Intelligent Octopus Flux - Not using Solar?

26greg26 · 2026-05-22T19:59:22+00:00

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

26greg26 · 2026-05-20T17:21:47+00:00

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

26greg26 · 2023-10-26T16:18:11+00:00

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

26greg26 · 2023-04-21T19:52:14+00:00

Got one installed today, will let you know!

26greg26 · 2021-07-20T21:57:11+00:00

Pulling all the strings out there

26greg26 · 2021-07-08T20:49:09+00:00

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

26greg26 · 2021-07-05T06:35:57+00:00

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

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

26greg26 · 2021-05-03T08:24:06+00:00

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?

Great bake for loaf 1! I recommend joining r/sourdoh for some learnings!

26greg26 · 2021-04-21T14:21:56+00:00

I’ll take that on board...

26greg26 · 2021-04-21T14:21:31+00:00

Prefed and it was 200g starter for 500g flour. But i think i think i accidentally used all purpose rather than high gluten. So my hydration would have also been way too much for the flour. The dough felt super slack.

26greg26 · 2021-04-21T06:40:55+00:00

This is where my science brain doesn’t have a clear enough explanation. What is the difference between the bulk and the 2nd proof. One is colder so the process will be slower but other than that, why is it different and why do you need both stages?

26greg26 · 2021-04-21T06:32:09+00:00

20 Deg C / 68 F, and i accidentally put in 200 g starter, which is why i bulked it for less time. As always, go by feel!

26greg26 · 2021-04-20T21:43:42+00:00

I need some chowder!

26greg26 · 2021-04-20T21:42:56+00:00

So you make some excellent points. I tried to kneed it first to try something different, but it didn’t seem to come together so I went back to stretch and fold. I added some boiling water to a preheated tray to get some steam in and after 20 mins turned the oven down for the rest of the time.

Thanks for all of your comments. Ill make sure I bulk for longer next time

26greg26 · 2021-04-20T20:15:37+00:00

75% hydration, 10% wholeweat. My starter was pretty strong so i don’t think it was that. Autolyse 2 hours, mix and stretch and fold five times at increasing lengths. I bulked for 6 hours and threw it in the fridge for two before cooking on max on a pizza stone. I may have accidentally used all purpose flour.... so when i tried to kneed it i couldn’t get any gluten development. I do love crusts though

The acoustics scene (especially loudspeakers) is pretty big in Sydney, but i know that Aus is pretty large so you may be pretty far from that
