Scratching my head thinking of other things to test/try. Phone calls and emails to Tesla and installer. Googling to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Responding to your dumb response.

ProDave Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Thanks for the thread. so when I eventually get some form of battery storage thingy, a requirement high on the list is it WILL NOT need some server to connect to to make it work. It must work all by itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to assume monitoring and reporting. I assume the unit will do its primary job autonomously?

Webwise you can - but very little control i.e. can just check it's "working" If though you get within range of the gateway you can login to its local Wifi. But! ( here's the thing I didn't know ). Though there's a serial number and password on it ; apparently that password gets changed once the installer sets it up ( so you can't log into it because you are believing the password is as it says but it isn't ). So once you get the correct password you can login as long as you are in range of the gateway. You can see it's working; but you are looking at local data not Tesla server data. Since install the PW has had no real issues ( a few hiccups in the App ) ; unlike SolarEdge who dick with the cloud based stuff every week or so causing all kinds of strange behaviour. What took the time today was contacting everyone and obviously me learning a bit more about the PW.... - next time I'll have a better and quicker way to check things.

The PW battery does have a nice light. It was a good solid green is good. Gateway also has nice lights; they were all good too. Agree though a simple coloured light is very reassuring except when it says "all working" and it isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been plenty of examples with Tesla cars / ring doorbell’s - if the cloud infrastructure has an issue YOU have an issue and there isn’t a lot you can do about it .

Pocster Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) In essence the battery was working . I just can’t see it or alter it 🙄 The local WiFi access is a good thing though ( now I can use it ) - because I can gain some control even if Tesla servers disappear .
