v1.6.0

[ffunes]

[1.6.0] - 2026-11-09

Added

• Indevolt SolidFlex / PowerFlex support ([BATTERY SUPPORT] Indevolt PowerFlex/SolidFlex 2000/3000 #491): driver over the battery's local HTTP API for SolidFlex 2000, SolidFlex 3000 AC and PowerFlex 2000 (tested), plus PowerFlex 3000, SolidFlex/PowerFlex 1200 and SolidFlex 3600 (same API). Controls the battery in Realtime mode only and never changes the working mode; a per-battery request speed (Conservative 5 s by default, down to 1 s) backs off by itself when the battery answers slowly. See Indevolt SolidFlex / PowerFlex.
• Dynamic Pricing plans across tomorrow once its prices are published (Next day forecast #710): with tomorrow's prices and a dated solar forecast (Energy dashboard), the charge planner looks up to the sunrise after tomorrow, so tonight's slots are weighed against tomorrow's solar and evening peak. Only slots before the next sunrise are scheduled.
• New Dynamic Pricing sources: Frank Energie (NL, PR#696, thanks to @GruttePier013), EnergyZero (NL, PR#705, thanks to @mhspelt) and BE Electricity Prices (Belgium, all contract kinds including time-of-use such as ENGIE Empower Flextime, no template sensor needed, thanks to @pulsarz).
• Predictive Charging Notifications switch (Possibility to disable the predictive charging evaluation notifications #141): switch.omnibattery_predictive_charging_notifications (on by default) mutes the predictive-charging evaluation notifications; evaluations, schedules and diagnostics are unchanged. Battery alarm, cell-balance and manual-mode notifications are not affected. Thanks to @Reinvented0.
• Dynamic Pricing: manual/automatic switch per price threshold ([BUG] Cannot clear number threshold entities to restore default behavior (reverts to last known value ) #612): switch.omnibattery_max_price_threshold_enabled and ..._discharge_price_threshold_enabled turn each threshold off (back to automatic) without losing its value. Thanks to @remarkmmj.
• Daily operation chart shows the grid price: with Dynamic Pricing, a stepped line draws the import price over the visible range (high and low labelled) and each interval's tooltip lists it. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Panel: type an exact value into any slider ([FEATURE] Improve precision and usability of the Grid Power Target control #783): tap the value next to a slider to enter a number (Enter or tap away to apply, Escape to cancel). Thanks to @BHNDNL.
• Zendure: Energy Export select ([BUG] No PV-Bypass after Target-SOC reached with Zendure Solarflow 2400 Pro #631): gridReverse (disabled / allowed / forbidden) is now a select on each SolarFlow. It must be "allowed" for PV to bypass to the grid once the target SOC is reached. Thanks to @schlm3.
• Repairs warning when Recorder excludes the sensors used to recover forecast history (Home Consumption, solar production, excluded-device power). Thanks to @thomasvt1.

Changed

• Round-Trip Efficiency uses the measured value by default: while the setting is left at 0.85, the arbitrage margin and High-Price Sale use the capacity-weighted efficiency measured on your batteries (once there is enough history, within 0.75-0.95); a value you set is always respected.
• Weekly Full Charge finishes in the night after its day: the run stays open until the next sunrise instead of ending at midnight, so the cheapest hours of that night count (also after an evening re-evaluation or restart), and with tomorrow's prices known (Next day forecast #710) the reservation picks them. Without a known sunrise it ends at midnight as before. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Solar timing follows the forecast provider's hourly curve ([BUG] Discharge reserve spreads the solar forecast over a flat-horizon sine and ignores the provider's hourly curve #754): the Discharge Reserve, Curtailment, Surplus Price Hold and High-Price Sale used a flat-horizon sine from sunrise; they now split each day's solar as the provider's dated periods expect it (a morning behind a hill, the low winter sun), keeping the sine where the periods do not cover the day. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Consumption profile follows a recent change in use: the forecast is scaled by how the last three days ran against the profile (median ratio, 0.8 to 1.5), so it no longer trails a change of season by about two weeks. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Daily operation chart reaches as far as the plan and opens on "now": the part after midnight runs to the latest of the planner's horizon, the Discharge Reserve's horizon and the last published price (at least to noon, at most the whole next day). Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Panel: the Control bar (padlock, Arrange) stays visible while scrolling.
• Faster startup with several batteries ([BUG] async_setup_entry connects and configures every battery one after another, so Home Assistant start-up time grows with the number of batteries #560): batteries on different hosts connect and configure in parallel; batteries sharing a gateway still go in turn. Thanks to @sphings79.
• Device registry lookups use the per-entry API on HA 2026.10+, avoiding the async_get_device deprecation. Thanks to @tkaspersNL.
• Manifest no longer lists pyserial: Home Assistant ships it and hassfest rejects it. Modbus RTU is unaffected.
• Docs: the driver guide lists every file a new battery driver touches.

