1.36.0

[eml2]

My PW2 got an update to 1.36.0 (from 1.34.3) yesterday. Now, I notice that the Grid Code from the Web UI Summary page is empty. Is anyone seeing this too?

I got 1.36.0 yesterday as well but haven't noticed any differences. There aren't any new release notes yet, of course.

I got it as well...I don't know what changed if anything.

Has anyone noticed changes in TBC-Balanced behavior? I noticed since receiving 1.36.1 (and maybe 1.36.0) that my Powerwalls no longer discharge down to the reserve. I currently have the reserve set to 30% and the Powerwalls used to power the house until 3 am. Over the last few days, they stopped powering the house when they got to 37%, around 9 pm.

I am on 1.35.2 still (TBC-Balanced) and the PW stopped powering at 25-29% with reserve at 20%. Never gets close to reserve. NEVER discharges off-peak 11pm-7am.

I've fudged my "shoulder" period so that my Powerwalls intentionally power the house about 22 hours a day. Up until I got 1.36.0 (or 1.36.1), the Powerwalls would power the house right up until 3 am every morning, as desired. My Powerwalls never discharge in the off-peak period either, but I currently only have that set for a couple hours per day.

Now, it's almost like they are using the actual peak/shoulder/off-peak times instead of what I have it programmed to do as it stops around 9 pm when the shoulder rate actually ends. Maybe that's just a coincidence. However, things aren't working as they have for the past 8 months and I didn't make any changes to my TBC-balanced schedule.

As many others have requested, I hope they come up with a "Scheduled Self-Production" mode. As it is now, we have to use TBC with "different" peak/shoulder/off-peak schedules to power the house as desired.

What happens in the shoulder period, the unspecified areas in the Tesla app, is interesting. 9-11pm shoulder. The system decides to stop discharging at 10:30pm. It seems like the TBC uses some intelligence by talking to projected price data from the utility. Pricing data comes out a day in advanced, so considering how long it takes for changes on the app to go into effect, Tesla could likewise program shoulder behavior a day in advance.
