Before the questions, a huge thank you for this - really helps running the system.

Q1. It seems to me that the refresh rate is at least 30 seconds - is this controlled by the self-run parameter? It's not clear to me the meaning and recommended usage

Q2. What is the difference between the SOC parameters go "Reserve Power" and "Cutoff". My aim is to retain (say) 50% battery charge ready for my utilities peak tariff period so I have a timer set to drop it to 10% 5 mins before that starts. I tried today and despite it being set to 10, checked just now and I'm sat at 4%. That was after setting the reserve parameter.

I have swapped the automation to "Cutoff" now and will see if that works, but I hate trial and error as I worry about messing something that matters up and would prefer to understand what each available parameter is meant to do.

Thanks
