Forced discharge not reverting to Self Use

Hello. I have a Forced discharge scheduled for 4pm each day, stopping at 30%. It's working fine, but once the battery reaches it's target the system starts importing from the grid instead of using the battery. This is therefore importing at peak rate.

The system does not return to the default Self Use settings. I can get round it by adding another self use session, but surely the default should kick in.

Your help would be welcome for a newbie!

Do you have a KH inverter ?, the expected behaviour is that it should fall back to Self Use when fdsoc met, it is a bug introduced (from memory I think in 1.52 firmware).

It is supposed to be being corrected in new firmware but i've not heard any positive reports so far that it has.

Hopefully someone that has experienced the problem will respond and confirm.

Thanks. I have a Fox H1 3.7 inverter. My temporary workaround of creating brief Self Use session stops the grid importing but I have to adjust it every darn day.

Hi, I've got a KH7 inverter on 1.58 and noticed the same issue recently. I've contacted the UK support team but was told "the system cannot automatically switch back to Self Use mode during that period" I know it did up to last week. It's really annoying having to sit and watch for when it gets down to the FD SOC % and then manually add a Self Use schedule.
