Ratings and reviews

The app experience is a 4/5. The numbers on the app are dependent on how good the wiring on your battery is. Once my wiring was fixed, the app is great. The smart meter occasionally shows strange things that aren't possible. The app would benefit from using a websocket / persistent connection to show live data rather than web requests every 10 seconds, as this would help keep the data current in a more realistic fashion. Server Sent Events would be ideal for this.

Most useless app around. The pesentages of charge/discharge means nothing as it is definitely not accurate vs. the actual charge/discharge of the system. When the app indicate a fully charged system the PV's still charge at a rate of one to two kilowatt for at the least one and a hour. Message system on app is useless.

I think the app was not wonderful to start with, but has definitely got worse in the last several weeks and particularly the last few days. More often than not now I can't access live data. This makes it impossible to optimise my set up. Avoid them if you can!
