This mode is recommended for regions with little snowfall. + +Turning this sensor off maps to the "Automatically economical" mode. Consequently, the inverter controls the battery charging automatically but switches the battery off when there is insufficient PV energy to charge the battery for longer periods. This mode is recommended for regions with a lot of snowfall. + +#### Battery Smart Control + +The Battery Smart Control sensor appears as a select field labeled "Battery Charging / Usage Mode" with three options: + +- **None**: the battery is loaded immediately when there is PV energy spare. +- **Battery:SmartBatteryControl:Enable**: the battery loading optimizes grid feed-in and battery loading. This setting is recommended when the grid feed-in is limited to, for example, 70% of the Plenticore Plus peak power. +- **Battery:TimeControl:Enable**: battery charging/discharging can be configured flexibly at different times (tariff periods). Detailed settings must be done on the web frontend of the Kostal Plenticore Plus inverter. This option activates the time-controlled battery usage mode. + ## Number The following Number entities are available. The values could also be change from Home Assistant.
