App broken

Login doesn't work anymore. No errors, just does nothing when clicking the button.

Now charging you for access to your data

I loved the Curb box in my electrical panel. I learned a lot about our power consumption by reviewing the detailed time series charts. Then they removed those charts from the app. So now I just go to the full website to see them. The app is fairly useless without the charts.

But now, as of Nov 2024, they are going to stop providing access to that data unless you subscribe to their service for a minimum of $4.99/month. This is not payment for or within the app. There will be no way to access your own data kin any way without paying Curb. Not in the app, not on the website, not through the API.

But keep in mind that you own the Curb box in your electrical panel. You bought it, even if it was included in your solar system installation. I have a warranty that describes me as the “end user purchaser.”

So even though I own the physical device, I can’t access my own data about my own electricity use without paying them monthly.

Slow and buggy, switching to paid subscription. Stay away

They installed my system incorrectly so Enphase monitoring does not work properly. They refuse to fix it and are charging a monthly subscription now to use Curb. I think Elevation Solar is going bankrupt and this is a cash grab. I regret installing a Curb device with my solar system.

Garage App

I don't get this app. As the other reviewer said, the Housetrack app is what this app used to be. Why change it? Why have multiple apps? I literally can't do anything in this app accept log in and scroll between 4 pages of stuff that make absolutely no sense. Nothing can be clicked on. Had Housetrack not been mentioned, I would've been scratching my head at the curb app wondering what the point is. My solar company installed the curb unit, so I expect to use the curb app along with it, but it's unusable.

Try their other apps.

If you want the old setup, try using WattWise or HouseTrack. They are all from the same developer. Anyway, I've been using HouseTrack for a few days, and it’s the old Curb app with the same privacy policy. I would love to get more acute usage stats, but all of my monitors are clustered into one zone. Curb says they can’t program zones, the electrical contractor is responsible. Still trying to figure how that works. Why can the contractor label and designate zones, but the client cannot. And what magic software do they use that’s not available to the homeowner?

No graph charts anymore.

The new version of this app forces bar graphs which are not as useful as the historical line graphs. You don’t get to see when something ran anymore. All you can tell is that something ran on a day or week or months you don’t get to see when it happens. That data is extremely helpful and to have it taken away is highly disappointing.

Amazing

I ❤️Curb Energy Monitoring

Bring Back the Previous Version

The “updated” app is lacking so many features the previous version had. Delete it and bring back the old version. Whatever this “elevation” takeover was has ruined the mobile experience. I have to rely on the website now.

Useless

The new app doesn’t tell you anything. No charts or trends/usage over time. They’ve simplified all the usefulness out of the old app and created a worthless app. I would gladly take the old app over this.

Bring back the old interface

Your customers bought the curb to get more information, not less. The new interface is just useless.

New version of app only shows instantaneous usage

The previous version showed historical telemetry curves, so you could see how solar, battery, and grid usage changed over a day (think while you are not able to stare at the app screen). This new version from a few months ago removed all that. If you didn’t update the app it’s all still there and of great use, but this new version is disappointing to say the least. I think I’d go with Emporia if I could choose again.

Driving customers away 101

This app is hot garbage. I’ve tried using it since the update. The previous version was not pretty but at least I could tell how much I was consuming/producing. All I want is to be able to see the same info as on the website.

Simplified and fairly useless

I used the old app to understand both real-time and combined power loads over different timeframes. This new “simplified” app doesn’t do this. Basically people willing to invest in this kind of infrastructure do so because they want detailed understanding. This app is simplified enough to no longer be useful to me. As a long term customer, I’m disappointed.

This App is garbage

The app freezes constantly. I believe the displays mixed up the solar production, grid and household consumption. So the values reported make no sense.
On iPad this app is even worse. It does not change with iPad orientation, the fonts are all messed up. Displays are on top of each other.
The older version of this app was barely usable. This update made it totally useless.

App freezes when opened

App shows opening screen, but unresponsive to all inputs.

The app is not working

When I open the app just turn white and nothing alls happen

Why do you hate your customers?

Curb had a mobile app, it wasn’t the greatest but it worked. Now it’s been replaced by…
Is there a way to use the old app if it works better for us?

The new app is horrible

The new app doesn’t even open on my phone. My partner can use it on his phone but it’s horrible and we can’t look at historical data.

Downgrade

This must be the worst app upgrade ever. All functionality and reporting gone. Completely useless now.

Seems to be totally broken

We use CURB for commercial energy monitoring and have 30+ hubs. This app doesn’t work at all with our site and and has completely removed any mobile functionality for us. Please contact me directly and I’m happy to share the issues . mike AT austonia DOT us
