I hope you mean ‘phase in’ not ‘phase out’ with that. For a practical example of the use case see also this topic with data from today: Another Strange DESS behaviour - #13 by UpCycleElectric
If not, I would be very interested in an evaluation of my workaround and some guidance on how Victron would propose to solve the ‘issue’ that it represents. (or re-evaluate the decision not to bring this feature to VRM DESS).
Maybe you plan to enable the scheduled charge levels to work in combination with DESS? And I’d love to learn more about (or even participate in) the efforts to incorporate ‘predictive pricing’ beyond the ‘known prices’ into the schedule forecast data. A pricing forecast window longer than the current 24 to 48 hours, even if less accurate beyond the actual known pricing window, could also solve a lot of the missed trading opportunity issues as it could prevent the rather stubborn behaviour to target minimum SoC at end of the same day (or next day after new prices roll in). Awell, many ways to skin a cat I guess, looking forward to the new developments, it is still very early in the DESS development space.
