I signed up for Optiwatt. But when trying to connect to my Tesla account, I notice they require permissions to a lot of information like profile, location, etc etc. To me it is bit of a privacy issue. Does anyone else use optiwatt and still use it without any privacy concerns?
I would like to get the community's thoughts. Please see attachment for the full list of access requests asked for by Optiwatt. If I choose only some then Optiwatt, gives me some error. Also tesla app gave me a notification to give optiwatt access to a "virtual key". I am not sure i understand all the things I am giving up.
But I like the concept of optiwatt, especially since my utility SMUD is running a pilot project for managed EV charging. I guess this helps SMUD with load balancing since they can trigger charging of cars at different times and help maintain a steady load on the electrical network.
