An update:
I’ve been experimenting a bit more and noticed some strange behavior in the schedule. The schedule doesn’t work as you would intuitively expect it to, or as it needs to.
.
I actually wanted to set the schedule for tomorrow morning, when I suddenly see that charging with the set value is starting after all!
.
For testing purposes, I set a time window in between to [Peak], as electricity may be expensive at that time and I want to feed it in.
Charging via the grid suddenly stops, even though a time window with [Off-Peak] is currently valid.
For me, this is clearly an error in the EP600 logic!
.
For testing purposes, I delete the time window, which should actually be ignored.
Charging via the grid stops, even though a time window with [Off-Peak] is currently valid.
For me, this is clearly another error in the EP600 logic!
.
One last attempt: I set the first time slot (from 00:00) to [Peak].
Charging via the grid starts again, and the current time slot with [Off-Peak] is still valid.
Why [Peak] is allowed at the very beginning but not in between, and why there can be no gap, is incomprehensible.
For me, this is clearly another error in the EP600 logic!
.
The idea, as described in the documentation, would be to buy electricity (charge = [off-peak]) when it is cheap.
But feed electricity back into the grid when it is expensive [peak].
But how is that supposed to work if there is no time window with [peak] in between, or no gap in the schedule?
.
Now in winter, I don’t want to feed any electricity back into the grid; I want to buy it when it is cheap, i.e., when everyone else is feeding it back (around noon). At the moment, however, I see absolutely no setting option that would allow me to be on [off-peak] for just a few hours at noon and not the rest of the time…
.
Now that it’s already past midnight, I see another error in the schedule. I set the time slot from 00:00 to [Peak] so that charging stops at midnight → it does NOT (!) charge continuously, regardless of whether it is [Off-Peak] or [Peak].
.
OK, I want to stop charging, so I turn off [Time of Use], but [Charge From Grid] is still on.
Charging stops as desired, BUT (!) from now on, the battery takes a “break”; it is still switched on and the SOC (38%) is above SOC Low (35%). Nevertheless, the house is powered exclusively by the grid and not by the battery. Why?
So I also have to deactivate [Charge From Grid], even though charging has stopped anyway. But otherwise the battery remains in “pause” mode and does not supply any power to the house ???
.
To be honest, I would say that the loading/unloading management via the schedule is a complete mess.
