Pretty good, with a few tweaks needed

This app is heaps better than it used to be, and is miles above the Powow one my solar installer uses. I can control my battery pretty well. Two suggested improvements:
1. On the graphs, the colour for solar is almost identical to the colour for import from grid - both shades of yellow - what’s with that?! Import should be grey.
2. It would be good to have more granular control over the battery discharge times. I would like to set both the time AND the level to discharge to overnight, so I can let it use some but not all of my battery overnight, and save some battery for the peak morning times.

Limited control! Needs to be sorted

I am bitterly disappointed in the way my batteries and this app work. I purchased these and the app should be fully functional for my personal use if I choose. Instead there is limited functionality and problems with it controlling my energy usage from the grid or my batteries. I personally believe the government needs to put in place regulations that protect the owners of these batteries!
It’s not a great solution to our power issues!
I would not purchase again!

Latest update more confusing

The latest update has made it harder to understand what it discharging at what time and when to charge.

The self consumption just does “magic” but still discharges everything to the grid…

Needs glossary

Desperately needs an info Page/how to read data page. Not all abbreviations are universal so need translation.

Can’t get it repaired

The installer won’t fix or reset it or call me back SOLARMAXX is a terrible company and the app is no use to me if the batteries don’t work.no contact info for the app either so I can reset the thing none.
