Thank you, it seems that that could be the only solution. Thank you everyone

Thank you guys for the replies thus far. Dankie meerkat, sien my wiskunde my bietjie in die steek gelaat 😆 As soon as I change the energy pattern to "Battery First" I don't have the problem of my battery being drained by 40w, but then the battery gets charged first when pv comes online, and all the load gets fed by Grid power. I want to minimize my grid usage and let the pv help until pv is more than usage in house, and then only charge the battery. That can be done by "Load First", but then I have above mentioned issue...

Hi It draws about 40w the whole time. I have no time of use active. For example, if my load is 600w, it will take 540w from grid and 40w from battery. Hope it makes more sense. Let me know if you need more settings.

Hi Guys I recently upgraded to deye 8kw with dyness 4.8 battery and 18 panels. I have more solar than consumption and not selling solar to grid or non essentials at this stage. I disabled grid charge. I then noticed that as soon as pv comes on it chargers battery instead of using pv for consumption. I then changed priority to "load first" so that pv helps with consumption and only charge when I have more pv than what I consume. My problem now is that through the night it concurrently uses about 40W from my battery leaving me with low battery after load shedding through the night. Our area has load shedding at 22:00 and then at 06:00 the next morning for example. I managed to get myself authorized so that I can change all settings from app or web, but I don't get why it is concurrently drawing from battery even with Grid up and running. I thought of getting deye to update firmware, but read a post yesterday on this forum, and with no change log I don't know if this is bug or not. TBH, I am a bit reluctant to upgrade firmware. Hope anyone can assist, thank you in advance
