Running the house on battery only

[Gurupower]

Hello

Thanks for a great addon! Really impressed.

I've been using the addon for a couple of days, trying it out. Charging and discharging works fine.
But is there a scene allowing for the house to run on battery alone?
Currently there is no sun here (too much snow), and I would like the battery to take care of the load at certain hours.
The sungrow app has this setting, to when use the battery.

I was expecting the scene "Sungrow Set Self-Consumption Limited Discharge" to do the job, but the battery is not discharging.

I can of course use the "Sungrow Set Battery Forced Discharge", but then the discharge does not reflect the load.
What am I missing?

The default self-consumption mode should handle this just fine, if the battery is actually charged. Since there's no sun, what's charging your battery?
If you want to charge from the grid, you'll have to use forced charging mode or scheduled forced charging (currently not implemented here, you can do it via iSolarCloud, see this comment and a few after it.

Thanks for your response @Gnarfoz!

Charging the battery is currently done in two ways.
Force Charge with the scene Force Charge from the previous post, or force charge by schedule in the iSolarCloud app.

I notice when I Schedule the discharge through the iSolarCloud app the system tries to level with the import, but as soon as I am out from the schedule time, it will no longer discharge (no matter of SOC).
I have not yet found if there is a setting overroling the schedule?
How is this done by others, ei how can I ignore the time set from the iSolar Cloud app?
