Hey Team,
Don't know if this has been posted before but, I am an Australian owner running a Fox ESS KH10 inverter paired via RS485 with a Fox ESS EV Charger.
Please add a Mode Scheduler to the Fox ESS EV Charger settings in FoxCloud 2.0—similar to the inverter's Mode Scheduler—that allows users to schedule changes between PV Linkage modes (e.g., Green, Economy, and Closed) and Max Charge Current at specific times of the day, including while an active charging session is plugged in.
Why This Is Needed (Australian Time-of-Use Tariffs):
Many Australian electricity plans offer free or ultra-cheap midday windows (e.g., 11:00 am – 2:00 pm) and overnight EV windows.
Currently:
1. If the EV charger is set to Green or Economy mode to track solar during the morning, it remains locked at a ~1.4 kW trickle when the inverter's Forced Charge window opens because the home battery absorbs all available solar.
2. The EV charger's existing schedule only controls basic start/stop times and cannot switch PV Linkage modes, nor can PV Linkage be changed without manually stopping the charging session first.
Allowing users to schedule automatic transitions between Green/Economy mode and Full-Speed Grid mode (while respecting the inverter's 63 A Import Current Control) would make Fox ESS inverters and EV chargers work seamlessly together on Australian time-of-use tariffs.
Hope this feedback finds the EV firmware development teams.
Cheers
