Thanks for reply, that certainly clarifies things.

I've read that the most recent firmware updates for the H1 and AC1 inverters enable a force discharge mode, but this is only available via "strategy periods". Is it possible to control force discharge directly from HA (I'm currently using https://github.com/nathanmarlor/foxess_modbus), eit...

Cheers, I will give it a go but I guess there isn't a way to copy the historic data across is there? I think it's technically possible, but it involves manually editing statistics in the database. Assuming that it's the Energy Dashboard stats that you're concerned about, what you might be able to d...

The 3.9kW is when batteries are full, that's the regular high I see on nice sunny days. I have just had a look at Hone Assistant for the value of PV Now and over the last 2 weeks it peaked at 4.37kW. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong parameter? That's strange. I don't have a "PV Now" entity,...

Our max output has been 3.9Kw which I assume is the inverters max output - I was expecting a max of 3.68Kw. 3.68kW is the inverter's maximum output (i.e. the amount of AC it can produce from PV/battery). The maximum PV input is 4.68kW, which is the limit on both battery charging and inverter usage....

I thought I'd share my solution to this, which is to use a T-Smart immersion heater thermostat ( https://www.tsmart.co.uk/ ). These are fairly inexpensive (I paid around £90) and if you have a heater with a swappable thermostat, very easy to install. It also gives you access to the water tank temper...
