    iOS 15 can no longer connect locally to energy gateway

    Were you able to figure this out? I cannot connect to the teg2 on my iPhone 13 pro on iOS 15.5 using safari, but I can on Firefox I can also still connect to the teg2 on my iPhone X on iOS 15.2 on safari As far as I can tell all my settings are the same on the X and 13 pro (other than the...

    Tesla App Utility plan configuration: Multiple Peaks, Buy/Sell Behavior, etc

    I've been seeing the same behavior as you and have been trying without success to achieve the same behavior you're seeking, including trying some of the tweaks @Redhill_qik suggested. additionally, there's a message in the app saying Powerwall will not cycle this season because the the...

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    That’s what i thought. What I’m not clear on yet is whether this incorrect behavior is particular to my system or whether others are seeing it as well…

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    I’m never in a situation where I’m at risk of running out of battery prior to end of peak. But I will try playing with the pricing - if I increase the sell price so that it’s significantly higher than the buy price during peak, that should force the system to send solar to the grid rather than...

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    The grid draw amounts are typically small and brief so I’m unlikely to catch this occurrence but will keep an eye out TBC is described by Tesla as the mode to use to derive the most economic benefit from PWs, so I agree with @miimura that any off peak discharge typically won’t provide any...

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    the reason i asked is i saw a change in behavior of the new TBC mode a few weeks after its release. when the new TBC mode came out with app version 4 (and balanced mode was eliminated), my PWs behaved as follows: 1) during peak, house was powered exclusively by PW; 2) ALL solar produced during...

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    Before figuring out the buy/sell values you detailed, were you by any chance seeing solar during peak go to house rather than to grid and/or house drawing from grid in addition to powerwall during peak and/or powerwall discharging in the middle of the night during off peak?

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Did you opt out permanently? I thought I read participants can opt in to or out of individual events, but I can’t remember for sure

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Is VPP participation limited to those with Tesla solar? I had PWs installed with pre existing 3rd party solar and do not have the VPP option in my app.

    Time based control not working

    Spoke with Tesla today. My system is still behaving differently since reconnection compared to prior to disconnect: - house draws from grid during peak; prior to disconnect house was powered exclusively by powerwall - solar during peak is going to the house; prior to disconnect any solar...

    how much energy to i actually have?

    today my powerwall started at 100% and started discharging after midnight. it reached a low of 87% before it started recharging with solar. it received 5.8 kWh from solar to get it back to 100%, but it only discharged 4.1 kWh. i checked the API when the app said 88% of charge and it showed a...

    Time based control not working

    Now 5 days into my “learning period” and it still drew from the grid during peak, and continued discharging the powerwall after peak ended, yesterday. Also, the powerwall discharged for a brief moment today even though weekends are all off peak. Will be interesting to see if functionality...

    Time based control not working

    Haven’t tried yet - maybe tomorrow. I want to see how it behaves during today’s peak period

    Time based control not working

    Between the time of the app update 3 or 4 was ago up until my PWs were disconnected last week, I was on TBC and the PWs were only discharging during peak; once peak ended the PWs stopped discharging even if they were well above the reserve, and did not ever discharge outside peak. Since being...
