I am no longer able to access the gateway through my IP address. I get the message to download the pros app. I downloaded the app. How do we use it as a homeowner similarly to how we logged into the gateway through the IP?

Can powerwalls withstand the whole home heat treatment for extermination? My powerwall is installed on an exterior wall

Tesla now has a powerwall specific widget for iOS and MacOS. You have to update the app first and then after you restart your phone you should be able to see the new widget options

Some areas could see over 10 inches of rain

Anyone else having this issue? When you first open the Tesla app the house image is zoomed in so far that you can't even see any of the readings. The app slowly pans out to where the whole house and all of the meters come into the display. This happens every time you completely close the app...

Surprisingly got the storm watch notification for my area of LA County. This is the beginning of that time of year for CA. Fall season begins fire season before the winter rains begin. Warm dry offshore winds (Santa Ana winds in SoCal and Diablo Winds in NorCal) drive fires after our long dry...

I noticed that Excessive Heat Warnings are not on the list for severe weather events that trigger Storm Watch. I am wondering why they don't include it? I know in many areas, especially my area where all power lines are underground, we are more likely to lose power during extreme heat than any...

I currently use the Tesla APP for my PowerWall. I do not own a Tesla vehicle. I was wondering how I can configure the APP for non Tesla charging. I do not see the option anywhere. No charging option. The video on their site is completely useless.

My PowerWall just went into storm watch mode. Flash flood warning from San Luis Obispo County all the way to eastern LA County. This is a huge area to cover.

Is there an APP I can download on a MAC to monitor or display my solar and battery use and production?

While voting in a downpour my phone gets two alerts at the same time.

This just happened to my APP. When I log in to the IP everything still shows. This is only an issue on the APP

I had my house reroofed last week and finished reinstalling the panels today. Because we were without solar on the hottest week of year, I was worried about potential power outage draining my battery. Glad we had grid charging enabled, not only was I able to recharge my PW after a 30 minute...

Since they removed the Balanced option, is there a way to configure “Time-Based Control” to behave like the old Balanced mode?

I noticed that Tesla recently updated their weather events that trigger SW. Gone: Wind (advisory) Added: Flood (watch or warning) Flash flood (warning) Coastal flood (warning) Lakeshore flood (warning) The current list The old list

For the last few months I have not been able to login to the Gateway through my own network IP address. The IP address is correct, I just looked it up on my router and I am able to login to other devices through their IP. I just keep getting a timeout error for the TEG for some reason. It...

I have an old iPad running an old iOS that cannot be updated to anything above iOS 10. I’ve been running v3.10 of the Tesla APP as I prefer v3 UI. This version is now starting to have issues. When I tried to update it says it not compatible with the older iOS but will still let me update...

With SoCal seeing a heat advisory and warning for the first time ever in winter, I decided to look at the list of weather events that trigger storm watch. I knew heat advisories and warnings do not as we had them in the summer. But it was interesting to see the wind chill warning does? This...

Never thought I would have to clean my panels during what is normally the wettest month of the year for CA, but after 2 weeks of Santa Ana winds they were more dirty they they are during the dry summer months. So did it make a difference? You can see the slight uptick when I hosed them and...

I found a local installer that will install another Power Wall (13.5 kWh) for $18k without having to add any additional panels. Did the prices of Power Walls really go up this much or are they charging way more than they should? This does include installation. But they were the only company...

I just got a notification for Storm Watch here in SoCal for a wind storm. Then I checked the NWS and noticed wind advisories, watches, and warnings. First time I’ve seen this. Seldom do we get winds here. Anyone here get the same?

Yesterday morning I noticed the door to the Gateway was opened and it had been pouring rain. I immediately shut it but was concerned how long it had been opened and why it was opened (I never opened it.). So I checked my camera and fortunately it just opened a few minutes prior to me noticing...

Since around October my solar production curve started looking more like a turkey tail than a nice smooth normalized curve on perfectly clear days with no shading at all. Prior the curve was alway smooth. I have enphase iq7 microinverters. When I check production for each microinverter it...

Just got a message on my phone from Tesla for Storm Watch and was completely surprised. I didn’t think there was anything that would be close to activating it. So I checked the NWS and noticed they issued a Red Flag warning for tomorrow. But the APP itself doesn’t display storm watch. Is it...

On the TOU plans Edison has a minimum daily charge of $0.35 and a daily basic charge of $0.03 for the TOU 4-9. On the Prime they have no minimum daily charge but the daily basic charge is $0.40. What is the difference between the two charges? Do you add them both to make a daily charge of...

The last week my PW has been doing mini charging and discharging a few hundred watts periodically throughout off peak period. This never happened before. Anyone know what causes this? Here are screen shots from yesterday, the day before, and today

Every day between 10:30 and 11:00 am I get a sudden decrease in production by a few hindered watts. No shading or obstructions. Anyone know what can cause this?

With Tesla now no longer allowing your to order a PW unless you also purchase solar, are we able to order additional PW to add to an already existing system with a PW? What if the original install was with a third party installer?

I guess my question is what is best for the lifespan and efficiency of the batter over time, to allow the battery to charge and discharge more in self powered or balanced (where the battery may discharge to less than 50% to before charging back up to 100%) or cost savings (where the charge...

I am trying to figure out how to see if I qualify and then apply for SGIP. I have SoCal Edison as my utility. I contacted my installer and they told me that now that I own the equipment I would have to apply myself. I emailed Edison SGIP and they just gave me a link to the same website where...
