How does the Classic  finally decide it is night time ?

   



There is definitely room for improvement here but the Classic can somewhat see if there is any power
available before it actually engages the relay and wakes up.  20 to 30 times is too many and there is
an anti-click sensitivity  adjustment from modbus.  The idea is to eventually have another menu for
this adjustment but the Classic is kind of complicated already...  It's a compromise between too much
waking/resting and being able to wake up and rest properly even with partially shaded arrays.

Sunrise here . The Classic is waking up pretty much like it went to sleep . It starts clicking / cycling about 1.5 hours before the sun is really enough to start charging.

The input voltage does not do anything weird any longer and always stays above battery voltage until dark. So that seems to be fixed in this beta update version.

It would be nice if there was some way to set it so it just stays in charging when it either reaches a certain input voltage or charging current so it saves all that relay clicking at sunrise and sunset. 

Thanks for the update .
