Our installer kindly updated our system to V3.51 yesterday.

We are UK based, using the Octopus Flux tariff. I have manually been exporting to the grid between 16:00-19:00 using the “Sell” mode within Dynamic ESS because I’ve not found the “Auto” setting to work particularly well in our location. (By not working particularly well, being specific, the solar forecasting for our location - Chester, Cheshire, UK is often very inaccurate)

After updating to 3.51 yesterday as per attached screenshot, the “Buy” & “Sell” options are now missing from the menu list.

Only the options of “Auto” & “Off” are available.

I tried the Auto setting @17:30 (SOC was about 80% at the time) and nothing happened, no export up to and past 19:00.

I tried dropping the grid setpoint to -6000W and that didn’t do anything either.

Has the “Buy” & “Sell” been removed intentionally or is there another issue with our system?

It has been removed intentionally. Last version it was in was 3.33 or 3.34 large.

Thanks @Ton_Gans , but why?

I use it daily, how can we manually export?

Apart from high export rates on the Octopus Flux tariff between 16:00-19:00, we get random weather related periods when we can also benefit from high export rates that I also do manually.
