Hi Everyone.

Does anyone know if Fox has fixed the problem where PV generation appears to be stopped when force charging from grid in schedule mode?
I am on Octopus agile tariff and sometimes give my battery a boost before 4pm if PV generation has been low.

Is there any way to go back to the two slot charging time as it used to work in the mode, I have deleted all schedules but get an error.

Thank you for any replies.

I am on app version 2.0.3

If you are using the schedules when you force charge PV power is disabled, I am told you can get round it by raising ‘minsoc on grid’ to 100% and the PV will then be used but it’s a fiddle.

It’s best to use the old charge periods for this, I think at the moment the new app isn’t working (don’t forget it’s a beta) - but if you use Energy Stats or the old ‘V1’ app you can still use the charge periods which do allow PV generation to be used.
