    Wire gauge (AWG) for HPWC (Telsa Wall Connector)

    I have 2 wall connectors gen 3. On the side of my garage closest to the panel, I have #6 stranded on a 60amp breaker. The wire length is roughly 8ft. On the other side of the garage, we recently opened the walls to run a conduit inside. We used #2 stranded to future proof. it fits with no...

    MyQ shows garages but not gates?

    It seems the API myQ uses for its official connections: amazon, home bridge, Tesla - is different than the api used on their website/app. The website/app can be used through a homebridge linux plugin to pull anything from the myq website/app into apple HomeKit. I hope the devs over there...

    MyQ shows garages but not gates?

    This is 100% a myQ issue. Same exists with myQ's homebridge. I have my garage door and gate paired to the device. They both show up in the myq app but only my Garage Door shows up in my Apple Home app. It won't show the gate for some reason.

    New Powerwall Advanced Options [Toggles for charging from and discharging to grid from powerwalls]

    my settings are working nicely so far. my house has been grid charging at 8am. I've noticed the batteries charge up to about 50% and then the rest is charged over excess solar produced. I'm at 100% long before 4pm. then the batteries power the house and dump excess perfectly from 4-9pm. When...

    New Powerwall Advanced Options [Toggles for charging from and discharging to grid from powerwalls]

    Checked again today - I've now sent 90kwh back to the grid during mid peak. my Bill estimate from yesterday to today lowered from 36 to 32. I use a lot of energy in off peak and super off peak so I'm wondering how this all balances out when I eventually go over the limit. I'm going to keep...

    New Powerwall Advanced Options [Toggles for charging from and discharging to grid from powerwalls]

    Impressive math. I checked my usage for the week and for yesterday alone I sent 39.47kWh to the grid during mid peak. So it seems that I should maybe stick with this and once its sunny enough, turn off grid charging to allow the PowerWalls to charge up from the sun and then export everything -...

    New Powerwall Advanced Options [Toggles for charging from and discharging to grid from powerwalls]

    My last 12 months electric bill with SCE was around 1300. For that last year, I had 10.2kw solar system + 2 PW2. I was using TOU mode all year with no changes to the setup. I'm on TOU-D-PRIME. I'd like to get my bill to or make money back. I recently added 2 more PW2. So now 4 PW2 with my...

    Gen 3 Wall Charger WPA2/WPA3 compatibility Issue

    everything went offline because anything switching from wpa2 to wpa3 needs to be reconnected with the password and all. they don't just auto switch over. so if wpa3 is now working on the wall connector, we still don't know yet. but it's nice to see that wpa2/wpa3 is working.

    Powerwall+ Wifi Connected but using Cellular

    Further testing - the channel for 5ghz matters. My Sunpower PVS6 and Powerwalls might have the same wifi chip. Neither of them like the 5ghz UNII-3 channels. I tried using channel 149 and they both went offline. Switched back to channel 36 and they picked up right away.

    Powerwall+ Wifi Connected but using Cellular

    I've tested this quite a bit: Powerwall 2- it uses Wifi5 according to my Unifi setup. It will connect fine on any network that has 2.4 and 5ghz combined. It will prefer 5ghz. No need for band steering. It does not like DFS channels. If you have DFS on, it will not connect to 5ghz. For the...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    So I've had the car for a few weeks now and I must say this - there is no way in hell this car gets 300 miles of battery range. Granted I have the 22s but my car now has 390 miles on it and I've charged it 3 times. The first time was when I bought it. It was at around 70% and I charged it to 90%...

    Gen 3 Wall Charger WPA2/WPA3 compatibility Issue

    I needed to swap my 18 foot cable wall connector for the 24. Installed it again and noticed it has a newer firmware 21.36.5. Tested my wpa3 network and it still didn't work.

    Gen 3 Wall Charger WPA2/WPA3 compatibility Issue

    Manual clearly says: Wall Connector only supports WPA2/3-secured, 2.4 GHz, 802.11 infrastructure mode networks. NOTE: Hidden networks are supported. NOTE: WPA enterprise will be supported in a future firmware update. Has anyone tried WPA3 only? I wonder if that works.

    Gen 3 Wall Charger WPA2/WPA3 compatibility Issue

    Just installed a Wall Connector for my upcoming Plaid X. I have a Unifi network and had to create a separate SSID that uses only WPA2 because WPA2/WPA3 transition doesn't work for it. Its weird because on WPA2, I set PMF to optional just like transition mode as well as Group Key Interval - it...
