It seems it would be simple enough, but I cant see where I can disconnect the inverter from feeding into the grid.

Im 2.5 hours away from the installation and would like to disable the inverter for now.

The inverter is newly installed H1-11.4-US Hybrid Inverter

This toggle is available
In the Desktop App, Under Devices/Settings/Country-> Boot/Shutdown

But Im unsure if this is the way to properly remotely turn it off.

Thanks in advance for the guidance.

Would setting the export to 1W be low enough?

That could probably work just fine. The cabin draws a steady kW so anything that low would work.

Would you do that under

Devices/Settings/Export Limit and set it as a very low percentage?

There is also the other setting I just updated above in the first post, but Im not sure of the ramifications of using that.

If you have load and you set the charge rate, it won't discharge and self use at the same time.

I force charge between 11am and 2pm when we get free power from the grid, even at just 1W so the battery won't discharge when the hot water comes on.

Fox ESS has mostly made global minsoc and maxsoc redundant and you can't even set them if there is even 1 schedule setting, even if that schedule is disabled, you will just get errors.

What I do is set schedules, different schedule modes allow different min/max settings, eg force discharge lets you set minsoc and force charge lets you set maxsoc.

Although I got caught out like others have doing that last night when minsoc was hit, but the schedule time period was still active it stopped discharging and the house started importing from the grid.

Thankfully I caught it in time and we weren't penalised for the 1kW draw that lasted 20 or 30s before it went back to self use mode.

Not a clue, I don't have that.

If all you want to do is stop it charging just set a force charge schedule, or just set the default mode that now shows in the schedule list, and charge at 1W then you will still be able to remotely access it if you want to make further changes.

Note, the force charge only effects imports from the grid, if you have solar connected by DC that will still cause the battery to charge.

Thanks for that. I dont have a battery in the system yet, so I think your suggestion of just setting the output to 1 Watt is a good solution.

Works for me when the battery is already charged enough to last over night, but not wanting the battery to discharge for the hot water tank.
