Sehr zufrieden

Bin nun seit knapp 10 Tagen mir Solar und Speicher in meinem Haus versorgt. Die APP finde ich leicht verständlich und hat eine sehr gute Darstellung der vorhandenen Funktionen. Für einen Leihen kommt man sehr schnell in die APP rein und weiß was so geht.

Terrible

Insists on taking power from the grid once Soc reaches level, if it’s within the time window for export. This means that I sell power to the grid during peak time, but then when I reach 40%, I end up buying it back again for even more money. That’s terrible.

Not optimised for large iPads

The recent updates have been great, especially the design and layout. Much simpler and nicer to look at. However the app doesn’t fill the screen of my iPad Pro when it’s in landscape mode. It looks very small and doesn’t feel optimised.

Not optimised

Update 09/26 says it’s optimised for tablets, but it’s still not. Will only display portrait mode.
