I have a simple plan for my timer. Just follow the peak times. It's not that hard. Charge ANY time except this period of time. In the winter, it's Monday through Friday, 5pm to 8pm.
So I have a timer set to "start" at 8pm, "end" at 5pm, with the timer only selected on Monday through Friday - otherwise "off".
Last night - Sunday - I plugged it in, and it... didn't start charging. I said, meh, whatever, screwy piece of crap software probably doing its idiotic "charge at the end of the timer" thing. Yeah, it did that. Maybe what it did was it planned to delay the charge until Monday at 5pm when "off" is set...
Yeah, I went out to the car this morning and it was half dead from Sunday's driving. WTF?
Is there any way to get this timer to behave like it should? "Charge at any time I plug it in between these hours"?
I only want to charge to 80% and the only way to do that is with timers. But the timer has that "wrap-around" problem, where it won't charge until it's approaching the "end time" (*bulging eyes* OH MY GOD I HATE THAT BEHAVIOR)...
Pardon my frustration. Really having an "end of my rope" kind of day today... :lol:
