PV Opt generating negative discharge windows that don't match end time shown in UI #198

Closed ThomasPrior closed 6 months ago

Describe the bug Since the DST change I've seen a few odd charging windows.

pv_opt log output shows:

17:08:08 INFO: end : 04-Apr 17:00 BST

17:08:08 INFO: start : 04-Apr 17:07 BST

This is displayed in HomeAssistant as finishing an hour later:

The inverter receives the end time of 17:00 instead of the expected 18:00, making the discharge window -8 minutes.

Time on inverter seems to be set correctly.

Adding second log with the same behaviour.

As shown in HomeAssistant: Start 17:20 End: 18:00

As shown in logs and on inverter: Start: 17:20 End: 17:00

It could be the same thing i'm seeing in #197

Interesting, I saw what I thought to be a very poor plan for today (discharge everything, all day) and that's what led me to finding this.

Also on fixed 15p/kWh of export.

This should be fixed in 3.14.0. There's a beta version out now if you want to test it. Best wait for beta-4 actually. Fixes another couple of bugs.

Not sure these are the same. There is a "time zone" issue which I think I've fixed but I think at least part of what is happening in #197 is that there is a cost benefit to forced discharging but it's not intuitive.

Thank you again for your prompt attention on this and previous issues.
