    Fuse / Relay information not in manual

    I can't for the life of me find the layout of fuses in the manual or online. I have RHD 2018 Model X 100D. I'm specifically looking for the CID fuse. See attached photos of fuse box in the frunk

    Powerwall reduces solar production when battery full

    You can see on the extended graph for both properties the voltage increase Rural holiday home - Tia St Atiamuri NZ 10.900kW | Live Output Urban Home - Dayna Ave Tauranga NZ 11.600kW | Live Output So i guess the next question is, is there anything I can do? Do i need to increase the tolerance...

    Powerwall reduces solar production when battery full

    I have solar edge inverter and yes they do alarm and say over voltage and stop producing for 60 seconds at times for the rural site; the solax one does not. The second site which is urban has 2 solar edge inverters, never get alarms and thats the second graph i posted. right now the battery is...

    Powerwall reduces solar production when battery full

    Here is an example from a different property, 120km away; 2 powerwall2, grid tied; and when i start to export to the grid, solar production drops off, but if i add load to the house such as charging my car, solar production increases. So for some reason the powerwall is telling the solar to backoff.

    Powerwall reduces solar production when battery full

    Has anyone else noticed their solar production become very spikey and production drops off when the battery is full, this system is grid tied to it starts to export? Here is an example of one of my properties where clear blue sky and sunny, battery is full, then when it starts exporting to the...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    That makes sense then, I removed my token as I didn't want the API randomly waking up my car; i don't know how to read the code to tell if its coded in a good way :)

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Out of interest, do you connect your car to the API so it stops / starts? I'm guessing my charger doesn't have the ability to stop start and it needs to use the API perhaps

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Will give it a go; i don't want to be importing so have disabled as suggested. I also have no schedule at all for this address, but do plan for a schedule for my holiday home, so guests can only charge on green and between 11pm-7am which is our off-peak. cheers

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    yeah it was in the screen i was getting that debug info, there is nothing about web calls or anything, i am on debug 7 so may change that to higher and see if there is anything else; however thought i'd wait a few more hours for the sun to shine to see what it does

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    its going on 10pm here and I noticed my car was charging at 1kw and there is no sun. So i just restarted TWCManager and I'm not seeing any queries to the tesla powerwall, even though i can query it manually just fine. Is there a timer so to not query in the evening or something? Power available...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    @CDragon Thanks for your great work on this project; i wonder if you would be able to help with a couple of things if you feel like it :) 1./ @sparkypete has made a great Tesla Powerwall integration, i wonder if this could be merged into main code branch. 2./ I wonder if it would be possible to...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Been running it for 24 hrs now and worked perfectly yesterday. I believe there is something missing for retry; such that I changed the IP address of the RPi to one that conflicted with another device and it was offline for an hour before it got DHCP; when i went into the screen session there was...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    You are a legend, i was just about to start googling this as I have just built my unit for install tomorrow and was going to find out how to read off the power wall to see if we could charge when exporting, rather than importing from the grid. Will test this out over the next few days. Do you...

    Do i need to worry about anything specific for NZ/AU which is 230V rather than 110V? Max amps is 32A here per power phase

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Would be cool if the TWCManager could be purchased as a completed device; anyone out there with time on their hands want to make me one so I can just get it installed? I'm fine on the linux/networking side; just not on the physical construction of it :)

    Way to fool power wall to export to grid

    @BJReplay in your example, what is the relay doing, obviously not sending a signal just closing the circuit? how does a CT work? if i was to just bridge the two wires would that make it think there is load? then if i added resistance it would limit or tell the neurio how much the load is?

    Way to fool power wall to export to grid

    These are the ideas I Was after. Adding additional CT's is no trouble i have a spare. I'm thinking a Y on the CT would have to be the way else the main CT would see export at the time and try dial back the battery so work against each other if they weren't in a Y configuration but clamped and...

    Way to fool power wall to export to grid

    Hey guys, Anyone know if there is a way to fool the PW into exporting more energy than the house requires so it exports to the grid? For instance, could one connect an additional CT to the mix and somehow fake an additional 2kw of load to the house so the PW exports 2kw to the grid? I know...

    Does PW vary battery charge rate depending on load from grid?

    Thanks @cwied ; the wizard for NZ doesn't show max feed in but does have a max export. When you select NZ it does state the frequency and voltage, so I suspect maybe they have set the max AMPS from grid. I just don't want to be in a situation of ToU where we cooking dinner late one night at...

    Does PW vary battery charge rate depending on load from grid?

    Sorry Shygar, i think you mis read my question. My feed in from the grid is only 63Amps (~15kw). Does the power wall have any smarts not to charge at its full rate when other loads (charging car, spa pool, oven etc) are using the grid, as if I exceed ~15kw from the grid, it will pop the fuse in...

    Does PW vary battery charge rate depending on load from grid?

    Hey guys. I have 2 tesla powerwall2, in backup mode it charges from the grid at ~1.7kw per pw, so 3.4kw for the 2. In ToU setting it charges from the grid at about 6.4kw for the 2 powerwalls. In New Zealand (and australia I believe and perhaps the UK) the max feed in for residential is 63A on...

    Powerwall 2: Technical

    My SolarEdge sees a grid fault and turns off, then after 60 seconds wakes up; i suspect it notices the 50ms or what ever it is outage. I have another address with 2 powerwall2 and 2 solar edge HD5000's and they behave the same way

    Powerwall 2: Technical

    Sorry to be reviving such an old post, but i found it by chance and the only one i could find to do with ramp of frequency. Do you know of anything new in this space?

    Adding another 5.7kw solar to my power wall that already has 5.7kw

    Fair enough, thanks for your input; so i guess i just let them wire the second lot of solar to the backup gateway directly for safety.

    Adding another 5.7kw solar to my power wall that already has 5.7kw

    Yeah; i don't mind the feeding back to the grid any excess over 5kw; its more to cater for winter time when there is less sun light. The thing is I didn't realise they would have to isolate it; i have seen a video of an ozzie bloke where he tested off grid and when the power wall was reaching...

    Hey guys. I'm installing a second lot of solar to my home that has a single powerwall2 where i have an existing 5.7kw array. Apparently the installer is telling me that I need to wire the second 5.7kw direct to the backup gateway as in the event of a power cut the inverter in the power wall...

    Powerwall 2 Gateway API Documentation

    Thats a real shame; however understandable. I will still be using API calls as my ToU is a bit more complex than standard, just wanted to enable their ToU so that it charged the batteries faster (runs twice as fast as 'backup'). Im also noticing the API calls don't always activate. while i see...

    Powerwall in self_consumption mode but only half from battery

    What is your Powerwall 2 charging rate?
