    Have been quoted £500 for installation of an eddi alongside our intended solar panel installation. Thinking about this, is there such a thing as an immersion switch which can be controlled by an app? e
    I use a Sonoff Wifi switch that I can control via App, only cost me about £12 and that allows me to turn immersion on and off and set scheduled times remotely
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    I love my EDDI. Fitted it myself and bought the harvi with two CT's, one to monitor the grid and the other to monitor my battery storage. I find it does a great job and intuitively shares excess solar with the hot water tank and the batteries. I have bought another with a relay to auto activate battery chargers for an additional lead acid array I have built.
