v1.11.0

What's new

• Force Export Hold switch added. Enabling it before starting Force Export keeps the dynamic export running indefinitely after the duration expires.
• Force Discharging Hold switch added. Enabling it before starting Force Discharging keeps the session running for the full configured duration instead of stopping early when the SoC target is reached.
• Smart Export removed. It provided the same continuous dynamic export that Force Export Hold now covers. Users who relied on Smart Export should switch to Force Export with Force Export Hold enabled.
• Poll speed presets (Slow, Normal, Fast) added to integration options. Slow reduces the Modbus transaction rate for RS485-to-TCP adapter users prone to timeouts. Fast halves poll intervals and tightens the coordinator loop for faster SoC tracking and tighter dispatch control.
• Raw register write service (alphaess_modbus.write_register) added for advanced users. Writes any single register by address and integer value via Developer Tools or automations, with no scale or offset applied.
• B3 and B3PLUS model variant option added to integration options. Selecting B3/B3PLUS applies the correct scale factors for registers that differ from standard AlphaESS inverters.
• Per-mode dispatch countdown sensors added: Force Charging Countdown, Force Discharging Countdown, Force Export Countdown, and Force Import Countdown. Each shows remaining dispatch time only while its switch is active.

Bug fixes

• Force Export now dynamically calculates battery discharge power from live house load and PV production so the grid sees the configured feed-in rate. Previously it sent the target directly as battery discharge power, ignoring house load and PV entirely.
• Fast mode poll floor removed. The coordinator loop interval now tracks the Fast Mode Poll Interval directly, allowing sub-1 s polling for direct Modbus TCP connections. Previously the loop was hardcoded to 1 s in Fast mode.
• Excess Export power calculation corrected to charge the battery when PV production exceeds the Inverter AC Limit, instead of always writing zero power.
• Excess Export auto-pause now fires immediately on a work-mode fault instead of waiting up to 15 seconds.
• Excess Export now recalculates battery charge power on every coordinator update (every 2 s) and rewrites dispatch registers when power changes by 50 W or more, keeping pace with changing PV conditions.
• Excess Export dispatch registers could be re-written after the switch was turned off if a resume was in progress; an on-guard check now prevents this.
• All four Force modes (Charging, Discharging, Export, Import) now stop automatically when battery power stays within +/-50 W for 10 consecutive seconds, using the inverter's natural signal that it has reached its SoC target. Force Charging and Force Import previously had no early-stop watcher at all.
• Hold switches (Force Charging Hold, Force Export Hold, Force Import Hold, Force Discharging Hold) no longer keep the inverter in an indefinite hold loop after the duration expires. They now only gate the battery power watcher; the duration timer always stops the mode.
• Force Discharging and Force Export no longer schedule an orphan duration timer when SoC is already at or below the cutoff at startup. The orphan timer would call async_reset_dispatch hours later and could cancel an unrelated active dispatch.
