Grid task

A grid task executes an action when the production status of the electricity grid changes.

📋 Overview​

With a grid task an action is triggered based on the production status of the grid: overproduction (supply greater than demand) or underproduction (demand greater than supply). You set which status triggers the task and define what action is performed.

🎛️ Possibilities​

Type​

You set what type of task you are adding. In this case Grid.

Condition​

You set at which production status of the grid the task is triggered:

  • Grid condition: Choose the production status that triggers the task:
    • Underproduction: The task is triggered when demand is greater than supply.
    • Overproduction: The task is triggered when supply is greater than demand.

Action​

You choose an actuator or automation on which the task performs an action. The available actions depend on the actuators and automations available in the installation.

Tariff switcher:

  • Tariff: Set the tariff to Low/Off-peak or High/Peak.

Switches:

  • State: Select the desired state. Depending on the type of switch, different states are possible, e.g. Off, On, Normal, High, Max.
  • Keep in this state for a minimum duration: Enable this to keep the device in the selected state for at least a set duration. Other tasks cannot change the state during this lock period. Set the Minimum duration (in minutes).

Power curtailment:

  • State: Select the desired state for power curtailment (Off, On).
  • Power: When enabled, set the desired power using the slider (0–100%).

Charge/discharge control:

  • State: Select the desired state for the battery (Off, Discharge, Charge).
  • Power: When discharging or charging, set the desired power using the slider (depending on the battery capacity).

Automations:

  • State: Select whether the automation becomes Active or Paused.
