Sure there are. But all you have to do is not touch any of the metal parts. The voltage is not high enough to arc across air.ok - i haven't seen too many pictures of the gateway opened but the tesla documentation made it seem like there were live connections exposed with the panel taken off.
That's not a sufficiently robust safety strategy, particularly for the general public.But all you have to do is not touch any of the metal parts.
Indeed. Nobody will write that down as policy. But I object to the desire on the part of some practitioners to convey an aura of magic regarding electricity. To be safe one must respect electricity and follow certain best practices like wearing gloves. But letting your eyes view what is underneath the deadfront does not put you immediately at risk.That's not a sufficiently robust safety strategy, particularly for the general public.
Obviously not. But the act of removing, as well as replacing, the deadfront does, if the parts behind it are still live. Even with the best intentions, there could be a dropped screw, a broken part, a slip, etc.But letting your eyes view what is underneath the deadfront does not put you immediately at risk.
Power down the main disconnect and all Powerwall & inverter breakers. There should be an internal cover over the grid terminals. If not be extra careful since they are alive unless you pull the meter out or have a switch between the meter and the gateway.
The GW allows installing a line side breaker, which could be the main disconnect. So it can come directly after the meter.shouldn't the gateway be after the main disconnect breaker?
Now you guys have me relooking at my ethernet connection. It is just a cable indoor cat 6 cable from Amazon. It sits under the GW2 box, but is not in conduit. I wonder if there is a way to encase this is something without having to rerun the cable through the wall.

It will automatically get an IP address from your DHCP server (router) and the Gateway will use any available connection among Ethernet / WiFi / Cellular as available. I actually deleted the WiFi information after I connected the Ethernet and the 3G Cellular is now unavailable in my area.I have two combined panel systems, two inverters, one PW and a Tesla Gateway 2. Inside the Gateway 2 is an Ethernet port as shown in earlier posts by others. When I connect an Ethernet cable to that port and a nearby hub connected to my home router, I see flashing green activity lights at the hub and the gateway port. Is this a plug and play connection or does some software need toggling? Would this connection replace the black Neo wireless boxes Tesla provided?
N=1 I haven't had to reboot the gateway for anything other than Tesla handholding. It reboots itself (kind of) periodically with new firmware.i never got around to doing this. my motivation was that at times the wifi connection to the gateway becomes very flaky.
it turns out that this must be some kind of memory leak inside the gateway firmware. when it starts acting up, if i go reboot the gateway it starts working again and works for months at a time. i had assumed the problem was weak wifi but i don't think that's the case.
i have a couple of scripts running that query the API to send stuff to PVOutput, so there's sort of a lot of activity. plus the gateway is sending the data to tesla. perhaps all this API activity is the actual problem, not sure.

I wonder if your API calls are the cause, either by too many logged entries on the Gateway side, or just, as you say, a memory leak. If it is a memory leak, it would have to be somehow associated with the WiFi stack, but not the Ethernet stack (or the switch to Ethernet cable wouldn't have fixed it), which seems...unusual. Possible, but odd.
All the best,
