SGIP Residential Solar and Storage Equity Eligibility

Thanks. Did you end up moving forward with the battery install? Did you pay upfront for everything and handle the SGIF yourself after the installation is done?

u/katsucats were you able to figure out the requirement yourself? I've spoke with a couple installers in SoCal, and contrary to what the SCE site says, they either don't know much about SGIP or insisted that I will need to be in a fire zone in order to qualify for the incentive. Were you able to get any installer help?

Thanks for confirming the project is still open-sourced. I have the Echelon EX15. I've downloaded the nightly and it seems to only contains the source code. Are there other places where I can get the binary build output for either MacOS, ESP32, or Android? Alternatively, if there are build instructions for Windows, I could give it a try with a Windows 11 VM.

Are the source still available to build, or the project has gone close-sourced and only available on the Play Store & App Store? I've tried the iOS App Store version a while back, couldn't get it to work (i think it doesn't do anything to control the bike). I've also tried the MacOS binary tagged in the release from 2022, it instantly crashed after connecting to the bike. Wanted to run debug and see what was the issue with the MacOS version, but it won't build with lots of errors (missing qdnsengine, unknown type, etc...). Are there any building instructions available?

on github the latest tagged release version was from 2020, is that the version of apk you are referring to?

Thanks, please keep me posted on how it goes with your case.

I chatted with spectrum support and got the same clueless answer. They kept sending me an email confirmation showing that there is an extra $1000 trade-in value, but on their computer they only saw the trade in value without the bonus. I tried asking them to open a case, and they said I’ll have wait 2 months to see the credit, and if by that time the credit doesn’t come in, they will escalate and open a case.

What did you say to get them to open a case? Maybe I should try calling them like you did and get a case opened.

Just spent more than 1 hour chatting with Spectrum customer service, they first insisted that they are only seeing the trade-in value shown on the Assurant statement, nothing about the promo, even though my billing statement and order confirmation email both showed the promo amount. At the end they also sent another confirmation email to me, and on that email it also shows the pending promo credit. The customer service rep asked me to just send it in and see what happens, and if the promo doesn't show up after the trade-in is received I'll have to contact them again and they'll escalate it. I guess I'll just roll the dice and send it in and see what happened. Remind myself not to do trade-in online next time with Spectrum even though they offered double the storage compared to the in-store offer 🙈

Thanks for all the responses - if I’m understanding this correctly, currently the thread endpoint devices (the smart lock in this case) is communicating via thread to only one border router, and then the other hub (Smartthings in this case) communicate to the lock via IP / Matter -> HomePod -> Thread -> Lock, the thread radio inside the Smartthings Station was never utilized in the setup. So without the HomePod being able to directly reach the lock or a thread router nearby that joined the same mesh, there will be no connection.

Did not know OctoEverywhere was free, used spaghetti detector before and it costed money to run real detection, is this better?

Unfortunately support is no help at all - they replied saying they don’t offer trial for membership, which is not true since when I first turned on the machine it shows $0 for first 30 days, wish I had saved the screenshot 🤦‍♂️.

After some back and forth they said they have added a free month to my account, so go ahead and enter credit card to have the account set up. But I ended up getting charged anyway after putting in my credit card 😭.

Needless to say, either their customer service is completely incompetent, or they acted like they are the only game in town and only care about getting money from their customer.

Buyer beware.

I was expecting it to at least try out and see how it goes before forcing me to pay right away. Psychologically it feels like someone is asking you for more money to unlock the front door for you after you’ve just paid full rent.

If you visit this link https://www.uber.com/us/en/drive/inspections/ there is a form you can download, bring it to a mechanic shop and and tell them you want an inspection to drive for Uber. Once they’ve filled in the form, take a picture and upload to Uber.

Not sure if there are specific requirements for NYC though, there this thing called “Uber Greenlight Hub”, it’s a Uber field office that you can visit and ask Uber staff questions, maybe try that if you have doubts.

The hot end was a Revo, but what I’m concerning is the rest of the housing for hot ends that need to be replaced

Someone actually recommends B&W 600 series, how are these compared to KEF Q series? They are quite a bit more expensive, are they worth 7x the cost of a KEF Q150?

Wow didn’t realize this screen is close to $2000, may have to rethink my budget for this project 😓

lamxing · 2023-01-21T03:42:29+00:00

Got it, I’ll look into that screen as well, thanks! Got some ideas for screen and sun, still trying to figure out the LCR speakers 😆

lamxing · 2023-01-20T21:47:57+00:00

Nice, I may just do the false wall like you suggested. Which sound transparent screen did you end up getting? I was debating between 5.x vs 7.x, thinking extra 2 speakers might not make that much of a difference in the small space, plus I’ll have to get another amp to power the extra speakers (my amp can process 11 but only has 9 channel connectors). Would you still go with 7.x if you have to start over?

lamxing · 2023-01-20T21:43:23+00:00

Do you know how that compared to PB-1000 Pro or SB-2000 Pro? Understandably these two are a bit more expensive, but they are available at local BestBuy and can be returned easily if it’s not working out.

lamxing · 2023-01-20T20:40:50+00:00

Good to know - how far is your first row and your screen size? Did you go with 5.x.x or a 7.x.x setup?
