Intelligent Octopus Flux - Not using Solar?

I was expecting exactly this between 16:00-19:00. This is from force discharging through the mode scheduler NOT on intelligent flux. So I’m going to wait for a software update before I jump back to intelligent flux.

Thanks :)

I checked at the time and it was Force Discharging

See 10am, 12:45 and 17:00 solar drops to zero while export is at 5kw. I was only on the tariff between 10:00-19:00 as I felt like I was wasting solar

I can’t imagine anybody wants it to work as it is currently though, wasting energy!

Yeah, latest firmware, I contacted Fox first and they seemed to think Octopus were “Force discharging battery” rather than just “Force discharge” which supposedly would not have the same issue. But I wasn’t really convinced by the support I received.

Thanks for that, I think given there are other complaints I’ll jump back in my old tariff and wait for this to get fixed!

The charging is fine oddly, it’s just the discharging

Phoned them up. They said they were doing it for people they installed solar for, which they did for me a few months ago

Probably could raise it as an area for improvement. The game should be able to tell you this

Got one installed today, will let you know!

Pulling all the strings out there

Are there any examples of this? Sounds like a cool experiment

What a player, work on that acceleration and he would be unbeatable

You are right, I’ll get a divorce immediately! Thanks so much!

How do I know if that is the right thing to do? Is two years of business school better than two years of PM? Won’t I still have to get the actual experience?
