A quick update.
Loving the Victron gear, so glad I went for it, but my oh my is it easy to fiddle and b0rk it.
Accidently update the Venos OS to 3.31, all I wanted to do was check for an update, fat finger moment and b00m, downloading and updating, no "Are you really sure" prompts.
Anyways, all good, not broken it. But I dearly want to try Node Red and automate the Octopus Agile cheaper times (Alas, Node Red is unsupported) despite Victron having a decent implementation path and having videos how to do it. Its a manual process right now.
I wish they had some sort of virtual environment you could tinker with
A few more milestones today:
Just ticked over 7.0 kWh out of a forecasted 7.4, not bad for a coupla 575w panels
Grid power, based on cheap kWh from Octopus on agile.
Battery hovering around 93% after a coupla mid day boosts, I now charge to around 95% during mid day runs so that Solar can cover the rest, tonight looks like wind is down a bit so cba faffing around and will do a midnight to 7am "burn"
So, that idea didnt last long. 5p is 5p damn it.
