DESS: Not showing correct fixed price hours

Q&A and troubleshooting DESS

Hi!

I recently set up a system with the following components: 4 MPPTs, a Cerbo GX, a Multiplus, and a Pylontech battery. Everything is functioning as expected, but I’m having an issue with the fixed price times, which are not displayed correctly.

I’ve set the correct timezone in the Cerbo GX, and I can see the local time correctly displayed on both the display and console. I also updated the location in my VRM portal to match the actual location of my home, and both the local time in the VRM portal and the console are synced, so everything seems to be configured properly.

The issue I’m facing is that the times displayed in the DESS are one hour ahead of the fixed price times I’ve set. I’m unsure if I should configure the times using UTC, as I don’t know how the system will handle daylight saving time changes. If I set the times in UTC, will I need to manually adjust them twice a year when the clocks change for daylight saving time in Spain (from UTC+1 to UTC+2 and back)?

I’ve attached two images for reference. The first shows the fixed price times I’ve configured, and the second shows the graph with the incorrect times displayed in the DESS.

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I just created an account to acknowledge this issue and follow this thread . I have the same behavior in Belgium where now it is UTC+1. My fix was to manually offset the time in the fixed price settings. However this will indeed make it so that I need to change them again when the winter time sets in.

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one experiencing this issue. For now, I’ve ended up doing the same as you, but I really hope someone from Victron can fix this in a future update.

Thanks!
