This post is about a different issueTrotski wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 8:32 pm Since having this issue with grid import after a forced discharge period back in Jan/Feb time, seems my kh10 has stopped having this issue at some point in may 2026. I've noticed a few times over the last couple of weeks it hits the fdsoc % and whilst foxapp 2 still shows it's in force discharge mode, it starts to recharge the battery using solar just like it was in self use mode. Much as it always did last year before I updated the sw.
Has anyone else noticed this ?
I have a kh10 running master 1.60, slave 1.02 and manager 1.58.
I haven't updated it since Jan/Feb time but all of a sudden come may, it seems to be working again and no longer importing from grid once fdsoc % met.
Like some kind of bizarre magic ? Did anyone also experience this, and if so any idea what made it change ?
For the H1 Gen2, Master v1.55 and Manager 1.73 have now been released. I've installed them and when doing a forced discharge, when the FDSoC is reached, it still switches Home to Grid Import and Solar to Charging. Not good.

I thought the issue was a Fox Cloud app issue. When they told me it was in testing
When I described the issue to them, the reply I got was:
(and yes, the l is missing from April) Anyway, to me this is not an app issue, but who knows?OK i got what you mean, for current logic ,it does not support like you described, but in the next firmware we will achieve this
The firmware will be released around mid of Apri

But each schedule window should have the option "Mode When Complete Before Window End" - "Self Use" or Backup" Would fix this for every fox ess user

YES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Such a simple fix.

Shouldn't it just revert to the default mode?

To fix this for every and a day it should allow user to pick for the reminder of the window once soc is reached as some users may have different use cases where for the window they may want self use (ie solar->battery->grid), backup(ie grid->solar->battery) or feed in priority ( is this battery->solar->grid? for home load with solar prioritized for feed in) . Plus this would mean moving forward no developer could change it again on the entire user base and be in this situation again in a few years.
For example if default mode is self use, but user has selected force charge between 11am-2pm and it reaches 100%soc at midday they may wish for the rest of the window, midday to 2pm to draw from grid for home load (i assume this is how existing backup mode works) rather than self use, because they are on a free energy plan for 3hrs in middle of day and don't want to draw down on the battery.
For forced discharge most users want it to go to self use once soc is reached as they are discharging battery to get high feed in and not use grid power, Or they are getting rid of battery charge due to high solar forecast ahead. However having the option for end users means it cant be removed or changed by a developer in the future and users have clear control of this.
It is ridiculous this has been going on for almost 6 mths fox where are you with this????.

You have articulated the problem and solution elegantly.
Yes - it is ridiculous that Fox have not listened to customers. I personally reached out to their global and Australian help desks and was fobbed off as a non-issue.
Meanwhile, I have been paying for grid electricity every day for a few hours, when the sun is shining brightly. Not happy.
