My consumption forecast seems way off of late. Some 1/2 hours with no consumption at all. This is messing with the DESS schedule.

I chose to reset the consumption forecast and solar forecast, thinking it would at least provide a forecast of some description even if not based on historic data.

The forecast is 0 for both consumption and solar. So not much use for scheduling DESS.

Any ideas what’s going on?

That’s normal when you just reseted it. It will start with a vague 24/7 flat forecast maybe tomorrow and then gain precision over time again.
