I have HA set to detect when my Ev is charging via IOG, and to force charge my fox batteries whenever I get a charging slot from octopus outside normal off peak hours.

It's worked well for about a year...

However since the recent fox app update, I no longer have the ability to set force charge from the foxmodbus in HA... well actually it does switch to force charge for a minute, but then switches back to self use...

I noticed in the mode scheduler in the new fox app, its got a default of self use if an active mode is not in use... and this appears to be overriding the HA modbus command to force charge.

Has Anyone else got this issue... and perhaps come up with a solution? Only thing I can think of is to disable the mode scheduler and use the old timeslots in the app?

You can’t have an active schedule and control with home assistant, it’s one or the other.

If you want to use home assistant to control your inverter, in the app set the work mode to Self Use, that will disable the schedulers master switch and you will be able to change work mode, force charge, set min soc etc.. in HA

It worked fine for an IOG slot I got earlier. I just see Dave has posted, I don't have any Fox scheduling turned on.
