    Tbh mate it's just a guess.
    I'll know tomorrow if it's worked, and if so I'll mess about while it's running to make sure it is that causing it

    Interesting.. I have mine set at 80%.. is there a way to check or do I have to just watch it .. not likely tomorrow looking at my forecast !
    "system charge power rate" is your pv charge rate and "AC charge power rate" is your grid charge rate.
    Just noticed my ac rate has been set back to 100%. I set it to 50% a while ago.

    Jeezo, what else have they removed from the app ?? 🤦
    That screenshot was from the web portal settings.
    I see system charge rate is still available on the app in local connect mode though.

    My App on iPhone still has "System" and "grid charge power rate" ?

    The Android version seems to be missing system charge rate when connected over the net but it's still there in local mode when you connect your device directly to the data logger.

    So for those interested, I charged up a few kwh in the low cost period last night, and reduced ac charge rate to 50% at 1700w.

    Today, low and behold the charge rate is 1700w from solar and exporting


    Changed ac charge rate back to 100 and normal charging resumes


    I'll ping Canhao an email
