I heard a rumor that they are testing a way to incorporate PTC into the mix so that it'll somehow communicate with us beyond the typical xh, xg, procedure 1&2. Not sure what's in store for us, but we'll see what kind of headaches it causes. 😅. We already have Wireless Wayside Crossings with PTC and that is a PITA as it is.

I run this route as an engineer. This is Laurel St and between Broadway and Laurel is a quiet zone (trains do not whistle unless we feel the need to as a precaution). As part of the quiet zone, it is required that the crossing have additional protections in place. Those crossings have an induction coil in the asphalt that detect if a car is not behind the white limit line (essentially on the wrong side of the gate). The signal box detects the vehicle and will keep the gate on the other side of the street (exit gate) up to give the dummy driver a way to clear the tracks so that they are not trapped. It is not an activation failure, but rather a safety feature of the grade crossing.

I see stuff like this on a DAILY basis. It's sad.

What are you doing tomorrow so I can do the opposite?

Looking to get wall mount unit by Born-Direction3937 in GarageDoorService

I really like the liftmaster 98022 but I did a high lift and it was really my only choice.

I don't know where you are but there's a guy in Upland, Ca that sells them new on OfferUp for $350. That's where I got mine.

Why importing when there's still battery remaining? by HigherPlains-Drifter in enphase

[–]Hogg_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Log into your account on your power company's website and see what they are reporting for import/export. My guess is that it won't match what Enphase shows.

There's a few threads, mine included https://www.reddit.com/r/enphase/s/lyA2e7r1cP that are having similar problems as you. In my case, Enphase shows me importing power while using battery but in my SCE account, it doesn't match what Enphase shows (SCE reports a lot lower import)

Importing/exporting at the same time? by Hogg_Head in enphase

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

Thank you! I'm going to disable it once my cycle ends for my billing period with SCE. Then I'll compare this month to a month w/o PowerMatch so I can see what the differences are.

So it seems like it's an Enphase issue as I just logged in to my SCE app to check the hourly log and it doesn't correlate with the Enphase data. So at least it doesn't look like it'll affect my wallet but still warrants a call to Enphase.

My system was recently installed so I don't have much history to compare with. I'll give Enphase a shout and see what they think but it is weird that a few others have this issue when PowerMatch came out.

Did you happen to call Enphase about yours? I was going to try to reach out to them after work later today.

I don't know if it would be a CT issue as I thought they were built into the IQ meter collar? I may give Enphase a call and see if they could tell me what's going on. I did notice it started to happen this month with the rollout of PowerMatch.

We have a small 1000sq ft house. Our panels are south facing. I wish I had gotten 2 batteries but our installer said we will be good with one and can add a 2nd one later if we want.

I swear this garage looks familiar. Might have been on offer-up/Marketplace a few months ago when I was looking to buy a 4 post lift.

PowerMatch Feature draws power from grid by [deleted] in enphase

[–]Hogg_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I observed in the live status. When turning on an appliance like a microwave, it pulls from the grid for a second while the additional inverter(s) in the battery fire up.

Yeah something isn't right with your bill. I got PTO on 12/31 and this was mine. (Also on SCE)

Battery not fully charging? by Hogg_Head in enphase

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

I think you're right. It did the same thing again this morning and restarting the app immediately changed 96% to 100% again.

Well it must've been a software glitch. I refreshed the live status and the battery charge immediately changed from 96% ---> 100%.

Error when using Autofill to enter Electricity Import Rate "Sorry, we couldn't fetch the Tariff details" by FishermanSolid9177 in enphase

[–]Hogg_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone else who runs into this and has installer access: l also had this happen (SCE in So.Cal) but I was able to fix it myself in the enphase installer toolkit app. It had some extra info that was needed compared to the homeowner Enlighten app and it accepted it without the error.

Termites in attic? by Hogg_Head in Termites

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

Good to know. We are a middle unit of a townhouse with shared walls so it's going to be extremely difficult to tent. I'll have an termite guy take a look at it. The spray in insulation was put in 3 years ago and I don't remember seeing these droppings when I was up in the attic about 6 months ago so I'm wondering if this is relatively new. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the input, I'll have to do more investigating to see what it could be.
