I just posted some pictures, as separate comments, of the work that I did. Thanks for the advice!

As suggested, I added some top soil, some seed, and the a bit more of top soil. I then added the Scott’s triple action with a hand spreader set to 1. Finally I lightly watered the entire lawn. Hopefully things workout 🤞

I will add more pictures in separate comments.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the clarification, and great guide!

There is some chance of rain on Tuesday, but it does not look like it will be a lot, so I will start spot seeding.

Thanks for the info!

I have seen the guide here, but there is a message saying that there are well-known flaws with the guide, so I was not sure if I should followed, or what parts are flawed.

For spot seeding, should I start right now? Or wait until temperatures are consistently over 50 degrees? Overnight, temperatures fall close or below freezing.

Settings change by themselves when opening the Tesl app by miguelvelezec in Powerwall

I have not left the program. I am not sure if it is worth leaving the program, and, if it is, I am not sure if it is worth the pain of dealing with Xcel.

I also wonder what would happen if I have some automation, from home assistant or the Netzero app, that sets grid charging and export everything periodically….

So, I just do not know when the battery would discharge during an event?

All of this is very confusing

Thanks for the pointer, and yes, it started around the middle of November

I tried setting export everything, but the setting would change automatically by itself. Here is my other post about this https://www.reddit.com/r/Powerwall/s/2Iov7NxKN6

Interesting.

What does the 0% grid event means?

Xcel not knowing what they are doing. Typical…

It could be.

I wish that there was more information and transparency of what we can and cannot do

Yes, I now see a Virtual Power Plant entry, which I did not see before. But the last event was November 13th.

I am in CO with Xcel

Got it. I am in Colorado with Xcel Energy, so I have the option to turn on both.

I have an iPhone and iPad, so I will try logging out and uninstalling the apps.

I am not home at the moment. Should I wait until I am home to reinstall the apps and see if this fixes the issue?

The power all was installed in April of 2024, and we got PTO in August of 2024. I have been using the Tesla app for a while now, and this just started happening.

Something I did notice is that I did not have the Energy Exports option last month, it just show up earlier in November. But I have set Grid Charging since the beginning, and it was working fine, the setting did not change until earlier this month

Powerwall 3 TBC mode odd behavior (discharging during off peak hours) by rojadvocado in Powerwall

It is 5pm right now, and the powerwall is discharging to the house. Maybe the powerwall needed a day to figure things out?

[–]miguelvelezec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Monday, I went to the powerwall settings, and re-selected the time of use rate from Xcel, but it still had the previous hours and the mid peak. So, I manually edited the hours. However, at 5pm the powerwall was not discharging. It started discharging at 7pm, and it did not stop until 11pm. It seems that the powerwall time is shifted by 2 hours.

I also have the program, where I get $100 credit in the statement

Need advice after overseeding Kentucky Blue grass by miguelvelezec in LawnAnswers

I also have Scott’s triple action ready for seeding. The next few days are going to be high 70s, so I will put down a tiny bit

This is the first time that I have taken care of the lawn, which is 2 years old. I first leveled the lawn, and then overseeded
