✓ Negative-price protection: when the wholesale price goes negative, the system soaks the surplus into the battery instead of selling at a loss — normal exporting resumes as prices recover.

EV Charge Control

Tronielmino ⚡ AUTO
—
16A≈3.7 kW
5–32 A via the Fleet API · the controller applies it within ~15 s · grid import is held under the TAS97 8.5 kW line: the home battery covers the excess, the car is trimmed only if it cannot · the 80 % cap is lifted for the hold window · peak-window starts work after a confirm (grid is dear at peak).
BYD Shark 🦈 AUTO
—
16A≈3.7 kW
6–30 A on the Wall Connector pilot (IEC floor is 6 A — it can cap, never stop; unplug for a true stop) · applied within seconds · the Shark itself decides when to draw · Start also clears the BYD schedule-stop · grid import held under the TAS97 8.5 kW line (home battery covers the excess; the pilot is trimmed only if it cannot).

Outage Watch

Outage watch — weather-based backup planning

— Checking the forecast…
We read the weather forecast for this address and the Bureau of Meteorology's warnings. When damaging wind, thunderstorms or an official severe-weather warning is coming, the battery is filled beforehand (off-peak) and held so the house has backup if the grid drops. Otherwise the whole battery works for you.
