Hi everyone,
I have an H1-6.0-E-G2 inverter and a 5.2 kW battery. In my city, I can access cheap energy from 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM.

Can I set up the following using the Mode Scheduler on the iOS app FoxCloud 2.0?

1. Charge the battery during the night (1:00 AM - 6:00 AM).
2. Use the battery until it reaches 10% charge, and then automatically switch to the grid.
3. Wait until the next night to start charging the battery again.

You wouldn't need mode scheduler for that,

Use the quick settings in your app to set a charge time for 01:00 to 06:00 with the charge from grid switch enabled, set a 10% minSoC and make sure the inverter is in the 'Self-Use' work mode which will use your battery (as long as there is no solar) until it hits your minsoc.

If you don't want the battery to charge from solar, set the work mode to Feed In

The house load will always be covered by solar if available, in self use the battery will charge before it exports power to the grid, in feed-in it will not charge the battery and export to the grid.


Note - You can't use the quick settings and scheduler together it is one or the other so if you plan to do more complex things, use the scheduler to ''force charge' between 01:00 & 06:00 and set a self use (or feed in first) workmode with minsoc as 10%.
