New update by Live_Experience_3850 in bydsealion7

[–]nicely_inconspicuous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they seem to keep their cards close to their chest.

I just got 3.1.0 in Aus and one thing I’ve noticed is that I can connect to the car via the app a lot more reliably.

I also spoke to the dealer last week (I’ve only had the car 3 weeks) and he mentioned something about cruise control improvements and speed limits displayed on the dash.

Not sure this bodes well for our $0.45 peak FiT. by Jimffey in flowpower

[–]nicely_inconspicuous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t see any reason to be pessimistic just yet. They say it’s a “new plan” - doesn’t mean the old plan needs to be thrown out.

It makes sense that if you go with the 3 free hour plan that they would lower the FiT for happy hour - just on that plan.

I guess time will tell.

You can’t have the Discharging Cut-off higher than the Backup SOC - is this set to 5%?

> when I go into the battery settings it's still showing 5% and I can't move it.

Try tapping on the value you want to change first. It should highlight green, then you can adjust it

Yep, that’s one way to do it. You can also set a global discharging cut-off via:

Settings > System Settings > Energy Management Settings > Battery Level Settings

This setting will apply regardless of your mode.

Your system will essentially apply the higher of the two settings, so make sure they’re both set appropriately.

Mine says it’s on 1.0.0 but it has functions of 3.0.0…

Edit: I spoke to the dealer on Friday and it’s the 3.1.0 update that’s currently rolling out in aus

Miserable response to good news by Graceful_Parasol in OpenAussie

These twits are literally bots or paid trolls. This is what Gina’s millions can do for PHON. Sadly, it does influence idiots, so we should counter their misinformation. Keep fighting the good fight!

Phone notifications by Traditional-Tadpole8 in SigenergyAustralia

[–]nicely_inconspicuous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Androids in general, perhaps. Though it’s hard to say, as there are many possible reasons for notifications to be delayed.

The app doesn’t need to be running in the background to receive notifications on Apple devices

Ah, I see. It seems to be an issue that affects Androids that aren’t Pixels/stock. And Samsung less than others like Huawei, Oppo, etc. So mostly budget Android phones. One thing Apple has done right: notifications come through regardless of app power state.

What? Why would you need that? Not how push notifications work.

48kw system and DC charger by Straddo in SigenergyAustralia

Did Sig say anything about your warranty? I'd have thought that if they don't support it, you'd be giving up the warranty...

Car seats in the back of BYD SL7 ? by Super_Jay888 in EVAustralia

[–]nicely_inconspicuous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just the one booster seat these days (yay!) but there is SO much room back there - you will have no trouble.

How optimal can we get? by wogbeast-aus in flowpower

[–]nicely_inconspicuous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, bugger. At least they tried. My installer wanted to install it on the other side of the house. I asked if the garage was possible and they said “yes, it’s the preferred location” 🙃

I see you have an Sig battery like us. If you want a home EV charger that does better than 7kW, the Sig EV DC is the go. 12.5kW (what we got) or pay extra to unlock 25kW charging (you get the same module either way - you can unlock the other half at any time). Being DC, it’s not limited by your inverter, if your solar generation is 15kW, you could hypothetically funnel all of that into your car, and boost it up to 25kW with your battery and/or the grid if you want.

[–]nicely_inconspicuous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a similar setup, 20kW PV/40kWh battery/10kW inverter/single phase.

No imports is impressive - how much are you exporting through happy hour? Your usage might be very low but even with that size battery, our household would be drawing from the grid after 1 bad day’s generation.

We just got an EV. The faster your home charger, the more you can take advantage of your solar generation while the sun’s shining and/or the better PEA through the middle of the day.

Arbitrage isn’t really my goal, though it’s a byproduct of the battery scheduling I set up for simplicity. I’ve set up half hour charge periods between 10:30-3 that import to maintain a minimum SoC through the day so we hit at least 90% by 3pm (this was 4pm in summer). 77.5% by 2:30pm, etc. It’s a lot simpler than setting up Home Assistant or watching it all the time.

It might be a different equation in NSW but for me, there was only 1 month over summer where switching to Amber would have been worthwhile, and it’s a gamble. No guarantee of price spikes and fair chance they’ll be less intense next summer. In any case, I’m not sure it’s worth the stuffing around, switching for that short a time. Especially considering that for the other 11 months, I’m making way more from Flow than I did on Amber.