Fixed

Dynamic Pricing and predictive charging

• Arbitrage margin rejected the whole deficit when one peak would have paid for part of it ([BUG] Chronological planner drops all later valid charge slots after an early depletion deadline is missed #662, [BUG] Dynamic pricing: arbitrage ceiling uses dear hours that lie before the selected slots; plan is dropped once the peak has passed #649): each stored kWh is now valued only against the later slots it actually lasts to, and energy needed at a given hour is bought only when it beats importing it then, after round-trip losses and the margin; the rest is left to the grid (cheaper_to_import_kwh). A deadline after the last published price waits for that price. A price_threshold plan names the cheapest rejected slot (cheapest_rejected_slot). Thanks to @RobtoCopter, @khh-dot and @anorakophobia.
• Evening recharge booked the evening price peak ([BUG] Predictive charging plans expensive slots, only looks until sunrise, and sometimes grid charges at unprofitable prices until reload #721, Title: Evening re-evaluation ignores min_arbitrage_margin and has no independent price ceiling #747): the evening re-evaluation now applies the same effective ceiling (static threshold or arbitrage ceiling) as the main evaluation. Thanks to @Nieass.
• Guaranteed Minimum SOC lifted the arbitrage margin off the whole plan ([BUG] Dynamic Pricing deficit plan grid-charges in the evening peak, above every later grid price (loses money; margin not applied) (v1.5.0) #724): only the floor's own energy skips it (still capped by Max Price Threshold (Charge)); after the evening recharge the plan's price, cost and time now describe the merged plan. Thanks to @locmer and @Varashi.
• Estimated cost counted every slot at full charge power (Estimated cost of charging is wrong #715): the notification's cost and average price use the energy planned per slot plus charging losses, also for an evening plan built from scratch. Thanks to @arno-millenaar, @tkaspersNL and @anorakophobia.
• Predictive charging bought night energy the midday solar then exported ([BUG] Time Slot mode: overnight charge sized from full-day balance fills battery to 100%, midday solar is then exported #704): the planner charges only what the forecast says the battery can keep; Guaranteed Minimum SOC energy is exempt. Thanks to @Wassman2020.
• Predictive charging bought the house load the grid already carries during a slot (Predictive charging: don't charge the house load the grid carries during a slot #785): each slot stores only what the house needs after the charge. Not applied to a pending Weekly Full Charge. Thanks to @pocketware.
• Predictive charging counted the peak-shaving reserve as energy for normal load ([BUG] Predictive charging counts the peak-shaving SOC band as usable energy until peak shaving is already active #627): the plan now stops normal load at the Peak Shaving SOC threshold. Thanks to @Varashi.
• No night charge for the evening on a day the sun never covers the house: with the Discharge Reserve on, a charge after midnight now serves deadlines later the same day until the sun covers the house. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Slot ended when every battery dropped off Modbus (Title: Venus E V3 loses Modbus communication every 35 minutes — Omnibattery 1.5.0 #623): the slot is held and charging resumes when a battery is back. Thanks to @khh-dot.
• Running slot stuck after a re-plan that selects nothing ([BUG] Dynamic Pricing: deficit slot stays active after deficit is met. Battery held in grid_charging at 100% SOC, plan attributes frozen (v1.5.0) #642): the slot is released in the same cycle and normal control takes over. Thanks to @syphernl.
• A slot still running at midnight never stopped: the new-day reset now stops it (a slot continuing past 00:00 restarts). Thanks to @StalkersGlue.
• A charge re-initialised during a slot asked for the slot's whole energy again: the targets now ask only for what is left of the slot. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• A battery stopped early in a charge slot and the slot fell short: each battery's share is capped at what it can charge in the rest of the slot; the rest goes to the others. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• The plan kept reserving solar for an EV that was already full (PR#808): claim moves above the remaining forecast no longer spend the daily re-evaluations, and a falling claim always re-plans. Thanks to @syphernl.
• An extra re-evaluation just after midnight (PR#749): 00:00 to 00:05 is left to the daily evaluation. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Guaranteed-floor grid charge overnight with price-based discharge control ([BUG] Only discharge when price is above threshold #594): hours where the price blocks discharge are no longer projected as drain. Thanks to @iFab11.
• Official Nord Pool integration: tomorrow's prices ignored: they are now requested once published and the plan is rebuilt. Thanks to @pocketware.
• PVPC: tomorrow's prices ignored ([BUG] Predictive Charging ignores next-day PVPC prices before midnight (v1.5.0) #568): the price_next_day_* attributes are now read. Thanks to @falberdi.
• Chronological planning failed across the autumn DST change (PR#679, [BUG] v1.5.1b1 — Chronological planning fails across DST transition (Europe/Amsterdam) #678): quarter-hour boundaries carry a fixed UTC offset. Thanks to @syphernl.
• Chronological plan counted all solar as battery charge in no-discharge slots ([BUG] Chronological plan counts full solar as battery charge in no-discharge time slots #616): only solar left after household load is credited. Thanks to @iwanvandaele.
• Notification labelled a plan across tomorrow as "until midnight" ([BUG] Predictive charging plans expensive slots, only looks until sunrise, and sometimes grid charges at unprofitable prices until reload #721): consumption and solar are now split into today and tomorrow. Thanks to @Nieass.
• Solar Forecast Safety Margin default ignored batteries that report their own capacity: the 5 % default now counts Modbus-read and auto-detected capacities. Thanks to @anorakophobia.

