So I was just upgraded to 20.49.0 and was a little peeved by the change to the local API which broke my monitoring. I ended up coding around it but was wondering if anyone here knows how long the AuthCookie and UserRecord cookies are valid for? I see the expiration for these are marked as...

I'm consistently seeing a lot more of those "Not connected to Tesla" messages to. If I leave the screen up for a while, it goes in and out much more frequently than before. I'm also experiencing a lot more "Connection Timed out" messages when trying to make direct API calls. It usually...

Strange, I was just coming into to post saying that we've always assumed that Tesla servers push the mode change updates to the Gateways in hourly intervals. But perhaps the Gateway actually polls the Tesla servers for the update hourly and with 1.40.1 maybe they increased the polling...

Got 1.40.1 a few days ago (doesn't appear to have broken the API or any automation I have in place). One huge thing I noticed is that updates made via the Tesla App now take effect within a minute or so (rather than during the one hour propagation window they used to have). I would think a...

Just received 1.39.2 a few minutes ago. I have a lua script running as a scene on my Vera plus home automation controller to poll the grid status every 20 seconds for proactive notifications of a power outage. It also alerts me if there is connectivity loss with the gateway which...

Has anyone seen their local Powerwall monitoring page show this? At the time, I had my PW in TBC - Cost Savings mode so that I could run my house of battery while dumping all my solar into the grid for an Ohm Hour. However, I do not have my PW provisioned for any type of Grid Service demand...

Yes, you understand Ohm Hours correctly and I've faced the same issues with it myself for that same reason. My strategy has been a little different......I typically run in self-consumption mode (reserve set to 70%) most of the time. I try to target hours where the sun is transitioning (e.g...

Another way to do this besides logging into the gateway's web interface (if you are technically inclined) is to utilize the API (documentation is floating around these boards). Personally, I have an Android phone and use Tasker + RESTask plugin to make the necessary calls for the this. That...

I'm in the US and just got bumped from 1.35.2 to 1.37.0 today.

I'm not sure how tech savvy you guys are but you can write your own script to check the PW's grid status value via the local API and kick off a notification when the grid is down. Originally, I had an Android box with Tasker installed to check every minute and send notifications to multiple...

After facing the same dilemma outlined in the OP, I decided to write my own monitoring script using the local API to proactively detect a grid outage and send notifications to my phone and other parts of my house. Originally, I was using an Android box (Minix Neo X5) and Tasker to monitor every...

Yes, in addition, I use the API to make the changes take effect immediately and that didn't solve the issue. It seems this problem only lasted one day. I did not observe the issue after the initial report. The only other change/environment difference was the fact it happened to be raining...

I was updated to 1.28 on Dec 3rd and just got the 1.29 update a few minutes ago. The api was acting funky for a little bit after the update (e.g. calls were not successful when the unit was not started). Seems to have fixed itself after a few minutes though. Other than that, no changes.

My typical pattern is to run in self-consumption mode with the reserve set to 70%. I don't use a lot of power so this usually let's me run from sundown until about midnight on battery power and then switch over to using grid power until the sun comes up the next day. This always runs like...

It's funny that I've now seen this twice on this board. I had a positive experience with them. Granted I had to be on top of them but I expect to have to do that with any installer.

My firmware was updated to 1.28 yesterday as well. I do not see any changes to the UI nor have there been any changes to the API that I can detect (all my monitoring and mode changing scripts still work as before). I have not yet had a real power outage while yet so I hope any anomalies...

Last week, in Southern California, there was a high wind/red flag (fire danger) alert issued and many electric companies were preparing to proactively shut down the grid in certain areas as a precautionary measure. This triggered a Stormwatch alert so my powerwalls started charging to 100% per...

I was just updated today as well. Home/local monitoring (and automated scripts) are all still running fine. Don't see any apparent changes from 1.25.0 either.

Sorry, I didn't see your original reply. Initially, it is any email address and "S" + S/N of the Gateway. But in 1.21.0+ once the wizard completes, a new random password is generated and used as the password moving forward. If this is the case (and you don't have the random password), you...

I was updated to 1.23.0 yesterday (coming from 1.22.0) and just received an update to 1.25.0 a few minutes ago. I've logged into the web interface and poked around but no real obvious changes (minor tweak to the UI). The powerwall still stops after logging in as an installer even if you don't...

You can take the 30% ITC and still apply for the SGIP rebate as well (have your cake and eat it too). The only stipulation on SGIP is you are agreeing to discharge/energy shift a certain amount per year (for 5 years) instead of using it in backup-only mode (and the discharge doesn't have to be...

Yeah, that's what I've heard. Fortunately, I haven't run into any issues yet......hoping I get upgraded (or downgraded back to 1.21.0) soon.

Yeah, I had the same experience with 1.21. I was on 1.17.1 and upgraded to 1.21.0. about 1.5 weeks later, I was downgraded to 1.17.2 for no apparent reason. A week or 2 after that, I was moved back to 1.21.0 and then 1.22.1 a few days after that.

Connect to the Gateway's own wifi as described in the previously posted link. Once you are in, you can access the "Network" section (either as an installer or via the Customer setup) and change your network connection mode. One of the options is "WiFi" and it allows you to connect the gateway...

This happened to me last week when Tesla was having issues on there end. At one point, the app even logged me out and when I tried logging back in, it said there were no products associated with my account. Eventually, it all fixed itself. And yes, it is definitely hiding the option when it...

I used LA Solar for my PV + 2 Powerwall (whole home backup) installation. As others stated, their pricing on the solar system was excellent but their battery pricing was higher than I would like. Still on par with other non-Telsa installers and the the SGIP incentive is guaranteed (plus it is...

@rnull, I'm able to authenticate fine on 1.17.2. I believe the issue may be that you have "force_sm_off" set to false. I believe as of 1.17.1 this needs to be set to true. I am also using "installer" as my username instead of leaving it blank but this may have been left over from updates I...

I've been running 1.21.0 for at least a week now and, for some reason, my Powerwalls were just downgraded to 1.17.2. Has this happened to anyone else? I wonder what the reason would be. Ever since I got my Powerwalls installed in March, my upgrade path has been: 1.15.0 > 1.17.1 > 1.20.0 >...

I got the update today. So far, the only thing I can see different is they changed the parameters when calling /api/operation (for those of you using the API). "mode" is no longer the parameter to pass. They changed it to "real_mode" for both the POST and the response. Haven't messed around...

Sorry, I missed your message before. Yes, I understand how this works for OhmConnect. What I was saying is that between 5-7pm, I'm already using all the electricity my solar panels are providing (for cooking or the AC, etc). So as far as the grid is concerned, I'm usually consuming 0Kwh or...

Just an FYI, if anyone is using the API to make instant changes to the mode or reserve percentage, they now require the authentication token to be passed in the header of the GET request made to /api/sitemaster/run for the changes to take effect (and restart the powerwall).

The exact same symptoms would happen to me when my gateway was connected to WiFi even on 1.15.0 (API endpoints were accessible though). Connecting to the Gateway via ethernet (it's actually ethernet to a separate Netgear WiFi Client Bridge) allowed me to use the Web UI again. Since then...

Exactly! I use one of these configured as a client bridge instead of the built-in wifi: N300 - WiFi Range Extender - Essentials Edition Night and day difference. Have had no issues connecting locally on 1.17.1 with Ethernet and Cellular both enabled.

I've been having a really hard time with OhmConnect also ever since I installed solar + 2 Powerwalls. I've heard it's easier for people to "game the system" if they have an EV that they routinely charge during a certain time of day that coincides with an OhmHour. They simply don't charge at...

Are you talking about the iPhone native app or accessing the web interface from the gateway? We are talking about accessing the web interface from the gateway. The web interface for version 1.17.2 seems to be missing the line between solar and grid. It's just a rendering/display issue though...

I just received the 1.17.1 update (coming from 1.15.1) a few hours ago and can confirm the same issue.
