Quick Actions
Adds Quick Charge and Quick Discharge buttons to the home page. Each button forces a 1-hour charge or discharge from the grid at the configured power level, then automatically reverts to normal operation. Requires exclusive inverter control — disable any cloud integration (Octopus, Predbat) first.
£ Tariff & Costs
Tariff Source
API sources fetch rates automatically. Rates can still be edited manually at any time.
Set your energy rates to see live cost estimates on the home screen. Standing charge is added as a fixed daily amount.
Time-of-use rates
Define up to 3 time windows with separate import and export rates (e.g. peak / off-peak / overnight). The flat rates above apply outside any defined window. Supports overnight windows that cross midnight.

System
Sync the inverter’s internal clock to the server time. Useful after a power cut — clock drift breaks scheduler rules and corrupts history timestamps.

⏱ Schedule
Scheduler
Baseline mode
Baseline SOC reserve 4%
When on, rules apply at each half-hour. Times with no rule fall back to the baseline mode. No inverter slots are modified — the scheduler sends the same commands as the manual controls. The SOC reserve is restored to the baseline value when no rule is active.
Rules
Add rule
Times run in 30-minute blocks. The end must be at least one block after the start.
