I did not (manually) set any schedule (yet), just trying to figure out how DESS populates/stacks/rotates those schedules.
I did however just set the system to ‘Keep batteries charged’ right before reading these schedule values. I assume that is why it outputs the negative of 8.
I am trying to find a more suitable way to temporarily force charging than switching the ESS state (to keep batteries charged) as shown in the flow here: Phasing out the Node-RED Dynamic ESS implementation - #8 by UpCycleElectric
Questions:
- Can I do the same as you say gui does: read schedule 1: day and write the negative thereof to schedule 1: day and setting target SoC sufficiently high?
- How do I reverse/end force charging, simply reverse day to a positive value again and write current SoC to target SoC?
- Is there a better solution that ‘messes’ less with DESS normal operation? A more suitable setting that I missed?
- What (and when) triggers DESS to update the schedules (back to regular operation) after manual/automated intervention to force charging?
