I use home assistant with solcast solar forecast which is far more accurate than built-in forecast for cloudy days. Based on the solar forecast, the DoD is set at 8PM and again every update between midnight and 6AM.
This means, that generally, battery is only used over night if the next day is full sunshine. For in-between, the DoD is set according to what I expect to be able to recharge the next day after baseload and load used solar first.
With this, I generally just dont have to worry at all about morning loadsheds. It may sound like I dont save as much from not using grid as others, but I do after tweaking it a lot. It is just delayed. Savings is ± the same.
I also have the forecast on my dashboard, like so:
I found this was the best way to deal with SoC/DoD and CoCT loadshedding. I gave up on CoCTs crazy stints.
The other work-arounds was to get geysers to run as much during sun hours, that was more of a mission but it is almost 99% sorted now.
