What's Changed
Low power export mode
Predbat now supports a low power export mode (enabled via a new toggle), this mode allows Predbat to export at a slower than maximum rate in order to minimise clipping in cases when you don't want to dump too much battery.
- Alpha testing low power export mode and optimiser improvements by @springfall2008 in #2207
- Low power export one more speed by @springfall2008 in #2208
- Avoid slow export for short slots by @springfall2008 in #2213
Planning improvements
Predbat will now not update to a new plan if its not better than the old one, this can reduce the number of flip/flop type changes to the plan. The plan will be re-computed if the user adjusts a setting or if an external setting changes that is linked to a predbat trigger (e.g. external load data).
- Improve db updates, keep old plan when its not better, combine slot fix by @springfall2008 in #2221
