    Zigbee and ethernet at the same time..

    The green light is solid whenever you're producing energy, it will blink when not.. The blue light is when you're connected to SolarEdge's system.. After changing back to Zigbee, I do see my lights go blue every so often. When I was ethernet as primary they were solid blue at all times. Can't...

    PSA for folks getting a new solar install - ask for a map of your panel/optimizer layout

    Can confirm this! I disconnected ethernet today and have my inverters set to Zigbee, I get data from both now!

    Zigbee and ethernet at the same time..

    I disconnected the gateway box from ethernet today, I lost updates in the Solaredge app.. So that's definitely the path.. Not sure why its still calling home to Solaredge via ethernet though.. I'm curious if I power off the gateway box if it'll switch over.. I don't have 'auto' enabled, so it...

    I'll keep an eye out for that.. yesterday the lights stayed blue like when on ethernet... Anywho, its more of a curiosity right now.. I don't care how its getting the data now!

    Zigbee and ethernet at the same time..

    I didn't get a chance to test today, but the blue lights went out and I'm still getting solaredge data... Either way, I'm happy now.. no nagging from tesla and we get to use solaredge info now.. win win..

    Zigbee and ethernet at the same time..

    I didn't set it to auto, and yes it's using zigbee because the Tesla app is reporting data again... I could disable the Tesla gateway tomorrow and see if data is still coming to solaredge..

    Zigbee and ethernet at the same time..

    I can see it bringing up and tearing down sessions to Solaredge's system.. So I believe it is using ethernet since it's available.

    Maybe it does both now... *shrug*...

    Zigbee and ethernet at the same time..

    My firewall still shows active sessions from the ethernet port going to SolarEdge's cloud..

    Good to know, I'll do some traffic analysis on the ethernet connection to see.. Sure hope this is what it is, so we can just end this headache..

    Zigbee and ethernet at the same time..

    Just had something new today happen... I've switched over to ethernet to use the solaredge monitoring, and I got the email from tesla last week saying my inverters are offline.. So today I decided I'd go back to zigbee to let them call home for a little bit... When I went into the setapp it...

    Install day but crew left??? not sure this was worth it.

    I've wondered about this myself.. I have 10 panels on the east side of the house, I think these would be better on the west side since the sun is there longer during the day.. That east side gets 2-3 hours at most before the sun if off it.

    Install day but crew left??? not sure this was worth it.

    Wow, what a mess they've created for you... I don't blame you for just saying forget about it for now.. I think I probably would too.

    Get some Sense...

    I had a sense for a month, but returned it as it was a 350 dollar (had the solar one) power meter. It didn't detect my devices properly. I'd it wasn't 350 bucks I would have kept it.. iotawatt is the one I'm looking at now, co-worker has it and he likes it over the sense unit he had..

    Solar Roof - Texas - HOA declined

    I live in Texas.. My HOA told me there isn't jack that can be done to stop a home owner from installing a solar system. Legally they have to allow it.. The only thing my HOA said I can't do is a ground system, or have the panels extend above the roofline..
