Hi Kim! I tried to connect to the battery and found it in Homey (PRO) but dont get any data. Have typed the ip address and token. ![IMG_6480](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/c/0c75f206ddf9b0b8496775f2ce39bff8f57c4501.jpeg) ---

Hi @Oscar_Wannfors , please show me your settings as well - you can leave or blur the token. Please also check my post, about access to your homey batterie local ip from your Homey setup. (2 post up) ---

Hi @Oscar_Wannfors things you can try: - Use a browser and check if settings are persisted (see next) - when you reopen settings, previous stored “input” (ip and key) should be shown - Check for unwanted spaces in the IP/url field - Copy & paste auth token - to make sure. ---

Hi Kim, I have double checked all and the information is typed correctly. But still on data from the battery. Tried the app mentioned above too about tcp and ip. I get all information correct from the dashboard on the browser. ---

Hi again! It’s working now. Don’t ask me what info was wrong. Is there a tutorial how to set up flows depending on prices and so on? And what app do you use for spot price from Nordpool? Thanks! Oscar ---

Hi Kim. Thanks for your great work! I’ve tested the newly added functionality TOU with starting time as string. It works when entering the value as string (eg 14:30) but not when using the time label or string variable. It seems Homey Logic has a bug where it adds a trailing whitespace to the tag values. So a correct time tag as “14:30” will be passed as "14:30 ". And this breaks the logic in the TOU functionality with status code 400. I would suggest to crop the time string to only use the 5 first letters, so "14:30 " will be cropped to “14:30”. This way we can use the time tag values with or without trailing whitespace char. ---

Hi @Marc_Iven I will have to look into this. I am doing this: var timeStartHours = +timeStart.split(“:”, 1)[0]; var timeStartMinutes = timeStart.split(“:”, 2)[1]; Are you using “14:30” in your example where it “fails”? I cannot remember if the time need to be fully quilifies 00:00 (09:00) etc. Time-label or string variable - don’t know these so well - do you have example values to test? ---

Hi @Oscar_Wannfors, glad it is working out for you. What went wrong? (just kidding) I do not know of any tutorial - try in the “Power by the hour” - all the nerds are there 🙂 ---

You did the issue on github as well? Same issue and you are describing. ---

Hi Kim. After the “:” split the timeStartMinutes sometimes contains a trailing whitespace. I would try to add some trimming to remove the trailing whitespace (if it occurs). var timeStartMinutes = timeStart.split(“:”, 2)[1].trim(); ---

No. The bug really is in the logic cards when using the _mobile app_, it’s not a bug in the app code. After saving, it just adds the whitespace to the variable value somehow. It doesn’t occur when you use the web app. I reported it twice as a bug, the last one 2 years ago > ![1000034609](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/9/c9317c94d9931fef6a84e4f368c0ad48b6f3faca.jpeg) Translated: _I have again raised this issue with our developers, should I get an update on this I will get back to you one of these days!_ _My apologies for the inconvenience._ ---

Thanks for the update. But now the battery only charge with 800w no matter what the flow cards says. Any one else experiencing the same? ---

@Kim_Kokholm - i have found a potential bug. The app is trigging an activity for “time of use” as from 00:00-23:59 But since this morning it doesn’t trigger Sonnen to charge. If I reset the activity (directly in sonnen settings) and make a new one with the same value - still doesn’t work. But - if I make a shorter period (eg 15:00-17:00) it will kick in and charge with the set power. Any one else with the same problem? ---

Hi Oscar. I had a similar error. When i set the TOU for the whole day through the web application, my Sonnen batterie only charged with very small power (W) even when I put in the max 46000 W. It’s only with a shorter period that the Sonnen batterie seemed to kick in and started charging with the set power W. I did the testing using the web application, so it has nothing to do with the Homey Sonnen Batterie app. ---

Please attach screenshot - are you using the “pause”? The app only support one schedule - no overlapping - setting a new TOU - the old one is being removed. Are you trying “multiple” schedules?
