I've started using this app and have had some success but having problems with triggering a PW action at a certain charge level. In the app I go into the perform actions when charge % rises above a pre-defined level, set a %, then into select powerwall actions to apply when charge level % is...

The better then expected weather caught me out as well. I did manage to get a full 100% in the battery despite the time change but with the Sun coming out early, I was fully charged again around 1pm and had to run out and plug in the car to use the surplus.

The easiest method I've found is to adjust the power outage reserve. I've not been able to get the PW to 100% recently but it does get it a few % higher. When this sunny spell ends, I may have to try adjusting the rates.

I thought of that but it stops charging before the end of the current off-peak period. I've tried playing with the powercut reserve. I've found if you extend that before the start of off-peak, then it does charge more. I normally have it at 10%, but I extended to 25% before off-peak and the...

Well nice theory but it didn't work. Sun went behind a cloud and it started drawing from the grid despite charge level of 72%. Guess it was saving for the new peak slot. I've reverted to the 2 tier rates and set the cost for peak higher to see if that helps.

I've just found this thread from a google search and will add my 2p worth. I had the PW2 with gateway installed in December. I'm not aware of paying the £750 (or anything) to the DNO, they did give approval and come out to fit a 100A company fuse, (previously 80A). It does discharge at 5KW. I...
