were set in V2 for an overnight forced-charge for it never happened.
If you look in the V2 app in Quick Settings, what do you see for ...

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
Hmmm, it would seem that Fox are creating schedules in their cloud whether you need them or not, I suspect to correct a lot of the problems that have been caused by the new app.
A new API key won't help for Energy Stats, it's being overridden by the Fox cloud so we'll have to work with that and get ...

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
Ok leave ES alone for now, i've just tried the V2 website and the latest iteration of the V2 website is enabling scheduler and won't let you disable (which is why you get the error messages) so go back to the original V1 website https://www.foxesscloud.com/login - are you familiar with the older web ...

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
The error and times being reset is because you can’t use the 2 charge periods and scheduler at the same time - you have to make sure scheduler is disabled to set and use the grid charging times (likewise for Energy Stats).

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply. I'm still in my first month of having a solar system but I soon found the app to be very flakey.
I already have Al Priest's Energy Stats app installed, but I've not been successful in using that to change the schedule. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
If I go Settings ...

Re: Forced overnight charging not happening!
Sadly the app has been very erratic at the moment and it may have added something that stops your charge, start by deleting your schedule in the app and then log into the V2 website https://www.foxesscloud.com/v2/login
When you have logged in you can click the purple box 'Quick Settings' on the ...

Re: Solar production, Load and Grid values in graphical display in App do not report properly (
You mentioned current sensors (plural), can I just check this is a single phase system, and that there are no other external generation sources in the cabin - in which case I would only expect CT1 to be connected.
Also any chance you can post an image of the load/grid traces

Re: FoxESS Home Battery won't charge more than 364W.
Can you tell us which inverter model and which batteries you have please, also what method are you using to charge the batteries - if it is scheduler (what settings were used please) or was it the older Grid Charge periods.

The baud rate is definitely 9600, N,8,1
Can you try doing a read registers (holding) starting from 30000 with a count of 16 which should return the model number.

Re: Force discharge setting overrides battery
Something has definitely changed in the back end within the last few days, when you look on the V2 website the slot it inserts between 00:00-23:59 that sets the fall back state is now showing simply as 'Remaining Time Slots' and it no longer appears to interfere with the running schedules - fingers ...

Re: DC power from H1 Inverter to Power Modbus to WiFi Adapter
Sadly not, it’s not a G2-WL by chance (in which case you can connect direct to it’s wifi)
If you can’t run a cable to it, just thinking out of the box a bit but you could have a look at solar power banks

Now that the CT clamp is enabled, it appears to have been fitted facing the wrong direction - if you can locate it you can unclip it and turn it through 180 degrees, it has a small clip on one side and opens on a hinge, it’s easy enough to turn it round but it might be easier to get the installer ...
