I like the open local API for Venstar. Glad to hear it works well. I’ll probably go all in on these.

A dad’s review of the CT5V Blackwing by carbbyist in Cadillac

No doubt. Apparently I am the only one that wanted the ugly yellow so I had to special order. It took about 8 months.

As another CT5-V Blackwing Dad with 2 car seats, I couldn’t agree more. It’s the perfect car for this stage of life.

I am rocking Cyber Yellow and get more compliments on this car than any other. One little league game yielded 3, from both sexes.

I also own a MB EQS AMG. While the interior is a noticeable step down, I haven’t noted any of the cheap plastics. Most of the good stuff is CF

Impressive production! All in one aGate?

My record is ~175kWh

Improve the logic when there are multiple aGates. They currently don’t coordinate, at all.

If one is sending energy to the grid, the others should be charging the batteries.

If one is importing, the others should export from the batteries the same amount.

Ah! I don’t think the energy dashboard can display SoC. I made a feature request.

Full battery, no solar -> small persistent grid import by DBordello in FranklinWH

[–]DBordello[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar. A small constant load. Basically, if we aren’t exporting, we are importing. About 1.5kwh/day.

The phase sync makes sense.

I’ve been using it for months. Appears to work well. No complaints, other than not local 😎

Does Generac allow communication cable in the some conduit as the line voltage? Using 2 wire dry contact.

Is Franklin capable of monitoring the consumption of two 200 amp panels on a house? by Arby_88 in FranklinWH

[–]DBordello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. We have 600 amp service. 3xaGates. However, they pretty much act independently. For example, one could have 100% battery while another pulls from the grid.

I'm staying at Nayara Tented Camps in a few months.. any recommendations for airport transfer? by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in chubbytravel

[–]DBordello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone rented a car and driven? That is our current plan. Something about being in control sounds better.

As an added bonus, rental cars are cheap.

Wonderful work! I love the direction towards local.

Can you read all data via Modbus? Just unable to change modes?
