4 with 400W out, 1 with 800W out

I operate 5 B-2500 of which 4 are connected on Output 1 and one is connected on Output 1 and 2. So 4x400W are handled regularly by AstraMeter, but it does not pull the full 800W out of #5. Why is that and what can I do?

[blumstrauss]

From the one B-2500 with double capacity only single capacity is used by the algorithm. I do not want to weigh it more in order to be used more than the other ones. In fact, I just want to switch him on when more than ~1.360W is needed. But then with full power: 800W DC.

AstraMeter tries to balance the output fairly across all devices by default. You can change the distribution via MQTT by updating the per-battery distribution weight. To achieve what you mentioned, you could build some automation that adjusts the distribution depending on the demand.

OK, I will give it a try. I did not work with the distribution weights yet. So the automation logic would be: As soon as power consumption is >1360W, put B2500-5 into auto mode with distribution weight 2.0 (while the other 4 stay at 1.0). Right?
