I “gave” my 4th battery to my son so we have 3 each.... he gets much more use out of it than I would but i could use it in the winter 😀😀😀

Yeah we could probably do with another 2.4kwh in the winter too but it would probably push the ROI even further away.

If the Mrs doesn't have the leccy heater on in the spare room when she's working, ours can look something like this .....
(Car charged overnight too)

That is very impressive considering your batter storage capability

I should also say it's just me and the Mrs at home (son is away at uni) so we're fairly low on consumption apart from the EV and we mustn't have used the shower or oven that day. 
We average about 7-8kwh a day in the winter.

I think you need to get the Mrs working between 00:30 and 4:30...

Thing is, she's retiring in a couple of years so we'll probably need another half dozen pylons.

Hi is there a manual for the LUX gateway software that lists what the abbreviations are when looking at the "data, charts" and "data energy"

Some a very obvious... others not so ?

The only manual I'm aware of just talks about the settings under the configuration tab.

Just contacted LUX China asking the questions below... with hindsight I should have asked  about the "Solar yielding" Widget which displays nonsense on anything other than the main screen for us who do not have a hybrid inverter.

"One of the very useful displays is the "Energy overview" a copy of which I have added below.

Would it be possible to add "Import from Grid" data, I believe this would then make it a more complete display of the total situation?  The data is displayed on the page so should be easy for you to incorporate it into this display table?

One other question is there a data source anywhere that will explain what all the abbreviations are on the "DATA" tag

some are obvious but some not e.g. QAC(VAR)... no idea what that indicates along with many of the other labels."

Hi Mick,

Please check "Data" page. There is no spare to display more data at "Energy overview " chart, it will be crowed. 

"Energy to user" means the energy from the grid

Looks like that will be a no then LOL...

cannot fault the response time.. two replies within 15 mins

I see there's a new player in the battery market, Moixa.
Similar smart functionality to the Powerwall and reasonably priced.
