Plug-In Battery firmware 1.0104 has been released as beta

[DCSBL]

New in Plug-In Battery 1.0104

• We made some changes to the error reporting during boot. Some errors were incorrectly displayed during boot while components were still initialising.
• There was an issue since 1.0101 that caused the “slanted surface” error to be triggered incorrectly. We’ve fixed that!

Note

As of 7-4-2025, we have started the rollout of 1.0104 to a small group of Plug-In Batteries.

De batterij heeft weken probleemloos gewerkt maar vanavond gaat er iets goed fout. Ik krijg meldingen m.b.t. oververhitting en vermogen dat terug schaalt terwijl we nog op 40% zitten. Ik zet hem evenuit en laat hem afkoelen.

[DCSBL]

We verwachten geen veranderingen rondom temperatuurmeting en het reageren hierop in deze software. De kans is aanwezig dst je batterij precies doet wat hij zegt; te warm. Zonder verdere informatie kan ik je dit niet met zekerheid zeggen.

Ik adviseer je om eerst contact op te nemen met de helpdesk, dan zullen ze even uitlezen wat de batterij zelf meet.

Temperatuur van de ruimte was 18 graden, nu met de buitendeur open gezakt naar 15. Dat zou geen probleem mogen zijn neem ik aan. [email protected] of thuisbatterij homewizard.nl?

The battery continues to charge for a while at 7 to 8 Watts after reaching 100% SoC. This was also the case in the previous beta version. On Tweakers, I see the first report from a non-beta tester as well.

Indeed, before the update I didn't have this "standby" issue. Albeit I'm using another battery, I don't see it as a problem. Verified with external power meter that indeed current is drawn from the outlet

[DCSBL]

Hi @Devke1972, In 1.0102 we have the following change: "The inverter remains in standby mode for a longer period, increasing response speed when energy is needed and reducing wear on the main relay."

I believe this change is related to the issue you’re experiencing. When the inverter doesn’t need to charge or discharge, we set it to ‘idle’ for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the inverter is automatically shut down. The 7/8 watts of power consumed during this idle state is the inverter’s idle power.

We implemented this change to reduce the strain on the inverter and the components controlling it. During sunrise, sunset, and cloudy days, the inverter was turned on and off too frequently. By setting the inverter to idle for 30 minutes, we’ve resolved this issue. Additionally, the inverter can now respond much quicker on demand, which improves zero-mode / "Nul op de meter". Therefore, we do not see any difference in the round-trip efficiency.

I hope this clarifies what you’re experiencing.

[Devke1972]

Thank you, Duco, for the explanation. I will share this information on Tweakers. There are also often questions about why there is battery consumption for a longer period of time

[kegge13]

Is it also possibly to set it in quick response state programmatically?

[DCSBL]

This is not possible.

Hoi, Sinds enige tijd geeft mijn thuisbatterij vandaag dit aan: Ik heb dit ook doorgegeven aan ***@***.***, maar aangezien ik in de beta groep zit meld ik het hier ook. Is er specifiek iets wat ik zelf kan of moet doen nu? De offline melding krijg ik nog steeds vaak, maar verdwijnt steeds na een korte tijd vanzelf, ook nu is deze melding alweer verdwenen. Batterij start evengoed niet meer met laden of ontladen nu

[Gandalf-The-Wise]

Mij batterij functioneerde foutloos sinds 1 maart, maar helaas vandaag heeft mijn batterij na 12:00 niets meer gedaan.
In de app stond foutmelding E405.
Jammer dat je daar geen popup of zoiets van krijgt.
Nu zag ik het pas om 18:00 uur.
Na een reset, knop om en stekker uit het stopcontact is alles weer ok.
Moet ik contact met support opnemen of pas als de foutmelding weer terugkomt ?
Ik heb beta firmware 1.0104.

[DCSBL]

Voor deze foutmelding kan je inderdaad het best contact opnemen met onze support afdeling.

[Gandalf-The-Wise]

Bedankt, de batterij wordt a.s. vrijdag omgeruild.
