Update My Powerwall+ (just the PW, not the inverter) was replaced today and my system is back online. I am pleasantly surprised by Tesla’s response time. My system was back online with a Powerwall replaced within 22 hours of me calling in to report the “thermal event”. From what I was told, an...

Thank you all for the feedback, I will follow up. I did ultimately flip the 2 Powerwall breakers off in addition to the toggle switches on the side panels of both Powerwalls. The techs assure me that the failsafes worked. Something appears to have blown in my Powerwall+ unit as there is...

I would appreciate feedback from other owners that had a related incident, or others with systems in their garage that have better monitoring than me. I don't think smoke detectors work well in a garage even without any ICE usage, especially in humid climates. I don't think a rate of temperature...

I had this happen yesterday with the 2022.44.30.5 update on my Model 3. This was my 41st update with this car and I hadn’t heard of this happening before. Things the car remembered: It stayed connected to my Tesla account BT connections Wifi connections Things the car forgot: Local driver...

That all makes sense. But now I’m worried about the grid being available but my home having no power due to either the gateway and/or Powerwall+ controller failing! I don’t know enough about these systems to know if they could be designed to fail in a state that would allow the home to still be...

I had an 8.16 kW panel system with 2 Powerwalls installed by Tesla in Tampa, FL. It took my 4 months to get PTO, which I received from my utility company via email. My Tesla account does not reflect it yet. Pictures of my system/installation are in an unrelated thread here. I called and emailed...

Thanks for the insight into that. Not being able to restart the backup switch makes me somewhat glad I have a gateway. Though it would be easier if I had my utility service disconnect breaker within the gateway rather than fiddling with my meter panel. I will update this thread with a picture of...

Thanks. It may have been a coincidence that my gateway finally powered off after I disconnected my home from the grid. Perhaps I didn’t wait long enough during my prior ”full” system power cycle previously. If the system acts up again I’ll do the steps more slowly and see what happens. I would...

The light was still blinking in my gateway (BG2) when I turned everything off except for my utility service breaker. When I was on the phone with Tesla support they did not tell me to specific disconnect my home from the grid (via my utility service breaker/disconnect). They only told me to turn...

Have you tried opening your service disconnect after opening (turning off) all the Tesla equipment? I turned off (opened breakers/switches) all the Tesla stuff like I normally would this morning. I also opened the main breaker of my main panel. I could still see a blinking light through the...

Update: system is fixed. A full power cycle of the home was needed, including opening my service disconnect within my meter panel (the portion beneath the meter in my photos in my post above). Initially I only power cycled the Tesla equipment: toggle switches on the Powerwalls, AC disconnect...

I’m having a similar problem except my Powerwalls are blinking. Reset doesn’t help. Support had to open an escalated ticket and in waiting for remote diagnosis. No TEG SSID broadcast and Ethernet doesn’t work either...

Thanks. In Tesla solar/Powerwall installations, do they still connect to the cloud? How do they connect to Tesla’s hardware (Backup Gateway 2 and Powerwall+ in my case) I’ve not seen the meter(s) on my network, only the gateway inside the upper unit of my Powerwall+ connects to my home’s...

Thanks for the info. I plan on running ethernet to the upper box of my Powerwall+. I don’t know how to refer to the thing. I know that it is an inverter but in my system it also acts as the gateway supposedly, where my Backup Gateway 2 is not in full control like it would be in a non Powerwall+...

Do the Neurio devices broadcast from an SSID starting with PWRView? I’m trying to troubleshoot my system and during a power cycle I noticed an SSID like that. If that is how you’re accessing your Neurios, what IP address do you use to get to their web UI?

I’ve been using the system for the past 3 months while waiting for PTO. I received PTO today, 115~ days since passing my install inspection, and my system is broken. The irony 🤣. Tesla support submitted a ticket and told me to give them 3-5 days to remotely diagnose the system. They’ll either...

I have a Powerwall+, Powerwall2, and Backup Gateway 2 installed in June 2021. The solar gateway / inverter / thing-on-top-of-the-Powerwall+ is connected to my home network via wifi. I have a 2nd gen eero system (J010011) in a 1,900 sq ft 2-story home. I’ve been polling the system using the...

This topic has been discussed over here: Discussion: How to get status information from your Powerwalls I think there’s a Google Sheets setup detailed in there. There are also a few projects out there that the OP alluded to which gather data from Powerwalls on your local home network. Here are...

Are you talking about the Tesla mobile app or your own data logger? I’ve been having local API auth issues since the upgrade. I’ve yet to detect a meaningful pattern. I eventually get a timeout from one of my requests and then my app (Python) is unable to reconnect. Reconnection attempts time...

My system updated midday (2:30 PM EST) to 21.31.2 yesterday. I don’t see a solar production dip in my graph today in the Tesla app but I did get some 0 values from the meter from my own local API monitoring, which may be higher resolution than what the Tesla app shows from the cloud API. I want...

Thanks for the follow up. I’ve yet to see the temp go above 100F in my garage so far according to my Model 3’s reported exterior temp and the display of my garage door opener’s button panel. Granted, I don’t spend much time in there monitoring it.

Thank you both for the feedback. I’ll look into adding a heat detector, even though we don’t expect any combustion to be occurring in or near our garage. I haven’t heard of a heat detector before🤦‍♂️.

Congrats OP on the win with your HOA. I think this is on topic for this thread: what is the consensus for what owners with Powerwalls indoors (garage, basement, etc) should do regarding heat/smoke detection or fire suppression? I figured a smoke detector would be sufficient, since we have an EV...

Before my install, I didn’t have any insight into our energy consumption beyond our monthly electric bill. I found our traditional electric water heater to be a surprising energy hog. I found the daily home graph in the Tesla app made it clear to see how often our air conditioning system was...

