NoCharge drawing from grid and not reducing current SOC to target
Describe the bug NoCharge gets set when the current SOC is above the target SOC. The plan indicates that a NoCharge costs nothing as it expects the battery to discharge down to the target SOC rather than pull from the grid. This is does not happen and the house pulls from the grid which increases the cost rather than costing zero, and the SOC remains above target.
The cause of this issues is that PauseDischarge is enabled which prevents the SOC from reducing.
Expected behavior A NoCharge state should not set a Pause Discharge as it achieves the opposite of what is needed to reduce the SOC down to target.
Predbat version
7.19.1
Environment details
- GE AIO
- Standard HAOS installer
Screenshots
You can see in the attached screenshot that the plan is to reduce SOC from 31% to target of 30%, but this can never happen as the PausedDischarge has been set.
