Lux ac battery controller

@chainreaction not sure how long its been happening, the SOC above is set to 100% and if I try to alter this one I get error 03 and nothing changes.

Anyone have an idea why the inverter is not using the batteries when there is this low demand overnight.  As you can see there is power being drawn from the grid even though the SOC on the batteries is in the high 90s %
TIA

Can you post your account charge and priority charge settings

Of course here you go

Ok the question was because the screenshot showed the value at 0%, which seemed strange but I don't know what it does as it's not on the ACS inverter. Do you have a value in the CT offset?

@chainreaction, no idea what the CT offset is so Im guessing not

The CT Power Offset, to give it its full description, changes the value of power your inverter sees. So if you constantly export say 50w, you can reduce the amount of constant export (as measured by your smart meter/in home display) by applying a -40w "offset". If you constantly import and want to export then you use a +ve value. The value is changed via the web portal under the first maintenance heading "Application".

It is set to "0"... everytime I change it says OK but then still "0" when I check again.  OH well thanks anyway

Ok I don't understand why it won't change. I would email info@luxpowertek.com and ask them why you can't change the value and why your inverter is not supporting the 200w consumption when it should. Give them your serial number.

@philologus I'll PM them to you later today (one or the other) if I am able.

Doubt if I have an email address all done via fleabay from memory.

Anyone tried using the different settings for the System charge pwer rate and the Grid charge power rate. 

For me setting grid charge power rate to 50% also appears to limit system charge power rate too to 50% even though i have system charge to 100%.

Think altering either seems to change both because I think I've done it the opposite way to you with same results.

Thank you. I finally got a reply and we are currently trying to figure out what is wrong.
