Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

[RKCRLR]

New version should fit a bit more in, can you try it (6.1)?

Close. The top is still cut off but I can make out the toast descriptions and it works as expected if I hide the taskbar. Its fine for my use, just letting you know if you want to something about it in the future.
Thanks!

I use the app in landscape mode. When solar starts generating it appears to enlarge the energy sources enough to block the grid energy source icons and the top of the toast messages get cut off. BTW, nice feature!

Would you mind posting a screenshot?
I played with it, changed to your resolution, moved the height and width and full screen. Seems to work for me even with the bar at the bottom but not really sure what is cut off for you.

This is after @tomho's update to 6.1. Before then I would just see the bar.

Thanks, will see if I can squeeze out a few more pixels.

Thanks. No wonder I could not figure out what you are seeing. I didn't have that energy source box checked so I didn't see that bar on the left side bottom.
Then I changed resolution. Yep same thing with mine. Changed back to 1920x1080, problem goes away.

Curious to see if any others would find the following idea useful or indeed if @tomho would be interested in considering the idea.
On the Graphs page is it possible to have a "Custom" setting to allow us to select a range of dates to show a graph rather than a calendar month view.
e.g. to show a graph that aligns with Power Co billing cycle.

Like Enphase as it has custom dates, but you'd have to do that song and dance each month.

Interesting how Enphase graph compares with Powerwall companion at the same time of print screen of solar, yet the total is only 0.3% difference.

It looks like Enphase averages its graph display over 15 minutes increments, so you miss the peaks and valleys.

Yes, they do 15 minutes integration. what a difference yet same totals.

 

[Matt-FL]

I'm sure it is collecting the granular data, but only graphing for every 15 minutes. Probably saves them a lot of CPU cycles for their Azure or Amazon hosting, only having to process and display 4 points versus 60 every hour.

@tomho - I just wanted to reach out and say I think this is a great tool! I just powered up my Powerwall a few days ago, and really like the data/graphs this can pull up on my Windows workstation.

Would it be possible to add a configuration option to show a decimal value (either 1 or 2 decimal points) on the production numbers? I can see them if I hover over the number, but I would like to see the decimal value on the main app pages if possible. See picture below.

Thanks! And keep up the great work!

Sure I can look into that.

 

[charlesj]

Only 2 decimal places? I want down to the mW.

Thanks! That was fast!! It’ll be great to monitor progress.

I assume maximum will be 2 decimals?

You can do 4 if you're brave, but it doesn't look very good...

 

[charlesj]

I was joking.
But, very much appreciate it.

PS had 6.2. something yesterday but now it is back to 6.1 ,

@tomho - With the latest update, I feel like the Yesterday/Today stats are not updating, unless I leave the page and go back to it. Can you check on that? What is the standard refresh interval for the display/data? The current charge and power loads section does seem to update on it's own.

The energy totals should refresh every 5 minutes. I haven't made any changes to that code for ages.
