Are you using this part of solar assistant to control sbu/sub switching ?

Yes. I have tried to it in the past, but it wasn't intuitive as to how it worked. I am now really trying to figure out exactly how it works as I have my system configured (Batteries in EG4/USE and running comms cable to inverter).
If I can use it to switch between SBU and SUB modes I can modify how it runs to avoid system upsets while running in SUB mode with batteries fully charged when the sun comes up (also while trying to maintain the batteries at a high SOC in anticipation of utility power outages).
Last night I set it to switch from SBU to SUB at 90% at 8:00 PM and at 2:00 AM, then back to SBU at 5% higher (95%). After seeing it go through first the cycle successfully three times starting just before 8:00 PM (I am still not clear on exactly what the time has to do with this), I deactivated the program and changed it to switch from SBU to SUB at 80% at 2:00 AM, and again to switch back to SBU at 5% higher (85%).
I ran one 1500W space heater, on at all times, to make the load part of the test predictable.
This morning I saw that it had gone from SBU to SUB 4 times overnight, with the last cycle being caught in the SUB mode when the sun came up and batteries being charged at 60A on the way from 80% to 85% SOC. The batteries were at 84% at the time of the switch from SUB to SBU at the first hint of power coming from PV and nothing bad happened.
The PV output was intermittent for about 30-minutes, and the system cycled between SBU and SUB one more time. I let the SOC reach 85% and watched the switch back to SBU as the sun came up and the SOC decreased back to 84% while running on batteries with low PV. At that point, SBU used Utility power to maintain the SOC at 84% with Setting 16 set to SNU.
When the sun came up and PV output exceeded the loads, Grid power went to 0W, Solar covered the load and started charging the battery. At 8:50 AM, solar is covering everything and batteries are at 88% SOC on the way to 100%.
The benefit to me to make this work as a workaround to running in SUB mode all the tike, is that I can manage the whole process remotely with Solar Assistant.
