Was this a close match?

Yes... It should read “I can’t recommend enough the team of Patrick of Collision Consulting and Jake at Schenk Podosky Attorneys at Law.” Thanks!

Wanted to follow up after all the dust had setttled. Took a while but I ended up getting the whole assessment. If any of you have the unfortunate situation with needing help to fight for diminished value in AZ, I can’t recommend the team of Patrick of Collision Consulting and Jake at Schenk...

Yes that's exactly how I'm doing it: 3p - 80% reserve 4p - 60% reserve 5p - 40% reserve 6p - 20% reserve 7p - 0% reserve When I first started with this schedule, I freaked out because if the PW2 sometimes went a little bit under and then started charging during on-peak hours. I definitely...

@Darwin I just wanted to report back that your app is working pretty well for me. I've definitely got a complicated thermostat schedule but it keeps my demand down. Basically, I precool the whole house from 12-3p, bump up the downstairs temperature @ 3p, and keep the upstairs cooled where we...

I just went ahead and made an appointment too. My tires are too skinny right now...

It's funny you mention you love looking at this stuff. I do too. I realize I'm putting more effort into this than the return I'm getting but that's not the point. It's for the sport of it! ;-) I'll keep you posted. Thanks!

Yeah I don't fully undersand how APS is calculating demand over the hour. This is from their tariff sheet: The kW used to determine the demand charge above will be the Customer’s highest amount of demand (kW) averaged in a one-hour On-Peak period for the billing month. I read that as they...

I got everything working and the commands are triggering as expected but something kind of weird happened at the first peak hour. The reserve was set to 80% but it drained down to 76-77% as my 1 AC unit was running. Around when the AC unit stopped, the PW2 started recharging during the peak...

Hi @Darwin, I just set this up through the app but have a few questions: I currently set reserve to 0% and the PW2 charges off-peak. Since my standard reserve is 0%, do I really need to set it back to 100% at 8p thru SmartThings scheduling or should I leave it? For settings like "Mode to set"...

Curious how the Yokahamas are holding up? Thinking about purchasing them. Deciding between those and the Nokian WR G4 tires. Most of our driving is in sunny AZ.

I just ordered the SmartThings Hub. In the first hour of on-peak usage about 28% of the batt drained out with just 1 unit running. I need to read up on how APS exactly calculates the demand over the hour. It seems to me if it's on every hour, then maybe I just set it to: 80% @ 3p 60% @ 4p...

@Darwin I finally got my Powerwall operational today after all this time. Does your PowerWall Manager SmartThings app still have the capability of reducing reserve as you mentioned in the above post? The reality is that I only have 2 zones I really care about during peak time. Currently I have...

I hired the services of Schenk Podolsky Attorneys at Law around mid-November and proceeded with litigation. It is pending.

Yeah it was an expensive repair. I agree, I’m talking to a lawyer who’s ready to take my case. American Family’s $8000 “final” offer is insufficient.
