Hi all

I saw this line in the latest changelog for 2023-10-03 Beta - but I dont see anything different in my instance of SA running this version - Am I missing something perhaps?

Running same version, don't see anything for automation either.

Also running this - no change from what I can see. 

Anybody get a response from support?

It's been added to the latest beta now. Looks good. 

Ran an update yesterday and didnt get the functionality. Ran the update today and the functionality now shows up

 

 

This really is a brilliant feature. It gives you granular automated functions within SA without having to use a home assistant.

I now use it to change the export mode on my Deye inverter from Zero Export to Load to Zero Export to CT only during sunlight hours.

I was under the impression that the inverter would only export excess solar power to the non-essentials, but found out that it would also export battery power up to the battery limit, as set in the time of use table. So if, for example, the oven (non-essential) was running after sundown, it would happily eat away at my batteries and possibly leave me in the dark during loadshedding! This feature now makes Zero Export to CT only available during the day when there is ample solar available to leave the batteries in peace.

Thanks again to the team at Solar Assistant, great job on this!!

Hi all

 

I updated to firmware 2023-11-26 this evening and I still dont have these options displayed.  I am reading battery values directly from by batteries though and not via the inverter - could this be why?

Inverter and Battery spec in signature.

 

NVM - Rebooted it again and now is shows up.

Tried rebooting and refreshing via app and browser but not showing at all.

Is this perhaps an inverter specific feature?

as someone in our telegram group with nickname "JE" found, in order to automation functionality to appear, we need to deactivate all old functionality from "Power" tab. after a while page will change and you will see automation functionality.

That worked - thank you

Hi, are there any plans to extend the selectable Conditions? I would like to disable the battery if SOC drops below a certain value and there ist no solar power and enable it again if solar power is available.
