I am in So. Cal and I am still on 1.49

Its not using grid - its using solar. Because of that, it can't charge the PWs for that little time. Then it goes back to charging the PWs.

I am using the Balanced setting which is a bit different than Cost Savings. In my case, I can use the battery from 1600-2100 (peak time) and it will continue to use it through the night. It depends on the algorithm that they use and SOC. When the sun comes up, it powers back up the battery and...

The powerwalls are not charging from the Grid. The solar graph will always be smooth (as long as you dont have issues with a panel or optimizer. You seem to have more than my 24 panels so you are generating much more solar to handle the startup of your AC compressor and continue to charge...

Reading the verbage for behavior is: "Powerwall will charge from excess solar during off-peak and shoulder (if required). Powerwall will discharge during all periods, minimizing exports during shoulder and off-peak." So it only uses grid if solar can't supply enough. The solar covered most all...

I think your correct. I "think" that the graph looks reasonably correct. The numbers below the graph do not. I am unsure what is behind those numbers but me not having PTO I am not going to press Tesla to explain why. (Like why off peak is 0 for solar!) It may be that the Tesla servers only do...

It is on balanced. I wonder if it is because of the AC compressor starting? Looking at the raw data, there are dips in charging the 2 powerwalls and some grid usage. The compressor is old but Tesla put in a soft start device. Don't really have a graph of the system without the heat wave yet.

The chart looks like it is correct. The All Day numbers look good, I think, as Edison shows the same usage number. Just the non-peak and peak times don't add up to the All Day numbers.

Its been turned on (unofficially - Tesla left it on after testing - awaiting PTO from Edison) sense Thursday. Been off and on several times sense the first of the month. I just wanted to know the wrapping the non-peak time from the end of peak (9:00pm), around midnight, to the start of peak...

That's why i think that it is only looking at 9pm to midnight and ignoring midnight to 4pm. It kind of says that in the numbers on my first message.

The issue is that the Peak and Non-peak displays when added up are not what the All Day is showing. It seem for the day Midnight - 4pm is not shown, 4pm-9pm is shown in peak and 9pm-midnight IS shown in Off-peak. I would think that the All Day display should be the sum of Off-Peak and Peak...

I am trying to set up Custom|Advanced|Balanced Price Schedule slots to handle my 4:00pm- 9:00pm Peak time TOU rate. (all other times are off-peak rate.) I have it set up as in the image file uploaded. When I look at the graph for a day, it shows a reasonable number for the Peak times but if I...

You said that your powerwalls were configured to only rise frequency to 62.5Hz. Did you do that, and how, or did you have to get Tesla to do that? My install team didn't know what I was talking about - not going to 65Hz and tripping all my UPS units - and said they couldn't help me. The head...

Cool - it would be interesting to see if its 100% full and the a "power failure" happens. Will the powerwalls just jump to 65Hz setting off UPS units or still ramp up?

So have you been able to test this out?

I could not get live_status (status works) or calendar_history to work. Get 404 error on those two. Got examples?

If you are not getting any data (no power used in home) you may have issues with the Powerwall Gateway (not that stupid little box) communications via WiFi or LAN. You may also have bad CT and the data becomes nothing. Check your router to be sure the gateway WiFi has at least a good signal...

That helped a LOT! Found that only one string was found. Followed the YouTube video about pairing and now both strings are up and running.

I just installed Firefox and it works fine. Just made a shortcut to: TeslaCam Video WebApp Player Works cool!

Preconditioning makes since. It's a brand new system. It's like 65f outside but like my Tesla M3, it does the same when charging. Thanks for the assist.

I just got my install. My SE inverter has NO display on it to see what going on or to change anything. Ideas on how to even know if all the panels are actually paired?

This is in the evening hours, overcast, PWs (2) are at 27% .

I just got my system installed and noticed that it looks like the grid charges the powerwalls every so often. Any ideas on whats going on?

The roof will have a lot of panels. We live in Southern Orange County by the mountains. We get a good number of power outages.

Hopefully a simple question for you all. I am getting a 7.56kW solar and 2 PWs. If I use either the balanced or cost savings on the powerwalls during the TOU peak times - does excess solar try to charge the powerwalls or go directly back to the grid? (Gaining peak time credits.)

