    Yes.  I don’t believe this is a reset / setup issue – seems to be dynamic based on what is going on with the other loads.

    Yes, I did reinstall/reinitialize the Vue 2 from scratch in the App after making the minor changes (a couple CT moves, and adding the 8 channels).  Though as I understand things, there isn’t any ‘calibration’ that occurs during setup – it just tries to auto detect the current flow of solar.  I’m not sure what could be calibrated on the CTs as the amount of current flow through each circuit will vary based on conditions at the time, and they don’t tell your to turn any breakers off to calculate a zero point – or anything like that (except solar).  But in any case, I did the initial setup after making the changes and it didn’t effect anything.

    After further testing and observation, in addition to the jumpy/noisy circuits with light loads, I also see other completely bogus things going on.  I have a subpanel for a pool, and two CTs around the 240V breaker phases leaving the main panel to feed that.  During the day when solar is producing (say 6kW), one of the CTs for the pool subpanel starts to show small amounts of power being drawn.  Only a few watts, but power nonetheless, and only one phase.  Yet I haven’t opened my pool yet for the year, and the pool subpanel has all its breakers off.  There is no actual power going there, just false information.

    Additionally, my solar CT’s and pool CT’s (and wiring) are significantly away from each other in the panel.  So external crosstalk / coupling of the CTs or wiring seems unlikely.  But, they are on adjacent channels feeding the Vue 2.  So this behaves like internal crosstalk inside the Vue2, where the adjacent channel is messing up its neighbor(s).
