Hello!
Is it possible to enable and change the "Scheduled Charging" feature in ESS via modbus or other remote interface?
I am using awattar.de as Energy Provider and i want to charge my battry wht the energy price is on lowest state.
Thanks
Dennis

Activate/Set Schduled Charging via Modbus
i'm also looking for this feature, It would be nice if Victron can develop it. Or is there any other way to programmatically configure these settings ?
You can use mqtt to get and set the actual settings -> processing could be made via node-red or other automation systems.
For instance:
N/*************/system/0/Control/ScheduledCharge,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/0/Day,-1
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/0/Duration,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/0/Soc,100
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/0/Start,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/1/Day,-1
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/1/Duration,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/1/Soc,100
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/1/Start,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/2/Day,-1
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/2/Duration,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/2/Soc,100
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/2/Start,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/3/Day,-1
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/3/Duration,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/3/Soc,100
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/3/Start,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/4/Day,-1
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/4/Duration,0
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/4/Soc,100
N/*************/settings/0/Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/4/Start,0
I am not using scheduled charging, so my values are default.

Hi @pauldeg
Basically I'm using the following PowerShell command lines:
$SSHcommand = 'dbus -y com.victronenergy.settings /Settings/CGwacs/BatteryLife/Schedule/Charge/1/Day SetValue -- -7'
echo y | &($SSHplinkpath + "plink.exe") -pw $SSHpassword $SSHusername@$SSHservername $SSHcommand
"plink.exe" is an external tool from Download PuTTY - a free SSH and telnet client for Windows
replace the corresponding variables $SSHservername, $SSHusername and $SSHpassword with your context.
the value "-7" instruct to disable the charge. If you set "7" (without the minus), this will enable the charge.
Don't forget to enable the SSH on the Victron and set a SSH password
Hope this will help :-)
