  • Spot on, thanks @EVandPV.

    How does the Lux do its monitoring?  Does it have its own CT clamps on the PV / the rest of the system in order to read what everything else is doing?

    One CT on the grid and one on the PV. It's linked directly to the batteries by an RS485 data cable.
    There's a ton of data available on the web portal which can be downloaded into excel files.

    Cheers.
    To be fair, I think it's our router. It's been playing up with various sites lately throwing up daft security messages for sites I know are safe.

    You're not with Sky Broadband by any chance are you? I've been struggling with both the web portal and the app for a couple of days but it seems better if I use 4G instead of my WiFi.

    Yeah Sky here too. I heard Sky have outages down south, ours hasn't been down but maybe there's other issues affecting access to some sites ??
    Can't get on the portal or app with Sky 4G either, unless the same issues are affecting their mobile network too ??

  • Can you change your dns settings in your router. Try setting manual to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    Unfortunately the router Sky supplies doesn't let you set your own DNS so you have to do it on a device by device basis which is a pain...  It does seem like it's trying to load, just very slowly, so I'm thinking it's a routing problem rather than DNS but I could be wrong.
