5kw timer settings

I've just installed a 5kw unit, upgraded from a 3kw other brand. I thought my timer settings requirements were simple but as the System Mode is not terribly intuitive I'm asking for some assistance here...

I want the PV to charge the batteries first then feed the load and if there is any extra it can be pushed to the house (grid side), this seems to be okay so far... I would like to use the batteries (2 x Pylontech US3000) in the evenings to power the load only, never feed to house/grid, from 18:00 to 06:00 but stop at 50% SOC, to leave battery for possible power failure/load shedding. I would also like to set it so that if the battery SOC is below 50% between 18:00 to 06:00 (basically at night) then the inverter must use grid power to charge the batteries back up to 50% SOC, so if there is another power failure/load shedding there is enough battery to keep the essential loads running again.

Any assistance would be appreciated (pictures/diagrams) for the needed "Time", "SOC" and "Grid" columns. Also how do you blank or disable additional lines if you're not using all six?
