You should start a Twitter account: @teslaappupdates Make sure you label it as parody, as if it weren't obvious enough.

Oh wait. What app?

Bizarrely, this morning, my Impact showed Powerwall on the graph, but now it's back to 0%. I do not understand what the app is doing. Save for a few minutes this morning when we used the air fryer, we've barely pulled from the grid. Currently app shows 4.6 kWh for today. That's definitely not...

With only a single Powerwall+ and a 8.16kw system, I am very seldom sending power back to the grid, and if I can stabilize my log-capturing script, I want to send myself/household a reminder if we're approaching 100% capacity and we're still generating that somebody should start running the...

Weird. Even without PTO, I'm able to send power back to the grid (PG&E), even though I'm not supposed to. So I've been trying to keep a close eye and fire up the A/C, washer or dryer, whatever when we have excess. Ahh, the joys of WFH. :p

Hi - so I finally got my Powerwall+ inverter issue (low coolant) resolved back on July 26. So then, I've been obsessively looking at the app (yes, I upgraded), the gateway interface, and API data from the gateway. One thing that has been bugging me, but I chalked it up to not having PTO yet...

People are probably discussing this elsewhere, but in the release notes for v4.0.0 of the app is this: So... that's new.

Speaking of API documentation, I just added a note in the issues, because a few weeks I found what might be a useful new endpoint: https://teg/api/devices/vitals It returns a binary file, but somebody has figured out how to decode it (I just wish they'd share a script. :) Anywho in 21.31.0, I...

Huh. So your screenshot shows 21.24.2, which I've had since... Aug 17. But yeah, I see your Powerwall graphic is shortened like @eml2 's screenshot. But I have a screenshot from July 3, a few days after I got firmware 21.20.3 , and it's also got a "short" Powerwall: So I don't think that...

And for those that are lazy and just like using curl, I've been using (and contributing to) this documentation effort: GitHub - vloschiavo/powerwall2: Tesla Powerwall 2 - Local Gateway API documentation

Ah, I forgot to post here that I also got the firmware upgrade on Monday night around 10:45PM PDT, as reported by api/system/update/status: { "state":"/download", "info":{ "expected_bytes":[ "220782656" ], "got_bytes":[ "88313088" ], "offset_bytes":[ "0" ]...

Ok, on Saturday night around 11PM, I decided to try a full Stop System (via the Web UI) *AND* flip the breaker off *AND* turn off the switch on the Power Wall. I was even prepared to pull the e-stop jumper out of my inverter, but didn't have a proper tool, and to be honest was a little scared of...

To clarify - I do not have a physical stop button. If you're talking about the STOP SYSTEM button in the web UI (pictured below), then yes, clicking that during the evening didn't do me any good the next day. I still got a self-test in the middle of the day:

Hey yeah, I looked at the Powerwall 2 manual as well as this: https://tesla-cdn.thron.com/static/UZVPRN_solar-inverter-solar-shutdown-device-datasheet-en-na_6T7HSR.pdf My reading on the Solar Shutdown Device is that it's part of an automated system that triggers on "Loss of AC power". So it's...

Huh. I would very much like to find the manual for my inverter before doing this.

I used the web page's Stop System last night around 11PM. Today's self test was around 12:25PM. Yesterday's was around 12:15PM.

So I finally found something of interest: api/vitals data shows this change from 12:25PM PDT to 12:30PM PDT: PVAC_State: PVAC_Active ... PVAC_InvState: INV_Grid_Connected PVAC_PvState_A: PV_Active PVAC_PvState_B: PV_Active PVAC_PvState_C: PV_Active PVAC_PvState_D: RPV_Active_Parallel ...

Huh. My I just noticed my start_time is very close to yours. I guess we were part of the same rollout group: "start_time":"2021-08-04 02:42:10 +0800"

Oh wow! I never looked at api/system_status ! So yes, I see this: "last_toggle_timestamp": "2021-08-10T12:29:08.318181587-07:00", That matches up with my outage this afternoon. But it's around the same time when I logged into the system in Installer mode to try and see if there were any...

Yeah that used to happen every time I got the infamous "Inverter Over Temperature" error due to low coolant. I'm pretty sure it's just part of the regular "restart" cycle. Speaking of coolant: Yeah, the service tech who came out had to pull the entire inverter off of the wall to top off the...

Huh. I wonder why I didn't get a big red button. Maybe PG&E or the City of San Jose don't require it? That being said - how the heck am I supposed to restart? Still having issues. I put myself into Installer mode *just before* the event was over (I happened to be out grabbing lunch), and...

Hey everyone. Sorry for the detour into API geekery. Not that it did me any good. My logs don't show anything useful during my outages, which yes, are still happening. I'm still on 21.24.1, which I believe I received on 2021-08-03. My uptime is now 133h, so perhaps I'll try a Reset tonight. (I...

Thank you @power.saver! I'm good at poking around things with Chrome and curl, but not so much with binary data. I've posted your findings to Vince's repo where he's been documenting the API: Found a new endpoint, but it returns a binary file · Issue #51 · vloschiavo/powerwall2 (I also realized...

Oh hey, I found a new api endpoint, but it gives me a binary file: https://teg/api/devices/vitals I'm interested in these bits that showed up with the strings command: THC_State* THC_STATE_AUTONOMOUSCONTROL THC_AmbientTemp! I used this curl command, after authenticating and storing a token in...