Weekly Full Charge

• Grid charge never booked on a day without price spread: weekly slots are limited by the static Max Price Threshold only, not the arbitrage gate. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Too few hours booked when one battery has a much larger gap: weekly hours are now at least what the slowest battery needs (taper included) plus a margin. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Time Slot stopped short overnight: the charge is timed from the window start, and every re-evaluation refreshes the per-battery target.
• Batteries discharged between two charge blocks and bought the energy back later: discharge waits while a weekly slot is ahead (weekly_refill_hold) unless the price beats the refill cost, and a full battery keeps still until the others are full (weekly_full_hold). Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• A Zendure's Target SOC was restored from a stale value: the run restores what the device reported before raising it to 100 %. Thanks to @anorakophobia.

Discharge Reserve

• The floor slid down with the SOC, and with several batteries only some were held ([BUG] Discharge reserve floor slides down with SOC: PV credit is re-granted every cycle when dearer-hour demand exceeds stored energy #700): claims run against stored energy plus the solar the battery can still take, and each battery keeps the same share above its own floor (battery_reserve_soc_pct). Thanks to @MarkB-HA and @Edidotc.
• Horizon jumped to the next day's sunrise at midnight, and the morning lost its reserve at sunrise ([BUG] Discharge reserve horizon jumps to the next day's sunrise at midnight, so the small hours before this morning's sunrise lose their reserve #725): between midnight and sunrise the horizon stays on this morning; the morning's horizon ends where forecast PV meets the load.
• The plan stopped at sunrise, before tomorrow's dear morning ([BUG] Predictive charging plans expensive slots, only looks until sunrise, and sometimes grid charges at unprofitable prices until reload #721): after the solar midpoint it runs to tomorrow morning's sun-covered slot once tomorrow's prices are known, up to noon. Thanks to @Nieass and @anorakophobia.
• The sun took over by the forecast, not by the panels (fix(discharge-reserve): hold the morning's energy until the sun covers the house #750): take-over latches only once measured solar carries the measured load, and the remaining sun is scaled by measured vs expected production (measured_solar_ratio). Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Status showed price_reserve_hold while a battery was still discharging (fix(discharge-reserve): hold every battery at the same moment (#700) #737), and a fully reserved battery could still discharge one step through float rounding. Thanks to @anorakophobia.

