Scheduler time confusion
Posted: Sun May 04, 2025 10:03 am
Hi All
New PV installation with a FoxESS inverter and battery, just got the email from Octopus so we're all set to export. I used the mode scheduler in the FoxCloud 2.0 app to set force discharge from 16:00 until 18:59 (we're on Octopus Flux), but checking what actually happened, accoring to the app, was that the the force discharge happened an hour later. between 17:00 and 19:59. Is this a UTC/BST thing, when you set the force charge times, for some reason it's in UTC but everywhere else in the app, it's displayed in local time (currently BST)?
Supplementary question, how do you delete an entry from the mode scheduler? There's no delete icons anywhere that I can see, long press doesn't give any extra options either?
Cheers
Steve
