Hi,
I'm a brand new Powewall owner (my first Tesla product). I got 2 Powerwalls installed a couple of months ago with everything ready but the city/utility company inspections. The last inspection was completed Monday and the system was turned on later that day. While power outages are actually quite rare where I live, I had my first power outage last night due to a storm. The Powerwalls worked as expected. (I got to see them switch over in the app. I got an alert that something called "Storm Watch" was active. I opened the app to look at it then my lights flickered a moment and the display switched to show I was drawing from battery power.) My UPS units, however, weren't all happy. One was fine but another wasn't. I'm not sure if that one failed because of the Powerwalls or unrelated. It's alarm went off but I didn't get to troubleshoot much before the power came back on.
Questions:
Thanks!

Questions:
- Is there a list somewhere of "known compatible" UPS units that I could consult before I buy a UPS? I had been looking at one of these: APC Back-UPS Pro 1500S, 1500VA, 120V, Sinewave, AVR, LCD, 2 USB charging ports, 10 NEMA outlets (4
- I'm aware of a huge thread about Powerwall and UPS units that keeps talking about 63hz, 65hz, etc. I don't see anywhere in my app where I can check this setting for my installation. Where can I check this?
- Related to #2, I downloaded the Tesla app for my phone and it gives me reporting around power usage and consumption, but basically no control over the batteries. I can set a percentage of self powered and turn on or off "Storm Watch" but that's about it. Is there another app I'm missing that will give me more information/control? (like the associated 63hz/65hz settings mentioned above).
Thanks!
