I have enabled DESS green mode yesterday.
And for today it plans to sell for some reason.
It’s winter and there is no solar so why it sells at all (Green mode should not do this unless you solar production is more than consumption)
And at 18:00 it started to sell???
It seems that it follows the SOC because it overestimated the load and now there is more in the battery than it thinks. And therefore he need to get rid of that energy???
If so then that Green mode is very flawed 
I have disabled DESS because it is not usable in this way.
I can sell to grid and want that system sells sulprus solar to grid in summer time.
And it is cheating when I disable it in winter. System should know that selling to grid in winter time with “green mode” is not allowed, period 
And there is no clear explanation why system decided to sell from battery to grid in the first place?
I do not see any reason for that
These are two different settings!!!
I also sell PV surplus in summer:
But I don’t sell from battery to grid, see screenshot above.
These two settings in combination with dognoses Hack will do what you want (so I think)
I already have “charge battery from grid restrictions” enabled. So I can not enable “discharge battery to grid restrictions” at the same time
Today morning for testing enabled dess again and it started to export.
But can someone explain why does my DESS want to achieve the situation that battery is at minimum SOC at the end of the day???
Why?
DESS only plans as long as prices are known and tries to get by without using the grid until then. The rest is sold to make profit.
In the morning, prices are only known until 23:59, so the battery is used until then to supply all loads. The rest is sold as long as you do not disable discharging the battery into the grid.
As soon as the prices for the next day arrive in the afternoon, a new plan is made. The planning for the evening may then look completely different.
My energy transportation prices vary from time and weekday.
And as dess does not allow different prices for different days/hours I have eliminated charging in more costly hours/days and only allowed in the night when there is the best transportation prices.
My transportation prices lowest is 4 cents and highest is 9 cents.
My electricity price is nordpool and that is managed by dess automatically.
why the hell does it sell in “green mode” this should be in “trade mode”
“green mode” should be so that buy as little as possible from the grid at the best price if needed.
OK, I see. I also don’t understand why Victron only allows us to deactivate either charging from grid or discharging the battery to grid and not both together.
Perhaps this would be possible via Node-RED with the victron-vrm-api. You can also adjust all DESS settings via Node-RED. You could try this.

The problem is that DESS predicts a target SOC and refuses to divert from it. For example, the target SOC was 80 yesterday, but before the hour was over, it has already reached 80 and there was still excess solar energy. Instead of putting it in the battery, it just sold it, even when on green mode.
This is prevented by dognose’s hack
But in my case there was no solar at all. It just wanted to sold it. And I assume the same that it overestimated that I will use more consumption. And if the real soc and calculated target soc difference were too big it want’s to sold it.
What I do not understand is why does it not recalculate the soc every hour and take account the current soc.
Then it will not drift away from the real life values
I configured DESS that it can not sell to grid and now tomorrow looks like this
But as I do not like it then I will use my own node-red implementation that will use GridSetpoint and will charge around 30kWh from the grid (some of it will go to direct use and some of it to battery)
Lets wait and see what DESS will think of it tomorrow morning then
