FoxESS Community - Owners & Installers Forum

Hi Everyone,

I've just had a H3-15.0-Smart installed along with an EQ4800-9.

I am on the Globird ZeroHero plan in Queensland Aus and I would like to set the schedule so the battery will sell to the grid between 6pm and 9pm but once it gets to a predetermined SoC it should revert to Self Use.

Last night I had it set up but I noticed the Forced Discharge mode will get to x% then import power from the grid and not use what is in the battery. This cost me the ZeroHero bonus $1 for the night.

Having this feature of hitting the trigger and changing mode would be much better than a set time.

If there is already a way to do this please let me know

There are two things here to know.


You may want to set up if you haven't already with your installer, "Meter Compensation" check 3min 25sec into Will's video. This will allow your system to keep "pushing" back small amounts of power from the grid, allowing the import of energy during peak to be near to 0 Watts.


There are some new firmwares being baked by Fox currently, so they should switch modes once you acheive the %SoC.
Currently the logic is that the TIME and SoC both have to be satisfied. So until the time period completes, you will keep drawing off the grid.


The final solution is to wait it out (newer firmwares) or use other control methods to change the behavior.
