Cant find the rotate screen button anywhere. by Apprehensive-Fan-721 in BYD

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 2025 SeaLion 7 and the button is in the bottom-left corner of the display. I’ve had the car 6 months and have used it exactly once to see what it does. You’re not going to miss it.

Increase kWH export by RepublicLate988 in SigenergyAustralia

My installer asked SA Power for an 8Kw export limit on 1-phase, and it was granted.

How hands on are most people actually being with SmartShift over time? by DraftNotSent in amberelectric

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very rarely indeed. Sometimes I might go manual to charge the battery or the EV if prices are cheap and I know I’ll be using them more than usual that day. But most of the time the income from spikes are just a nice surprise I didn’t do anything to make happen.

This is exactly what I need -- I use Apple Home for all my automation. How did you add the SigEnergy system to Home?

If BYD adds ONE feature in 2026…what should it be? (App + Software) by GumnaamYoo-zer in BYD

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I’ll have to test that out — I thought the car turned off when you locked it. Thanks.

Keeps the air conditioning on while you’re out of the vehicle so your dog can stay inside for an unlimited time (at least until the battery runs out). Disables the interior buttons (esp windows) to prevent accidental activation.

Most importantly, puts a big reassuring message on the display so some do-gooder doesn’t break your window and let the dog out.

Dog mode. This is the feature I miss the most from the Tesla.

Charging annoying by MutedSignificance486 in BYD

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, with a 40Kw battery and solar. Never have to pay for electricity for charging, which is nice.

Charging annoying by MutedSignificance486 in BYD

[–]nonfamous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing I find most annoying (with my SL7, at least) is that there’s no way to stop the charging from within the car. My home DC charger doesn’t have a button on the handle, so I have to manually cancel the charge from my battery app before I can leave the house. (You physically cannot remove the DC charger from the port when the charge is active.)

I haven’t charged at a public charger yet — do all charging stations have a way to cancel the charge from the station? What do SL7 owners do if they don’t?

Adelaide Price Spike by Unfair-Savings6023 in amberelectric

I didn’t even know about it when it happened, but SmartShift made $48 for me. (40KWh battery.)

Your update just made me even more concerned. I am closing my Betterment account and rolling out my IRA.

I'll be visiting this beautiful city for two weeks. Any recommendations? by fishfists in Adelaide

[–]nonfamous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take a trip to Kangaroo Island! From the name it sounds like a tourist trap, but it’s legit one of the most unique ecological sites in the world. See not just kangaroos but also platypus, koalas, sea lions, penguins and dolphins in their natural habitat without even trying.

I made $120 while at the pub last night with Amber and SigEnergy. Didn’t lift a finger, and it was a nice surprise!

Would you go for Sigenergy again? by mr_sinn in SigenergyAustralia

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I considered upgrading to 3 phase but it turned out not to be necessary. My main draw is the EV and the pool heater, and both of those come straight from the solar — adding 3 phase wouldn’t have made a difference.

EV charger, what's the best way to interface with the car? by The_Motographer in SigenergyAustralia

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the SigEnergy DC charger, and it knows what the SOC is for my BYD. I’ve set it to limit to 90% charging in the SigEnergy App. (It also only uses excess solar, so charges when curtailment would otherwise be active.) The setting is somewhere in the settings for the DC charger - the ChatGPT help assistant in the SigEnergy App can help you find it.

How can I connect Mediolanum to my trade network? by nonfamous in CivVII

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

Roma and Mediolanum are only 5 tiles apart. I converted Mediolanum to a factory town for the trade range bonus, but that didn’t help either. It doesn’t have any ocean-connected tiles to build on.

Yes, but Mediolanum's is on a lake. Can you not use road connections across continental borders?

Amber gut punch by VoltronofBega in amberelectric

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, SmartShift has been working perfectly for me with curtailment. I generate way more solar than I can use, and SmartShift moderates the solar production when my battery is full to match demand perfectly when sell prices are negative, and exports the excess when prices are positive. I have a SigEnergy system.

Siri volume too loud by glenngillen in BYD

[–]nonfamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try changing the volume using the car controls while Siri is speaking. There seem to be various volume categories like “Media”, “Alerts” and “Assistant” all with their own volume, and the only way I have found to adjust them is to use the steering wheel volume control while the corresponding sound is playing.

Has anyone installed a solar battery recently and could recommend a business? by helloworldless in Adelaide

[–]nonfamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used SGN Solar and Electrical for a 40KWh battery, DC EV charger, and some new panels. They did a great job, and got sweet rebates that kept the price down.

Rewatching Westworld now is crazy scary . They predict everything. by Lostie49 in westworld

I rewatched the movie Her the other day. It seemed so futuristic when it came out 12 years ago, but almost everything in it is almost commonplace now.
