I don't know, there's certainly high level information available to feed the app, but it would be nice to have a simple set of contacts with a defined logic.Wayne, do you know if the gateway has an accessible status signal?
210.12(B) now has an exception that allow extending existing wiring up to 6 feet without causing the AFCI requirement to kick in, as long as no new loads are added.A complicating issue with change is the Arc Fault requirement which may kick in if you modify things (unless you currently have AFCI outlets).
There are many ways to configure a Powerwall system for this location. Figuring out the best would require an ordered list of loads to backup if possible. An important limitation to keep in mind is that with 1 Powerwall, Tesla will only allow circuits up to 30A to be backed up; with 2 Powerwalls, 60A; etc. This is a simple, approximate way for them to express the power output limitation of the Powerwall.
