I've been having similar problems recently. Let us know if you figure out a solution.

Mark Dickinson posted a useful YouTube video showing how to remove a rock between the rotor and dust cover.

The not sleeping bug in 2020.12 seems to be fixed for me with 2020.12.1

Solar + Powerwall + Electric Car + Net Metering + Time Of Use billing = Big Savings (at least with Southern California Edison). Last year was my first full year with my 2 Powerwalls on SCE's TOU tariff. Having the powerwalls allow us to run on battery power during peak rate hours while...

You might want to get something like this: Google Wifi - Mesh Wi-Fi Router - Google Store

I've configured peak & off-peak (no part-peak) to get that behavior. I've extended peak from SCE's 2-8pm an hour to help with the duck curve. My two powerwalls discharge about 20‰ during that time, sufficient for SGIP charge/discharge cycles.

I finally talked to Powerwall support and they said the reason my system went dark (no monitoring via the app or PVOutput) was because my powerwalls weren't registered. I was asked if I ever received an email to register them. AFAIK I never received such an email. While it was dark the system...

What happens with the web-server lockup? This morning I noticed that the Tesla app showed no power flow on my system. My logger stopped uploading data to PVOutput late last night. Called tech support but no one from the powerwall team was available to help. About 1pm logging restarted. Noticed...

So far so good.

A while back in the Firmware 1.22.1 thread (Firmware 1.22.1) I wrote about an unexpected power draw from my system when entering the peak period (TOU cost savings). What it looked like to me was that when entering the peak period the gateway would use the battery for the house load and push back...

I had a couple of friends over to look at my system (one is about to have solar installed). We took off the panel covers and I took some photos. 1st is the subpanel with a breaker for each powerwall + a breaker for solar PV, 2nd is old main panel, 3rd is new backed up loads (whole house), 4th is...

Couldn't you simplify configure only peak and off-peak times (no shoulder)?

Is this - the CT clamps - something I can check? As I said before, I have two powerwalls for a whole house backup.

I just fixed a similar problem with my system. The wifi connection to the gateway was fine util I reset my router. After the router came back online the gateway would not re-establish the wifi connection. I found this that explained how to connect to the gateway hotspot: Monitoring from your...
