How Scheduler works regarding divert

[mathieucarbou]

Hello,

I would like to automatically charge my EV between 22:00 and 6:00 when it is connected, but at the same time, allow it to charge with divert in the day.

I have activated divert option, which works, and activated the scheduler as is:

But I am surprised to see (I do not have any excess at the moment):

Claims show:

[
  {
    "client": 65538,
    "priority": 10,
    "state": "disabled",
    "auto_release": false
  },
  {
    "client": 65540,
    "priority": 10,
    "state": "disabled",
    "auto_release": false
  },
  {
    "client": 65548,
    "priority": 5000,
    "max_current": 33,
    "auto_release": false
  }
]

• scheduler is 65540
• Divert is 65538
• shaper is 65548

Divert and scheduler both have the same priority. How it will work in this case ? OpenEVSE charge will be allowed as soon as at leats one will allow it, divert or scheduler ?

When I simulate an excess of -2000W through MQTT, I can see divert allowing te charge.
So this works for the day.

My assumption is that scheduler will work because they both have the same priority and scheduler will allow the charge.

I did not see any doc around this part so hopefully this ticket will act as one ;-)

Thanks!

Both the scheduler and the divert use a higher priority for the active state than for the disabled state. This is to allow the other modules to activate the charge.

Thanks! I did not notice the priority change when activating!

You're right: today, sunny, divert allows the charge (so divert is 65538 )
