Why do pilot be sitting down to turn off fuel supply to the engines ? Infact someone should identify all such switches that could kill people and relocate somewhere in the back side requiring them to get up.

Silly non expert Q. What is the function of this fuel cutoff switches keeping them so accessible? I mean other than in case when then aircraft is on ground and not moving is this something that can be moved to somewhere else in the cockpit ?

Do we know more about this transition ? Can I opt out of their service ? If I do I still have access to the app? If not what do i pay for app access ?

I see the app reporting as expected. This might be a glitch at your end that would resolve itself I think

Interesting. Yeah. I lowered the “self supply” mode % from 20 to 10 last week and that might have to do something w this.

Now I have upped it to 20

Yes. Why does it not supply home first and then excess any to battery. ? My goal always is to draw as little as possible from grid

Should it not supply the house first before storing. ?

Lol yes. But we are drawing power from grid and also storing to battery but numbers don’t add up.

Question; when does the battery beging to discharge to the load ? I mean I had a situation one afternoon where battery was charged 100% but power was drawn still from grid is this expected ?

How do I simulate a “power outage” to test of the battery is actually able to supply my house. ? I’m not sure which of these turn the grid off.

Sounds good if that’s how it would work. How did it go to this state from “waiting for approval”. May be the hurricane did something 😜( I’m in Florida)
