Please note, the octopus flux feature is still currently in the beta testing stages.


To use this Octopus Flux live price feature, you need to follow the below steps.


Step 1 - Login to your Sunsynk Connect portal or app.


Step 2 - On the main dashboard (plant list), select the more (...) next the the plant and then select Edit.



Step 3 - Next select Revenue Info and then select Live Price.




Step 4 - Select Octopus Flux as the Provider and set your SOC percentage for your Import and Export.


Info - For the Import (Time 1) and Export (Time 2), the start and end time is already preset to the best for value times for import and export. 
The SOC for Import is the percentage you want to charge your batteries up to from the grid between the start and end time.
The SOC for Export is the percentage you want to discharge your batteries to the grid between the start and end time. This will also discharge your Solar PV that is currently being produced. However, the system will provide your propery load first.



Note, Currently when using this feature, you will not see your home load when exporting. This is due to the system changing into "Selling First" mode. This causes the system to disable the CT coil that reads your load coming and out of your property. Our software engineers are busy working on a new firmware that will enable the CT coil when using this mode. 

Warning - The Octopus Flux feature is still within beta stages for both Octopus and Sunsynk, you will be using this feature at your own risk.
