**input_number.predbat_forecast_plan_hours** is the minimum length of the Predbat charge plan, and is the number of hours _after_ the first charge slot to include in the plan.
The default of 24 hours is the recommended value (to match energy rate cycles). Note that the actual length of the Predbat plan will vary depending upon when the first charge slot is.

**switch.predbat_calculate_regions** (_expert mode_) When True the a second pass of the initial thresholds is
calculated in 4 hour regions before forming the detailed plan. Is True by default but can be turned off in expert
mode.

**switch.predbat_calculate_export_oncharge** (_expert mode_) When True calculated export slots will
disable or move charge slots, allowing them to intermix. When False export slots will never be placed into charge slots.

**switch.predbat_set_discharge_during_charge** - If turned off disables inverter discharge during charge slots, useful for multi-inverter setups
to avoid cross charging when batteries are out of balance.

**switch.predbat_inverter_set_charge_before** - (_expert_mode_) When True charge slots will be programmed before their start time, when False they will only be
configured when the charging time starts.

**switch.predbat_calculate_tweak_plan** (_expert mode_) When True causes Predbat to perform a second pass optimisation
across the next 8 charge and export windows in time order.

This can help to slightly improve the plan for tariffs like Agile but can make it worse in some fixed rate tariffs which you want to force export late.

**switch.predbat_calculate_secondary_order** (_expert_mode_) When True import slots of the same value are sorted by export price and export slots of
the same value are sorted by import price. When False slots of the same price are sorted by time.

Turning this switch off can be used to push export as late as possible when you have a fixed price export tariff.

## Battery margins and metrics options

**input_number.predbat_best_soc_keep** is the minimum battery level in kWh that Predbat will to try to keep the battery above for the Predbat plan.

The YouTube video [low power charging and charging curve](https://youtu.be/L2vY_Vj6pQg?si=0ZiIVrDLHkeDCx7h)
explains how the low power charging works and shows how Predbat automatically creates it.

**input_number.predbat_charge_low_power_margin** Controls how many minutes before the completion time to target finishing charging, this defaults to 10
**input_number.predbat_charge_low_power_margin** (_set_charge_low_power_) Controls how many minutes before the completion time to target finishing charging, this defaults to 10
but can be changed between 0 and 30.
