    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    A point of reference for those like me who see the logic in a 1" fitting, fitting into a 1" hole. The knockouts in the GW2 are 1 and 1/16 inch give or take a few mms, which fits a ¾" fitting. Ethernet connector even with the safety tab fit easily through the fitting pictured in the Amazon link...

    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    Yea well, heaven forbid a 1" fitting should fit a 1" hole! I had ordered before post #112 so I guess it will be returned. There is no stress on the cable so I'm not worried about not having a fitting on there until I get the right size. Obviously I don't do this kind of thing very often...

    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    Thanks, I had ordered an eNet cable and this exact fitting from Amazon. I got the 1" Fitting, I assume I need that for the hole that is 1" unless you need a 1" hole for a ½" fitting. If so then I can return it. Amazon got me the cable in 1 day (today) fitting comes Thursday. Knock out was...

    I got the first GW2 installed in the Phoenix, AZ area. That was June 2020. Crew had said it was the first one they had seen.

    I think they may have installed an old GW when it was installed. Pictured above right PW is a GW2

    Thanks, I've got a cable coming in tomorrow. I'll give it a go.

    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    Is there some magic trick to opening knock out holes? Every time I've done that I'm pounding on the usually junction box, wrangling it to get the damn thing out. Don't really want to do it that with the GW. 5150Code3's picture in post #92 is the same type of knock out as mine. Is there a...

    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    I got the oops email. I had thought I had a GW2. When it was installed 1.5 years ago the crew was all excited because it was the first one they had installed. It went from a plain gray box to the shinny white box with Tesla plaster on it. I think I still want to hook up the ethernet since...

    THANK YOU! Now I have a weekend project :)

    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    I opened the panel door to the gateway. You must have to remove the cowling because there is no ethernet port visible by just opening the panel door. It's too close to peak time to screw with the gateway. I'll check it out over the weekend. Same here. Just checked again after reading here...

    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    I'm enjoying not having to edit the peak setting twice a day. Still seems like i'm forgetting to do something everyday. :-) Got an email from Tesla today saying that in January the 3g service is going away. It gave direction on how to enable wifi on the system. Of course in the usual Tesla...

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    I see what you mean about the reentering when editing. I've gone ahead and put the sell at .01. This AM was still working as expected with it at zero. Will check again on Monday with the new .01 sell value. I just don't want to be selling back during peak unless my battery is full and the...

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    Things went as they should this morning so maybe zeroing out the sell worked, I'll play around with it. I've changed to Average Demand plan. Won't kick in till next billing cycle. I don't feel bad about being confused by it. Called SRP thinking I'm just changing plans, didn't call the solar...

    Ahhh, ok, I thought it was the average between the demands you accumulated not everyday. I will definitely give that a closer look.

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    I don't think the average demand plan would be a benefit to me. I don't regularly draw during peak. Rarely do I draw more than once in a rate period, 99% of the time I'm off the grid durning peak (my goal). My most likely draw is in the winter when the ground water is cold and the tankless...

    A rather inauspicious start to the brave new world. Kudos to my wife who took care of the twice a day editing of the split peak period while I was out of town. New abilities appeared late last week in my area. Set it up over the weekend. Was paying attention to what it was doing over the...

    I'm also at 21:35.3. The magic number is 21:39. When I called and talked to someone at Tesla customer service, they said nothing would happen until it was at 21:39 and even then it could take awhile to get their rate plans to your area. As scotsmanswan said, I don't care about the preprogramed...

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    They had announced the increases awhile ago, about the same time as APS announced theirs except APS did it right then and there. SRP said it was happening in November. I think it was sometime after the 1st of the year. They took forever to update the rate charts. I called them in October...

    Is the Darwin's PowerWall manager a script that runs on the Habitat Hub? I haven't found anywhere to download the app.

    Just switching am to pm gives you a shoulder period. My system will discharge the battery during shoulder period. Look at my pic on post #35. Everything is yellow (peak) or blue (off peak). On my system the red shoulder period is where the battery was discharging Sunday night / Monday...

