The app will be able to send charge and discharge commands directly to your FoxESS inverter, based on its forecast. This now stays switched on across reloads and closed tabs — by design, so automation keeps running without this page needing to stay open. Nothing reverts it back to Monitoring automatically; switch back at any time and it stops all control instantly and releases the inverter back to its own normal behavior.
Live Control Switches
Turn any one command type off without touching the master Live switch or Control Authority.

Live Control Log
What's actually been decided and sent to the inverter — not the plan, the real actions taken.
Data sources
Inverter Connection
FoxESS Cloud
Only change this if you're routing through your own CORS proxy in front of FoxESS Cloud.
Sent as X-Proxy-Secret on both FoxESS and Solcast calls if this and the matching base URL below are set — one worker, one secret, both APIs.
Export / Import Limit
The inverter's real AC ceiling — used both for this app's own planning AND sent to the inverter as part of every schedule this app pushes (the plan's own live pushes, "Send test command," everything). Not just a reference figure.
Forecast Sources
Only change this if routing through your own proxy (same one you may already use for FoxESS).
Site & System
System losses (soiling, wiring, inverter) — typical 0.78–0.85
Storm Precaution
90km/h is BOM's threshold for a "damaging wind" Severe Weather Warning; 70mm in an hour is BOM's threshold for "intense" rainfall in a Severe Thunderstorm Warning.

Send a real test command?
This will push a genuine ForceCharge command to your inverter for the rest of this hour — 500W, targeting just 2 percentage points above the battery's current SoC, so it should complete almost immediately and cost next to nothing either way. Check the FoxESS app afterwards to confirm it actually happened. Use "Release now" any time to stop it instantly, same as the main kill switch.
Usage history & accuracy

Prediction Accuracy
Forecast vs. what actually happened
Reserve Accuracy
What got reserved vs. what that day actually needed — the tracking discussed when the manual Safety Margin was removed (2026-09-21), now that there's no static buffer to fall back on.
Correct Usage from Retailer CSV
Corrects the real import/export totals used for cost calculation, scaling each day's existing FoxESS hourly shape to match your retailer's billed figures. Total household usage (used for the load prediction) is left alone — a retailer CSV only sees what crossed the meter, not what solar/battery covered directly, so it can't correctly represent total consumption for a solar home.
Providers

Your real usage, priced under each saved provider
Monthly Plan Comparison
Wholesale Provider (Shadow)
Real AEMO NSW1 wholesale price, priced against your actual usage — shadow only, never controls the inverter and never replaces your active plan.
Free key from platform.openelectricity.org.au — used for the live 5-minute wholesale price below. Falls back to a NEMWeb-based feed if this is blank or ever fails.
Wholesale Shadow Decision Log
One entry per hour, rolling 48h — what the SHADOW plan would have decided against wholesale prices. Shadow only: never sent to the inverter, kept entirely separate from the real Decision Log above.
Verify against real Amber data
Upload a real Amber price export (the "NEM Time, Price" CSV) to check how closely our modeled TOU+wholesale estimate actually tracks what Amber billed for the same real hours — our own log can only confirm the model is internally consistent, not that it's right, so this is the real check.
Wholesale Provider (Shadow) — enable
Turns on a read-only card that prices your real historical usage against the real AEMO wholesale price, so you can watch how it tracks before deciding whether to revisit Amber. It never sends anything to the inverter and never changes your active billing plan.
