    Is there any documentation available on the Configuration Wizard for the Powerwalls? Or has anyone taken screenshots of each step?

    Thanks, Wayne

    There is no documentation that I know of, but if all you want is screenshots of each step, I can try to produce those when my Powerwall is idle (running the wizard turns it off). I may not get the chance until tomorrow, though.

    That would be helpful if it's not too much trouble. I've seen a screenshot or two here in the forum, but nothing comprehensive.

    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Note that on the Operation Settings screen, you'd have the opportunity to set reserve percentage and operation mode if the Powerwall were not set to time-based control. Time-based control cannot currently be configured on the local interface.

    in the process of having a system installed and I have a standby generator with ATS, the installers have not done this before. I think they have changed the password on the gateway as the s/n does not work so I cant check to see if they configured the add generator

    can any one tell me / show me the add generator UI ? he was supposed to have it setup Thursday... but left saying he needed a 'part' so the tesla can talk to the gateway... totally no descriptive at all. so I am trying to get all the knowledge I can before he comes back Monday so I can make sure he has done it correctly

    I started the thread below about interfacing a Powerwall 2 with a generator.

    PowerWall 2 Interface with a Generator

    It is not a trivial thing to do, but I am very glad I have my generator as a backup to the Powerwall.