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    It's a very small sample size but setting up with just peak and off-peak worked just like the old app. No battery usage between 9p and 5a. The problem I ran into on Sunday was because it was the first time I had a shoulder period which I think, on my system caused the battery usage. The old...

    Wow, the grilling needed to get SolarEdge monitoring access...

    Thanks for the reply. Connecting via Ethernet is not a problem believe it or not. There's a mesh node very close which is what's feeding wifi to the garage. It also has an Enet port. I'm on the road at the moment, will check this when I get back.

    I leave tomorrow for a couple of weeks. I've had my wife practicing all weekend going through the motions of changing the peak periods. She usually has nothing to do with the system. I will be checking from my CDT location (Houston) but wanted to get her up to speed just incase trying to...

    It's 3 am, 2 hrs before the first split peak of the season. At 9 pm my battery was at 100% and in standby. Just for gins I checked the app on my 3 am pee run. Battery down to 87% discharging in Off-Peak period????? So what, am I going to have to set an alarm for 4:55 am every morning and...

    Wow, the grilling needed to get SolarEdge monitoring access...

    I have a Solar Edge inverter with my system. I just noticed that there was a Solar Edge app. Looks like it has some interesting information and if for no other reason it works in the Landscape mode on an iPad. I get a crick in my neck while reading the Tesla app. :-) Do I just register the...

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    Interesting, I'll have to look at that. I rarely get hit with the demand charge. Day one I got hit, didn't get commissioned until 3:30 pm so no time to charge the batteries. There were only a few days left in my billing cycle so it was prorated, wasn't horrible. One time I was doing...

    App updated to 4.2.2 today. Was hoping this was going to be the magic ticket . . . nope, same old same old. Just for gins and I had some stuff to do on the computer while I was waiting on hold, I called tech support to see if they might know when it was rolling out to my area. Of course they...

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    I'm not sure what the great technical challenge is. Seems simple to give the app the ability to schedule multiple peak periods. Yes it would be nice to be able to have your utilities rate plans selectable within the app but that seems like the hard way to do it. While Tesla has info on my...

    Utility Rate Plans Where are they?

    Wow, nice to see when there is a new reply. :-) It's a bit of a head scratcher. I understand the rolling it out, but it would seem that if you had the same firmware (21:35) and same app version (4.2.0) you'd have the same capabilities. Apparently that's not the case. Gradually rolling out...

    Ok very strange. My bell shows a list of the alerts. At the bottom gives options of Show All, Mark Read, Preferences which preferences takes me to the preference page where all the email notify options are selected. There is also a Unwatch option at the top of the thread which means I'm...

    Yes the bell shows changes. But shouldn't you get notified by email if there is a reply in the thread? All other forums I belong to do that. It would seem in the preferences you can set that up which I have. I'm subscribed to this thread because I started it which is covered by the email...

    Thanks for the information. With your powerwall on 21.35 are you seeing the new features that 4.2.0 brings to the table? When I go into "Edit Custom Rate Plan" I have a "Add New Rate Period" button which I would think would do the trick but it is ghosted. If it's working for you on...

    I'm on IOS, as per Milmuras suggestion I went back in the update history and I'm showing version 4.2.0 so it is the latest and greatest. I'm also showing 21.35.0 in the app under version which must mean that is the firmware version. It would be nice if it were more precisely labeled...

    Is this just in messages and not a thread? I just logged in to see the status of the thread, didn't see it then saw the message indicator. Was also checking to see if I had notify of reply checked which I didn't find that option in my account. I can not find an app version number in the app...

    I've got the latest app update. The what's new talked about Utility Rate Plans and ability to add more than 1 peak period. I've looked at Utility Rate Plans | Tesla Support which is saying the same thing. I'm 2 weeks away from having a split peak rate period, 5a-9a then 5p-9p for 6 months...