Thanks. I take it that the Ethernet goes from the gateway box that has the grid cutoff relay to a router or access point? I would love to have it all three ways as well - Just to keep it connected. I am getting SolarEdge inverter and power optimizers and that sends data as well. Will the...

I am even newer to PW and Solar. Tesla is supposed to install the end of May 2020. When the PWs (getting 2) are installed, will I get this version of software (or greater) when they turn it over? What type of questions should I expect from the installers? Thanks.. DonC

I have a 2019 M2 LR AWD and want to know if I have AP 3 or some other version. With V10 (2019.32.12.2) I hear that all videos are H.264 again. (Is that true?) Is there another way to tell what version I have without ripping the car apart?

Cool - I like your site and it seems to work great. Glad you will be pushing out an update for the rear camera. I should have checked here first. The format is like: 2019-09-27_14-37-32-back.mp4 It kind of goes along with the front format: 2019-09-27_14-37-32-front.mp4 Thanks for all...

I got it running - I think. Are the mounts to the archive server for /mnt/archive, /mnt/musicarchive, /mnt/can and /mnt/music only there when there is something to transfer. I take it that this is only fired off when you get connected to your Wifi? Is there a way to fire off the transfer of...

Cool - I am thinking of using a Raspberry Pi to record camera footage and if the power is gone, it would take like 30 or so seconds to boot up again. Would most likely get errors that it's too slow.

When Security Mode is active, does power remain active on the two front USBs or only powered when it needs to write an event?

Hopefully an easy question.... When Sentry Mode is active, are the front two USB ports powered all the time or just when it needs to save an event?

Yes - Wifi is still on. When I return home it stays online for about 1 hour or so. Looking at the router, there is data transfer going on to someplace. When that seems over, the car goes into offline state and I see the Wifi connection drop. (It is a good to excellent connection.) I issued a...

What's happening is that the car is in a deep sleep. When that happens, the Wifi is turned off to save that energy as well. The car wakes up by opening the door or a wake_up API call. (Goes through cell connection.) Hopefully this deep sleep does not stop the car from getting updates.

I found that with this release, 2019.28.3.1, my Tesla M3 actually goes to a status of "offline". Looking online, it seems that the status of "offline" is the deepsleep of other models. Need to run the "wake_up" function to get the car back online. I am not 100% sure of this as the update is...

Will try and get all the answers here... Sentry mode is turned off at home. The API says "online". I have never seen the "offline" status. I wonder if it is the uploading of data. It happens after I have driven a few hours. Today was a short drive but ended up getting an update to...

That's not good. I hear as well that the servers are not displaying new data. (Maybe not getting data.) edigest - Let the group know if you find something better...

I decided to take a look at why my car is losing battery sitting I'm my garage. I have turned off stuff like cabin overheat but to no avail. I am using curl issuing a vehicles command (does not wake up the car) and find it takes hours to enter sleep mode. I even tried to force end the Tesla...

Are the TeslaFi people still alive and answering questions? I asked some questions a week or so ago without an answer. I have not signed up for a trial yet, but I hope that doesn't keep them from replying.

Did you lock it or did it come locked? How do you unlock the app?

So there must be data within the car to get their data.

Yea - I mistyped. I think you got the idea though. As an aside - there are losses in the "glorified extension cord" as well as in every connector. The in-car charger also has a loss as does the wiring going to/from the charger. Then there is the loss in heat from the battery itself - which is...

The 14-50 is limited to 32A and the 10-30 at 24A. This charge is most likely done overnights so either 28-32A? Just trying to get a handle on REAL charging costs. The car says how much it stuffed into the battery. I don't see how much the overhead of cooling, cable/connector and charger losses...

How are you calculating/obtaining the efficiency %? Is there something from the car I can use to figure that out?

Thanks for the help and sorry for mistyped Mobile Connector. A 5%-10% addition to what the car says to what the energy provider bills for is not that bad. I will look at the thread you gave in more detail. Thanks

I know this was most likely asked and answered but I can't find it.... When charging with the Mobile Charger (14-50, 10-30, ...) how much charging loss is there. I know that the car tells me how many kW that were added to the battery, but how much is wasted in heat, running the charger and the...

Cool. I am not familiar with this programming environment. Just wanted to be sure it was good. How do you develop with these things showing up all the time?

It still seems to have the same issue.... It does seem to work though. :)
