Not very smart

I have been using this app now for a couple of months. The app does not automatically charge my battery when the solar feed in is low and the rates are low. I have to do this manually and I have to remember to do it at 10 am each morning. I cannot program it on a schedule. I have to set a manual alarm outside of the APP to do it.

It is supposed to be smart. It is supposed to monitor the weather. It is supposed to charge my battery when rates are cheap and export from my battery when rates are high and it does none of these things. Also, the monthly fees for Amber are up around $50. So it negates a lot of the saving that you make.

Good in theory, but poor algorithm for battery

I found that the app needed substantial improvements to optimise my 11 kw solar and 48 kw battery setup. It overestimated solar production (always), poorly estimated my household demand, leading to poor decisions. It would run out of battery at night, when it could have topped up with extremely cheap power in the daytime. If the algorithm could be improved, I’d possibly switch back to Amber.

Non functional no service

App doesn’t work properly. Cant connect to internet despite everything else in system connecting and working just fine. No customer support. Says 10 days grace period but cannot opt out even after only 5 days of dysfunction. Poor at best.

Stay away from this provider

This is a dodgy company that charges you twice as much for the connection, and all those strategies that they advertised are a bunch of bu… sh….
They never replied to your calls and no communication at all with a customer
Another dodgy company pretending to help their Australian customers

Since downloading the stats seem wrong
