Those of you with free nights with Centerpoint, how are you setting time based control? I've seen a few questions on this and don't see any fixes, and I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
I'm on free nights, and want to grid charge the powerwalls offpeak (grid charging is on). I have to manually change my reserve to 100% at off-peak, and back to time based before peak. Otherwise, it tries to rely on the grid as little as possible and doesn't charge the PWs above reserve if it thinks it can charge from solar the next day.
I've tried playing with the prices, but no luck. I've tried adding some cost to the offpeak, but doesn't seem to make a difference. I really wish I could see what the algorithm was planning daily.
Goal
- Charge powerwalls to 100% during off peak
- Rely on solar and powerwalls during peak
I don't believe I can automate this yet, as the APIs for powerwall 3 aren't fully known.
