And your system (pv) charge rate is still saying 100%.
That's mad !! 🤔

Yeah its really weird.

Just noticed my feed in grid is disabled and also set to 0%.
No idea what it's for but maybe worth trying turning yours off ??

I'm on android too.
What version you on ?

Version 11 on a Samsung s20

Edit there was an update available for the lux app yesterday so I updated.

That's odd, mine is 2.2.3.
What happens if you change the ac rate on the web portal ?

Haha I've realised now you were asking for app version rather than android version, yeah im on 2.2.3 🙈

Mine is set to Enable but feed in grid power 0% I guess if set to 0% it wont matter is enabled or disabled

I wonder if Canhao has left lux?
I got a reply from the info email address that they had fixed it.... what they actually did was activate priority charge which charges the batteries when there is any solar.... not after house loads, just when there is solar,  so I actually imported this morning while charging batteries 🤦‍♂️

They also set the system to top out at 50% charging power.... I've stopped communicating with them, I wouldn't expect a solution any time soon 🙁

I noticed my max output had dropped from 3.5kw (it's actually 70a at a nominal 50v so 3.5 not 3.6) down to 3.1 on both systems.
Contacted lux and they have apparently adjusted it back, though no answer about why it was turned down.

Might be worth checking yours out lads n lassies

On the plus side, I told lux I was constantly importing 100w for the last week, and they sorted it, I now import nothing.
Now yeah it's likely I'm exporting a bit, but I'm happy to do that since I have a large bank, I much prefer to export 3 kw throughout the day than import it.

So pretty happy with my lux right now

Most nights I have this short anomalous random discharge from my battery, the time varies.. anyone else seeing this and any suggestions as to what maybe triggering it?

Fridge?
Hot water?
something electrical locking in to fire something else e.g boiler?

It is quite a high "pull"... 1.3 kWh
Boiler off, yes I have fridges but they are running 24/7 so I wouldn't expect this surge?  Hot water is a possibility but not likely as it is heated with a proportional controller that maybe is triggering it but if it was the immersion it would be  3 kWh and for a much longer duration?
