Problem with assistants ignoring AC input

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi all,

A while back I installed 2 Multipluss II’s in single phase parallel configuration.

They have been working well, however I created an assistant to ignore AC 1 input until the batteries were down to 20% and then to keep it on until they charged to 40%.

I have since become aware that they reach 19% SOC and the AC input kicks in, but as soon as they reach 20% it kicks off again.

This is annoying my customer hearing the transfer clunk on and off frequently first thing in the morning when they turn a lot of load on without much solar.

Can anyone suggest where I may have made an error?

I have attached the program that I uploaded to both inverters.

Thanks

Hi Paul, welcome.

Maybe screenshot the assistant config.
Mobile users will struggle to open the attachment.

Thanks

Its way easier to do it in node red.

Did you use this one?

If there is not actual generator being started by the system UI you can implement this idea or any one from.the thread.

Here is a screenshot of the assistant summary for the setup. I’m using the programmable relays 2 & 3 as a dump load to the hot water system.

It may be, but I have never used node red before. Was hoping it would just work, the logic isn’t very compliocated

Split your conditions into separate conditions (not combined). If you combine them, both have to be true for the condition to be met.

Or remove the higher load one for now.
