Hello,
I am new to FoxCloud2. I would like some help with setting the work mode and mode schedules to optimise the benefits of the octopus flux tariff. This tariff has these rates:

Can someone explain how the work mode and schedules should be setup?
Thanks you

Hello - first post!
Watched youtube video very helpful.

Created an account on https://www.fox-ess.com/
Support - created ticket reference latest firmware and they were on it straight away (very impressed)
Inverter updated to:
Version Master 1.26 - Version Slave 1.02 Version ARM 1.62

In Mode Sceduer > Work Mode - I now have 7 options:
Backup
Feed-in Priority
Force Charge
Force Charge (BAT)
Force Discharge
Force Discharge (BAT)
Self-use

I currently have 2 schedules setup.
02:00-04:49 - Force ChargeMin SOC 10%, Max SOC 100%, FD SOC 100%, FD Pwr 3700W (Flux 17.10p Import rate)
16:00-18:59 - DischargeMin SOC 10%, Max SOC 10%, FD SOC 10%, FD Pwr 3700W (Flux 30.68p Export rate)

I am trying to force a discharge between 16:00-18:59. The trouble I was having was the battery disharging before 16:00 so wasn't exporting 100%
It was also charging after 7pm to 100% before 2AM so I was not taking advantage of the low rate between 2-5AM.

Like many people with Fox ESS setup I am currently trying to sort out a Mode Schedule that works.

I also noticed on the mobile app if you hit the 3 little dots in the top right corner only has an option for Octopus Agile (inputting API key). I wonder if a Flux option will be coming out soon?
