Looks like Agile integration is here now .....

I don't get it... it says lux power pod. Is that them just grouping together batts + the standard inverter with a firmware upgrade to manage agile fluctuations?
Or is there added hardware expected?

I'm guessing it's just a firmware update. Looks like the same hardware and they're just selling it under a new name ??
I'll try emailing Lux to see if a firmware update is available.

how many companies  and names does that guy go by in the video.
I dont get the cheap agile tarrif if your using a lux and battery system unless your consuming a lot of power, im not using hardly any grid power at all so dont see the benifits of agile

Yeah add home energy group to the already know ones:-
Homeswitch 
Think renewables 
Pv pro
Infinity 
And the initial one i believe, gigabiz


Agile will be good for me using 20kwh + a day in winter when solar is poor, the lux should pretty much cover me

Just pinged Jake to see if he can push out the update... 
Curious to see what they've implemented in comparison to what you can do with octolux. Not expecting much!

EVandPV

Likewise. 
Awaiting a reply .....

I have - he's provided an extensive reply around how this is not a public feature yet and more associated with their new pod service... I've asked for his OK to post his comment on this board.

Good morning is anyone on here able to supply an out of the box solution for Octolux i.e. configured hardware installed software with instructions?  Alternatively  anyone willing to guide me through purchase of hardware and installation / config ?