Daily Operation timeline and panel

• Forecast ignored the Discharge Reserve and spread slot charges over the slot: the projection keeps what the reserve claims per slot and charges at full power from the slot start, as the controller does. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• The past part of the chart showed almost no forecast: the in-progress quarter is scaled back to the full quarter. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• No solar forecast for tomorrow ([BUG] Daily operation chart shows 0 solar forecast for tomorrow although Solcast already provides a full-day forecast #574, [BUG] Next-day solar forecast periods cause false provider_gap and sinusoidal fallback #752): the curve comes from the Energy dashboard forecast, and next-day periods no longer cause a false provider_gap. Thanks to @ChuckleDucks and @Hellsing.
• Weekly full charge day projected to Max SOC (PR#680): the projection uses 100 % until the weekly charge completes. Thanks to @syphernl.
• "Updating state ... took 0.9 seconds" warnings ([BUG] Updating state for sensor.omnibattery_daily_operation_timeline took 0.950 seconds #600, [BUG] Updating DailyOperationTimeline is too slow #409): routine updates respect the publish throttle (now 60 s). Thanks to @JITNL.
• Timeline failed to render without Charge Delay data (Fix daily timeline crash when charge-delay data is missing #549), and the tooltip showed "Source" twice. Thanks to @thijskaspers and @tkaspersNL.
• Overview counted Anker batteries' available power twice ([BUG] small issue on overview : reported available power incorrect #716). Thanks to @EDplusED.
• Net balance showed "+0.00 kWh" while hourly balance was off: it now shows "Disabled". Thanks to @tkaspersNL.
• Solar forecast / Solar remaining rows stayed unlinked when the panel config arrived late (Panel links clean #567). Thanks to @JonavdBrink.

Control loop

• PD Min Cycle Interval / No-PD Command Delay ignored by the 2 s safety timer ([BUG] Command delay and Min cycle interval not enforced #654): ticks inside the window keep the last command (safety checks still act at once), a held meter reading is not then read as unchanged, and PD Min Cycle Interval goes up to 5 s. Thanks to @principis and @tkaspersNL.
• PD Quality misreported: "Sluggish" while on target, while every battery was in hysteresis (now "Blocked") or right after a grid-charge slot. Thanks to @tkaspersNL.
• Grid sensor dead: automatic control now stops: after 5 min without a valid reading, automatic batteries go to 0 W with a Repair. Thanks to @tkaspersNL.
• Grid charging in pulses with every battery blocked from discharging: the PD's derivative no longer winds up.
• Multi-battery: a battery flipped between Discharge and idle at low load: the surplus guard needs a surplus to last a few seconds.
• Zendure, Hoymiles, Anker: the PD charged from the grid while the house imported ([BUG] Zendure 4000 Mix Pro: battery charges for 90+ minutes while the house imports from the grid (not blocked, SOC above min), never discharges to cover import in daytime #634): delivery is read from the AC port instead of battery_power. Thanks to @xzaz.
• Target Grid Power capped at the battery sum ([BUG] Target Grid Power is bounded by the battery sum, so a grid charge only gets what the house leaves over #597, Target Grid Power: bound the import side by the contracted power, not the battery sum #598): the import side reaches the contracted power. Thanks to @stefantaanman-alt.
• Peak shaving ignored its SOC threshold when a battery stopped responding ([BUG] (bug/feature request) Peak shaving averages in the last SOC of a non-responsive battery, so the remaining battery is drained below the threshold #803): it counts only the batteries it can control. Thanks to @IG-ABHINAV.
• System SOC counted batteries in manual mode ([BUG] omnibattery_system_soc is incorrectly calculated when 1 battery in a multibattery system is put in 'manuel' mode #693): it covers only batteries under automatic control (all of them if every battery is manual). Thanks to @Wimpie-ccc.
• Three-phase protection: PD Quality flickered to Battery Limited ([BUG] PD quality "batterijbegrensd" #559). Thanks to @dirkvanhoutert.
• Slow-starting battery stuck at 99 % or excluded, and a full battery got a "not delivering power" Repair after a direction switch (the Repair no longer points HTTP/MQTT batteries at Modbus). Thanks to @tkaspersNL.
• Smart pre-discharge judges the negative-injection risk on the export price (Zonneplan zonnebonus #553) when an export price sensor is configured.
• Zonneplan sun bonus follows Zonneplan's rules (Zonneplan zonnebonus #553): solar export only, sunrise to sunset, on the tax-excluded price. Thanks to @JonavdBrink.
• High Price Sale: no_refill_price with several solar arrays ([BUG] High-price sale won't start, missing refill price #558): tomorrow's curve sums every Energy dashboard forecast. Thanks to @JoHuTi.

