Idle power consumption increased from 0.17W to 0.23W
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2025 10:29 am
On 8/10/2025 just after 3pm, my base load power consumption (as displayed on the Fox App) went up from 0.17W to 0.23W (35% increase). There were no changes to the load appliances and other than this slight increase there was normal activity in the household i.e. cooking (induction hob) or watching tv etc.
This small change has meant that I need to hold a higher reserve overnight to prevent grid consumption.
I was able to discharge down to 30% at 7pm and get past 2am before charging from the grid. Now that seems impossible.
This has remained consistent over the last couple of days. I have tried recycling power to the inverter and battery with no avail.
My setup consists of:
FoxESS K Series Hybrid Inverter KH7 7kW inverter
FoxESS EP11 10.36kWh battery
No recent firmware updates, Master 1.47, slave: 1.01, ARM: 1.45 since 29/8/25.
Any ideas what has changed?
