Configuring a new router, I stumbled across an IP address I didn't recognise. Lo and behold, this appeared in my browser:

It seems to be a way to configure the Gateway which we had installed with the Powerwall 2. For those not in the know, the Gateway is meant to prevent the house losing power when the grid does.

The links below give me the option of logging in as an engineer or customer. After failing a number of times to log in, I found this page on the web and was able to log in following those instructions.

There aren't many options in there. You can see a summary of your system and print that out... mostly tech data, serial numbers, software version etc. But the network option is absolutely vital. Had I not happened upon this, our Gateway would have had a problem as we've just changed our SSID and password for our router and the Gateway was configured to the old one. I've thus been able to update it to the new one. I assume it needs a web connection for software updates and remote access by engineers for troubleshooting etc. The installer told me nothing about this at all.

Anyway, posting it here just in case it helps anyone else.
