Question about deye time of use power settings
I have 4 geysers on the essentials circuit of my deye 8kw inverter. They use wi-fi DB board timers to ensure they don't come on simultaneously. For power outages, I have a home assistant automation that does the following- If grid is off AND battery discharge is above a threshold for 5min AND battery state of charge is below 50% then I turn all geysers off and send myself a notification. I very seldom have issues tripping the inverter by overload but it has happened so I'm planning to add an automation to turn geysers off if essentials circuit is drawing over 8 kW for a few seconds. Inverter seems to handle it for a bit and then overloads.

Deye Inverter with KellerZA Sunsynk integration - not updating Use Timer
Thanks for the feedback, ck. No, no rogue automations. In fact, this seemed to "fix itself" at some point since my above post. No idea... just started working 🤔 Anyway, I'm glad of that because this works really well at keeping the battery charged if it's going to be a low sun day... and then on the sunny days I take the batteries way down overnightso I can store all the excess solar. Works nicely. Just out of interest, you say you use the SOC tables ... do you modify them with an automation based on anticipated solar production? I've considered that but haven't worked out the logic I'd use yet...

Deye Inverter with KellerZA Sunsynk integration - not updating Use Timer
Hi all I've been using the great KellerZA Sunynk integration with my Deye 8Kw inverter for a while. It's a brilliant integration and I've had an automation set up to prevent battery discharge overnight if there's not going to be much solar production the next day. Sweet. However, recently I noticed that not working because, it seems, the integration is not able to change the "Use Timer" value. So it reads the value fine from the inverter but when I flip the slider it doesn't change the inverter setting. The slider basically flips for a second then flips back again (obviously updating itself from the unchanged inverter setting). I've googled a bit and looked at a few logs but don't know where to start debugging this. Bottom line seems to be that the integration can "read" from the inverter but not "write" back to it. Where do I start?

Deye Time Of Use Settings
Yes, I found it for mine. There is "Grid peak shaving" on the "System Work Mode" menu page 1.... but there is also "Gen peak shaving" on the "Advanced Settings" ->Advanced Func page 1. That was "on" for me (probably because I was mucking about getting my generator to work) and when I switched it off, "Time of Use" toggle started working again. Yay!

Deye Time Of Use Settings
Did this work for you? I have the same issue - I switch "Time of Use" off and "commit" it with the tick. If I got out of the screen and back to the main screen when I return it is on again. Have tried turning Grid Peak shaving on and off. Have adjusted my time of use settings so they start and end at 00:00. Nothing seems to work. It used to work. The only major changes I've made since then are setting up a generator.... wonder if it's something there that's mucking with it. Any other suggestions?