Welp. I had another blip, from around 11:26-11:40AM. Unfortunately even my updated scripts didn't log any Alerts. Only clues that there was an outage were these: api/sitemaster - "can_reboot" flipped to "Yes", since there wasn't much power flowing... 2021-08-05T11:25:01-07:00...

Oh hey, @sk00 and @bryan995 - I was wondering, what inverter do you have? Is it the new Tesla one? And is it horizontally, or vertically mounted? This is mine:

Hey y'all. Please let me know if a new thread is appropriate. I love what you've done with Google Sheets, but to try and diagnose my annoying Daily reset/shutdown of my Powerwall+ and/or Inverter after coolant top-off? problem, I just wanted to pull some status data from my Gateway directly to...

Enh. It's ugly. I don't care. :-} LOGFILE="/home/pi/workplace/teslog/all.log" JAR="/home/pi/workplace/teslog/cookies.txt" date -Iseconds >> $LOGFILE curl -c $JAR -b $JAR -s -k -X POST "https://192.168.2.51/api/login/Basic" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d...

DRAT! My system just had a restart, and my logging script shows nothing at 11:40AM PDT. :p I guess I will have to figure out how to login and grab api/sitemaster too.

So I've been relying on this, but it's a bit out of date: GitHub - vloschiavo/powerwall2: Tesla Powerwall 2 - Local Gateway API documentation I think everything requires auth now except /api/status Previously I was using Nginx on the pi to proxy the TEG network endpoint to my local network...

Flipping the breakers did not cause my system to reboot. I was going to try the Reset button, but saw that I had already restarted at around 9:40PM PDT, and I was on v21.20.6 (not sure when I had gotten that update). But I've just logged on as Installer to see if there's any Alerts, and looking...

Weird. I just logged in as an Installer and then went to reset my gateway and I saw it had restarted 20 minutes ago, based on api/status. So I'm gonna leave it and see how things go in the morning...

Oh duh. Maybe the RESET button inside my Backup Gateway is the way to go. Will try tonight.

Bah. Flipping the breaker didn't shut the system down since (ha) I have a backup battery. https://192.168.2.51/api/status is still reporting: If that start_time is correct, then it last restarted Tuesday at 8:17AM PDT. Which... is 2 hours before the technician from Tesla came out to pull my...

Also @Tim-in-CA when you say similar problem, do you mean just the daily drop-out? Because that's nothing compared to what my coolant problem was at install: The ambient temperature by 11AM that day (May 18, 2021) wasn't much more than 60ºF. Logging onto the system as a Customer (before they...

To log in as installer, change the drop-down to Installer instead of Customer, and put your email (or any email, AFAIK). The system will prompt you to toggle the power switch on your Powerwall to "log in". (Further evidence that that power switch is *NOT REALLY A POWER SWITCH AT ALL*.) Anyways...

Hey - so I got my coolant topped off on Tuesday, and it seemed to fix the constant inverter over temperature errors that were causing me problems since my install in mid-May. System got powered on again around 10-11AM, and has been running great. Except that around 10-11AM every day, as you...

Well, after months of calling and begging them to send somebody out, somebody FINALLY came today as scheduled yesterday. Armando from Tesla was here for about an hour, and I didn't want to get in his way, so I just caught a snap of his equipment: He ended up having to take the entire inverter...

Wow. A little over 1 month after inspection passing! I was gonna ask where you live, but found your old post: SE PA. So that's ... Southeast Pennsylvania? I just called Tesla, *again*. I'm in San Jose, CA, but somebody from the east coast took my call. She said that especially in California...

Heh, I'll try to get video of the tech doing it, and see what brand of antifreeze he pours in. ;-}

Update: New firmware "hides" errors, seems to smooth out spikes, but results in much less power generation. Supposedly there's only ONE TECH in the Bay Area (or possibly Northern California!?) that can top off coolant in inverters, and he does not have a vehicle. Oy...

So I'm still on 21.20.3 on what I assume is a v2 Gateway because it came with a Powerwall+ and all the installers had never seen an inverter like this before. ANYWAYS I figured out how to see Alerts and additional stats (string output) by logging in as an Installer, but it bugs me that I have...

I'd call it in now. At the rate I'm going (I called it in the day after my install 5/17/2021), I'm wondering if it'll ever get fixed. Here's the latest news after somebody on the "maintenance scheduling line" spent 30 minutes calling around and trying to find out the answer: I live in San...

Huh. I think I got upgraded to 21.20.3 yesterday (Fri 7/1/2021). Weird thing is I had turned my system OFF (through the big red "STOP SYSTEM") button in the Gateway UI (192.168.91.1) on Monday (6/28/2021). Although I got inspection approved 6/2/2021, I'm still waiting on PTO. But prior to...

tl;dr - Has anybody else gotten new firmware in the past 24 hours? My system was shutdown (by software only), but looks like Tesla remotely powered it up and upgraded me to 21.20.3 So as I've mentioned in previous posts, on 5/17/2021 I got an 8.16kW system installed with one of the new...

Oops, yes, sorry, I forgot to note that. Here's what the full install looks like:

Hey, two questions @houser2021 : 1. Did you get your inverter replaced before or after PTO? 2. Is your inverter one of the horizontally-oriented Tesla units, or vertically-oriented? I've been having problems since my install on 5/17/2021, but am still waiting on PTO (passed inspection...

Hi @Powderkeg and @T..C - you both mentioned that you filed tickets. Have both of you already gotten PTO? Did you file a ticket through the website or app? I'm still waiting on PTO (inspection passed 6/2/2021), but have had inverter issues (Inverter over temperature errors) since day 1 (install...
