quite odd timing. why 6:30? if you are on IO, 5:30 should be your cut-off time, no?bottomed out at 5% overnight and used a bit of grid to keep it there. Slowly topping up now but not sure it'll fill today.
confused as my givenergy settings have a 1:30-6:30 timed charge set to 20% so it shouldn't have dropped below that?
It's been nasty here in Edinburgh too. We were away for most of it fortunately, but limping through just now as we are mid transition to IO so don't have any cheap time overnight .It's not just in my head... July has been really bad for solar here (South Oxfordshire). Today we're forecast 10kWh and it's rain and heavy cloud, so entirely likely. And that's it, putting it almost level with April!
Have burglars git bright enough to carry s blowtorch to melt the laminate interlayers? Can that be done?We went with PAS24 Security (Secure by Design) patio doors which included heavier frames, deadbolts, secure locks & hooks, plus 6mm laminate glass.
If you want to know the difference between standard glass, toughened glass, and laminate glass... watch the test below
I have to say Solcast's forecasts have been abysmal this month too. More often than not over estimating daily production by a fair margin.

It's not just me then? I thought it was lauded as the best thing since sliced bread, but have found it really no better than HA's default.Me too ... although I haven't reviewed the raw data I get form API - I have that data, but what I usually look at is the graph on their website (which they told me was using their old algorithm, unless it has been updated since, so the raw API data should be "better")
The raw data's accuracy does improve as the day progresses; it's the day-ahead forecast which is always too optimistic. Here's today:Me too ... although I haven't reviewed the raw data I get form API - I have that data, but what I usually look at is the graph on their website (which they told me was using their old algorithm, unless it has been updated since, so the raw API data should be "better")
Sort of. I don't touch the inverter as I don't care what that does. I bump the charge level up on the batteries when we're in an IO smart slot... and drop it back down when out of it. The IO api will tell you if you're in a smart slot, and or upcoming ones. The thing to watch in my experience is the 5:30am end of the normal smart slots... for some reason Octopus keep indicating it's a smart slot for a couple of minutes after, which if you're using that will mean a couple of minutes every day that your battery could be charging, but it shouldn't.anyone managed to automate the HA to have Inverter settings changed if IO time slot is provided?
lets say - if IO on from 1:00 - 5:30 then same time frame on inverter to be set as Battery first?

That's exactly what I use it for... but taking today, during the off peak this morning (all the way to 05:30am) it was predicting today to be 12.81kWh, so I charge the batteries to that, since then the prediction for today had steadily dropped to 7.63kWh. That's a pretty poor prediction for just 12 hours ahead. Like you, I'll not be doing anything about it, out of the cheap window, but equally I suspect I'll be absolutely fine, as batteries have enough charge even for this.I am using prediction data during my Off Peak period, in order to try to end Off Peak with "just the right battery %age" ... so if it can be right by towards-end-of-Off-Peak I'm happy ... and I'm on E7 so that gives me a lot more scope than a 00:00 - 04:00 tariff
I mostly don't care too much during the day, as my battery is in whatever SoC it is ...
