Scheduler time confusion

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

Might be worth checking the time shown on your inverter screen to make sure it is correct, and double check on the Foxesscloud website that the scheduler is set the way you expect it in case your phone/app is setting it incorrectly. (on the website, Inverter Details screen click the blue box next to Work mode in Energy Flow to show the scheduler)

To delete an entry swipe it left and a delete option will show.

I set it on the web interface and it seems to work as expected. Strangely, I checked the app and the times are the same I set using the app. Very odd.

Thanks for the delete help!
