Beta-12 not writing to inverter?

[mergwyn]

Describe the bug I installed beta-12 yesterday but the battery did not charge overnight. The charge plan looked OK but I suspect nothing was written to the inverter. I've included the logs which cover the last 1/2 hour slot before the end of the IOG cheap rate. With the log settings I currently have my earliest log I have is during the 03:20 run. Let me know if I can provide any more information.

I've upgraded to Beta-14 but I don't see anything in the changes between 12 and 14 which should change this behaviour.

Versions HA 2024.11.0b1 Solax: 2024.11.1 pv_opt: 3.17.0-Beta-12

It looks like there is an error just before the write:

Apologies I've only just seen this.

I'm on Beta-14 with no issues but I haven't updated my Solax integration nor my Octopus integration for a long time so might be that. The log file you've included certainly shows some problems with the latter. I think you've got two seperate problems although the Octopus one is non-fatal. I'll look this evening.

Does Beta-9 run ok?

Strangely after disabling pvopt when I raised this I enabled it again yesterday after updating everything to latest versions and last night worked without issues. I’ll leave this open for 24 hours and close if all good again tonight.

When I tried it again a few days ago, I still had issues. I have pulled logs but ran out of time to update this issue before I left for a holiday. I’ll have to do it when I get back in December
