    Thanks Solarchaser, will the threshold adjustment keep the low load performance of the inverter and just adjust the top end when under high load conditions? I'll have a look for the email  :smiley:

    It should be just the export being curtailed, it should be the same at low and high load conditions really

    Re: uHome batteries wrongly reporting charge level:

    Apparently there is now a software/firmware upgrade to correct this.  More to come when I have it installed.

    I heard about it through my installer (who is going to do the update), although no sign of the actual update yet.  When it appears I will ask how / where he got it from and report back.

    If you download the Aoboet app you can register and then scan each of the barcodes on the batteries to see what they are doing.

    Contacted lux yesterday evening on info@luxpowertek.com, got an email from them at 12 today for Shahin to resolve and by 1 oclock my controller has been updated. From initial view when the sun comes out the export has been significantly curtailed. Thankyou Solarchaser and also to very speedy response by lux.

    I'm currently on v1.2.9 on my UHome batteries - if there is a newer firmware version I'll also be interested to know how to get them updated.