Batteries and setup

• Zendure flagged Non-responsive during its SOC calibration ([BUG] Zendure Mix 3000 - unresponsive while unit is calibrating #799): it is held out of automatic control until calibration ends, shown as "Calibrating". Thanks to @mnederlof.
• Zendure: a single dropped request marked the battery unavailable: the request is retried once after half a second. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Zendure: wrong Internal Temperature and pack temperatures ([BUG] Incorrect temperature conversion for Zendure SolarFlow 2400 AC+ #566): deci-Kelvin now converted. Thanks to @EricRx.
• Zendure SolarFlow 800 / Plus / Pro and 2400 Pro: PV missing from System Solar Power ([BUG] Zendure SolarFlow 800 Plus PV excluded from System Solar Power and Daily Solar Production #556, [BUG] Incorrect energy flow in dashboard with 2x Zendure SF2400Pro and additional rooftop-PV #630), also with an external solar sensor. Thanks to @adonix31 and @schlm3.
• Zendure/Hoymiles: 0 kWh capacity failed to save ([BUG] Zero battery capacity is rejected for Zendure instead of detecting capacity from packs #675): 0 now means automatic detection. Thanks to @thomasvt1.
• Hoymiles HiBattery 4020: Battery Total Energy ignored expansion packs ([BUG] Hoymiles HiBattery: Battery Total Energy ignores pack count (shows 4.02 kWh with 3 packs) #794). Thanks to @Ausmith27.
• Hoymiles: the slave of a paired system could be added as a second battery ([BUG] Hoymiles MS-A2 paired (master/slave): discharge power of one entry shows the system total, so the sum is double-counted #779): setup asks for the master's ID instead. Thanks to @patmtp35.
• Hoymiles: Battery Cycle Count stuck at 0 ([BUG] Hoymiles Battery Cycle Count remains zero because cumulative energy counters are missing #557): lifetime totals are integrated from power. Thanks to @adonix31.
• Anker: targets below 100 W were sent as 0 W ([BUG] Anker SOLIX: Hardcoded 100 W minimum prevents 1–99 W charge/discharge setpoints #734). Thanks to @Hellsing.
• Anker: PD oscillated after load steps (Not really a bug: Anker battery power often reads 0 when a lot of changing control commands are given / Control loop issues #522). Thanks to @wauswaus.
• Anker Solarbank 4: System Battery Cell Power counted solar twice ([BUG] Anker SOLIX Solarbank 4 E5000 Pro: System Battery Cell Power double-counts DC solar input #738). Thanks to @Hellsing.
• Marstek Venus D: no discharge after a Modbus reconnect ([BUG] Venus D EMS V151: Modbus power limits return 0 W after reconnect; discharge requires rewriting limits despite app showing 2500 W #548): a 0 W max power is rewritten automatically (at most once a minute). Thanks to @mxmrlt.
• Venus A/D with several packs: discharge stopped when the first pack reached Min SOC (Venus D multi-pack discharge stops when the lowest-SOC pack reaches minimum #545): the floor follows the total SOC. Thanks to @FrankieV040, @Slashir and @sphings79.
• Battery at ≤ 20 % SOC left in Standby after a short AC interruption ([BUG] Battery at ≤ 20 % SOC stays in Standby after a short AC interruption, never woken #720): it gets the standby wake before being treated as cut off. Thanks to @ShockWaveFlash.
• Marstek: setup rewrote the battery's own settings on every start: each setting is read first and written only when it differs. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• A failed or cancelled setup kept a Marstek locked out until restart: setup releases every connection it opened, and saving the options reloads in the background so the reload always finishes. Thanks to @anorakophobia.
• Backup Function: Bypass with load on the backup port stuck in cooldown ([BUG] Venus E v3: backup port load still keeps battery in backup_cooldown while in Bypass (#540 fix not effective) #660). Thanks to @pando85.
• Battery form capped Min SOC at 30 % and Max SOC at 80 % on v3/vA/vD (PR#741, PR#756, [BUG OR NOT A BUG] Min SoC for winter time #707): the form offers the same range as the SOC limit entity. Thanks to @amys94fr.
• Configure turned off MAC tracking of an existing battery. Thanks to @tkaspersNL.
• Time Slot: a cleared charging window came back ([BUG] Cannot clear window in Predictive Charging Time Slot #547), and Manual mode with both charge and discharge allowed is now rejected (Time slot - not working ?? #614). Thanks to @schauveau and @UsiuO.

Which sensor do It use for: BE Electricity Prices (Belgium, all contract kinds including time-of-use such as ENGIE Empower Flextime, no template sensor needed, thanks to @pulsarz).

The existing Nordpool sensor is'nt accepted and must sign in a sensor. Thanks.
