hi
I've spent a week and setup HA automating surplus solar to go to tesla first (by altering the Tesla amperage by HA) but every time it kicks in, fox keeps fighting it and tries to prioritise battery over Tesla. Is there any mode you can introduce on fox so that it does not "fight" HA?
What happens if you set the Fox inverter to charge or discharge at 1W?intotheuniverse2020 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2026 11:09 am hi

What work mode is the Inverter in when it is fighting your Tesla charger?
ETA: I do see the work mode listed in the thread title, and Self-use will always try to fill up your battery.
It should respect the house demand though, and depending on how you have the Tesla charger wired up, it will either see the load or it will be invisible.

thanks for the replies
yes, it's in self use mode
wrt "What happens if you set the Fox inverter to charge or discharge at 1W?" - should I try that on self use mode setting? is that through another mode?
sorry I thought I set the email notification for these replies but for some reason didn't get it so just saw your replies..
it's weird, it works beautifully for a few minutes then the next time I check, it's back to just prioritising charging the battery..
it's really annoying coz we are in and out of the house so we really wanted to maximise the use of the surplus solar to prioritise while the car's plugged into teslas wall connector.

Just set work mode to schedule and make a new schedule for the time you don't want the battery to fight your Tesla.intotheuniverse2020 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2026 3:55 am should I try that on self use mode setting? is that through another mode?
