At a friend of mine, the complete consumption forecast has disappeared from DESS, causing consumption from grid instead of battery during nighttime.

This is both with the latest official release as with the latest beta release (v3.60~68).

What can I do to fix this?

Can you share the vrm id of the site so I can check? That is the 5 or 6 digit number in the vrm url.

The algorithm was disturbed when an ac current sensor for pv was configured on 21-4 in veconfigure but not yet connected.

The current sensor was connected one day later.

Any news on this?

Here is the thing that causes the wrong forecast due to the pv config before connecting the ac measurement coil I think:

An option to reset consumption forecast could solve this problem

And also tomorrow, almost no consumption forecasted. Currently the grid is used because dess discharged the battery almost to soc minimum. So now the solar energy sold is bought back at a higher price, there goes the profit again. 😢

Any news on this?

Can a reset consumption forecast button be added to the vrm portal?

Can you reset consumption forecast for me?

I’ve asked, but there are some technical challenges, which I won’t go into.

I lack the rights to do that, but also passed the request through.
