Last night we had a planned power outage scheduled to begin between 10-11p until 6am. PW's were charged and set to go. I usually am in self powered most of the time and was last night after about 8pm. Yesterday's data in the app confirms this. Since the house was already on battery, I expected a whole not of nothing to happen. Instead, at 10.30, my UPS's around the house beeped briefly and I saw my cable box and tuning adapter rebooting which was plugged directly into a non UPS power center then to the wall.
If the PW's were already supplying power to the house, why was there a brief interruption? I expect this if the power goes out during the day when solar is powering the house and the PW's have to suddenly take over and shut down the inverters, but since PW was already supply power to the house, regardless of grid status, why was this noticeable?
Another oddity, the notification of the outage said PW was 44% charged. I have two and they were at 88%.
