Hi Eggo,
I think assistants will be the way to go eventually – after I have a better understanding of them.
My use case is as follows:
Primarily critical system backup. I am in a rural area at the end of a line. Anything that happens affects us, and with the low population, we are low priority.
What I want to do is go ahead and use the capacity of my batteries in times of expected good solar production. I am using weather forecasts and Solcast for predictions.
When low solar production is expected, particularly when severe weather is expected, I would like to have more reserve power. (ex. Instead of draining batteries to 20% like in times of good weather, stop ignoring grid power when they go below 80% if bad weather is expected.)
Currently, I am able to do this with different VE Configure settings I have saved, but each change is a new upload, which got me to thinking about the degradation of flash memory over time.
I think using the general flag setting, and a programmable relay to ignore/not ignore the grid AC will be what I use eventually, but I am still figuring that out.
Is there an easy/easier way you know of to this?