My system is doing the daily 10 min solar production outage around 7:30 AM. I’m on version 21.31.1 and the night reset using the e-stop switch doesn’t seem to work anymore to move the daily reset out of solar production hours. I’ve tried on 2 different evenings so far.

Have not had this issue yet but it makes me glad I had them install the Powerwalls in my garage. They would have been on the side of my house where the light would be visible from the street and I figured kids (or kid-minded adults) would be compelled to have a look or mess with the toggle...

It seems that they also fixed the Powerwall charging briefly from the grid over and over again once their state of energy drops to the reserve level. I’m not sure if this has been discussed here. There was some discussion on Reddit about it, my post with screenshots here:

The Impact page of the new version of the mobile app is correctly showing Powerwall usage for me. I have an 8.16 kW panel system with a Powerwall+ and a Powerwall 2.

I’m not seeing that with my system. I haven’t done a manual reset since the new firmware and I’ve had 2 days with no solar drop out so far.

🤣 nah I enjoy learning about more and more things having been done wrong with my install. The crew lead today told me that the conduit on the roof is supposed to terminate in a U shape under the panels like you described. Where water would have to flow up the surface of the roof to enter the...

I haven’t done an off-grid test in weeks. I tried it a couple of times in early July and my Powerwalls were at a high SOE, 95-100%. It seemed like the entire house’s load toggled on/off 4-5 times in the first few seconds as I switched to off-grid mode using the software button from the...

It’s taken many phone calls and emails, talking to many people in several departments, I had a crew with Tesla maintenance/ops come inspect/fix my water ingress issue today. I unexpectedly had a scheduler call me Wednesday around 11:15 AM EST trying to see if I would be available that same...

I had a 8.16 kW solar panel, 1x Powerwall+, 1x Powerwall 2 installed in June. I don’t know about the DC-coupling, but I would like clarity on that. In off-grid mode (either when grid is down or physically disconnecting from the grid, or using the software off-grid button) there is no major...

No dropout for me this morning in either my own local API data or visible via the latest iOS app. I did not manually restart/reset the system. I’m still showing the same firmware that I’ve been on since Wednesday. 🤷‍♂️

My system upgraded to 21.31.0 yesterday morning around 2:00 AM EST. I had not had a daily solar production dropout in a few days up until that point (after using my e-stop in the evening beforehand). Today I had a dropout around 8:30 AM EST which is a little later in the morning than is has...

Interesting thread. I was similarly annoyed learning about this topic during my ordering process a couple months ago. Something that stood out to me, was that my ESS interconnect agreement with TECO had different power tiers as explained below. This agreement is called a STANDARD...

I used the e-stop switch yesterday evening and did not have a production dropout today. I have no idea what reset my timer after my last attempt.

So I ended up having what I thought were 2 days of no solar production drop out. We’ve had a lot of bad weather, so it could be that it just wasn’t clearly evident in the daily solar graph what was happening. Now that we’ve had several days of normal sunshine, I can see that my dropout reset to...

I purchased the Teslapuck jack pads on Amazon last year when I bought my car and haven’t tried using them until today. In my first picture the pad is unloaded. In my second picture I started putting load through the pad but this wasn’t enough to lift the wheel off the ground. The pad is already...

Well there’s one thing we can be certain of, in 50-60 days I still won’t have PTO. 🤣

I’ve not had a solar production drop out in 2 days now. To recap I used my red e-stop/RSD switch after sunset 2 days ago, and could not really tell if it did anything. My system had been exhibiting the behavior discussed in this thread up until that point (between 8 AM - 10:30 AM).

”Stop System” button is available in the customer side of the gateway/inverter local web UI. I’ve used it before, but I can’t recall exactly what it did. I know that I see the system presented differently in the Tesla app (iOS) when I use either of the 3 options. In some cases I see a...

I monitored the status and running properties returned from /api/sitemaster yesterday. The values did not change at all during the day, and I had no solar production drop out (as I reported yesterday). The values also did not change in the evening yesterday, despite me using the e-stop/RSD...

I noticed earlier this month that my nominal_full_pack_energy increased by 690 wH after a firmware update (21.24.1). I had been steadily getting 13724 from my PW+ and 13630 from my PW2 (27354 total). Then 10 minutes later, after the system had restarted due to the firmware update, I get 14069...

I didn’t have a drop to 0 today! Even though I couldn’t tell if my e-stop use last night had any effect. I was polling the sitemaster endpoint around the time I expected it to reset based on yesterday’s reset. I didn’t see any state change. I’ll poll it this evening around the time I used the...

Off topic: from what I’ve read on here, system_status is thought to be good for monitoring degradation over time. Look for ‘nominal_full_pack_energy’. You’ll find it at the system level, and then listed for each Powerwall. At least this is what I have been tracking. I’ve noticed the value jump...

I’ve noticed my start_time and up_time_seconds reset each time my system has a firmware update. Like @darryllee sees, my last_toggle_timestamp did not change when I used the e-stop/RSD switch. It shows the same value as my start_time (from /status/)...

I used the e-stop switch button this evening. Will see how solar production goes tomorrow. Is there a way to tell that the inverter is off/rebooting via the local API? I checked the /api/status endpoint before I used the e-stop today and it reports that my system has been up since the last...

I don’t know of a way to force an update. Maybe the (here comes the API talk again) /api/system/update/status GET request can be used? I think I was on 21.20.4 before my system upgraded to 21.24.1. In another thread here, many users in CA were reporting that their systems upgraded to 21.20.5...

Welcome. That’s funny about the API calls. Let us know what equipment you have, particularly which inverter(s). I hadn’t seen anyone mention a solution yet. I’m glad that I’m not the only one experiencing the behavior. @sk00 said that their shutdowns seemed to have stopped after a firmware...
