I just logged into the app using local connect and the time hadn't changed automatically, I've just changed it manually. Will keep an eye on it in case it decides to take another hour off itself later.

Interesting mine does not seem to have changed either.. can it be set without direct connection?

I'm guessing you can set it directly on the inverter but don't quote me on that?

I have just been on the web portal under Configuration and it looks like it thinks we're still in daylight savings time:



So by manually changing the time I've probably screwed it up for when it does catch up and turns DST off?

Looks like the time setting only appears on the app in local mode.

Taking battery discharged over battery charged my efficiency is 82% with around 10kwh useable pylontech on each lux. 

Pylontech tend to be totally linear up to about 93-95% when they decide they are full pretty quickly 

Mine seem pretty linear until 88% .. where they pause then after a while jump to almost full ?

Yes, same behaviour here. I'm guessing this is due to cell balancing.

I'm wondering if there's been some issue with time servers.
Our Zappi EV charger also uses the cloud to deal with DST and it put it's time back by an hour last Sunday instead of today.
They released a firmware update to fix it the other day.

Ours now shows DST off .....

Same here - and the time is still correct when I do a local connect 🤔 Maybe it only does a time sync once a day and so it's now turned DST off and also pushed the correct time... Will have to keep an eye on it later!

I think it's 12H(ish) late and right now it is "catching up" by freezing its time for an hour and hopefully will be normal from 2pm or 2:30...

Yeah: mine stopped refreshing the graphs at 13:32 "old" time and the next time stamp just showed up now at 13:34 "new/correct" time, so should be okay from now.
