Netzero App

[BGbreeder]

Thanks for the suggestion! This is actually the next major feature on the roadmap. A lot of the work done so far--solar production estimates, string diagnostics, Powerwall degradation--have been building blocks for what I've wanted to build from the start: a system that alerts immediately when there's an issue, to reduce the time to diagnose and resolve the issue -- thus saving money and reducing stress. Tesla does not seem to be very proactive about these issues, all too often people find out about them when the next month's utility bill is higher (or even worse at the annual true-up).

Complete loss of production is easy to spot, but issues like a single string failure in a winter month might be hard to spot even if you look at the charts daily. An automated system with access to diagnostics will do much better here. Of course, it will take some time to tune the alerting system for precision and recall.

Sounds great! Any chance to tie into more granular data, e.g. microinverters?

All the best,

Yes, that would likely follow as part of the Enphase integration. That integration is currently on hold because of some issues I found with their API. But once they resolve those issues, I'll return to it.

I have a somewhat unusual PW setup in that I have two inverters (String) which are measured on two seperate CT clamps. It would be great to be able to see each of those strings and their respective outputs separately. Great app by the way.

That should be possible with a Powerwall+ at least, but may require a direct wifi connection. Do you have a gateway and are able to connect to it directly? What do you currently see in diagnostics?

We have a gateway 1 with two powerwall 2’s. We get the following under Diagnostics:

Does Netzero have support for the tedapi (Tesla One/Tesla Pros)? The normal local API only shows the first PW+ (I have two) every since FW 23.44.x.

Yes, tedapi is supported. You have to connect to the built-in wifi however, using the Scan QR Code option in the app.

You could try the Scan QR Code option, or use the Tesla One app to connect to your gateway or directly to your standalone inverters. But I believe string diagnostics require a Powerwall+.
