I had a network error.  I knew my info was correct so I kept hitting (out of frustration) the retry.  BINGO.  It eventually connected and all is well…..for the moment.

Thanks for the quick response.

Ok, I understand better on the 220 combinings.  That way I can view each leg and also view the combined legs.  I also have each leg of my 220s CTd.  That pretty much has my 14 of 16 CTs.  Know wonder you have 2 Gen2s.  I have 25 breakers to go.  Since my panel is open at the bottom I was thinking of mounting the control box under the panel and run the CT wires through a knockout.  Then I could place a cosmetic shield to hide everything.

I want to +1 the desktop version.  I’m old.  Have poor vision.  Have phat phingers that are a problem on my pocket computer.

Also, can we get a LIKE button on each of the comments in a thread and not just at the beginning?

Hello Everybody,

I’m near Fredericksburg VA and just installed my Gen2 yesterday.  My OCD is off the chart based on the pic.

Anyway, I was trained on vacuum tubes so I’m old.  I have seen the evolution of computers since I was a service technician for many years.  Everything I worked on is either in the museum or on the History Channel.

Hey JohnSKO, your electrician was way more OCD than mine was.

I’m adding a generator so have done waaay too much research so ask me anything.

A someone mentioned, I too am afraid that once these units have a large enough installed base that they will go the subscription route.  I have a lot of Wyze Labs cameras and they have gone through a lot of growth and are struggling on how to cover the cloud costs.

I’m here and will continue to monitor this community.  I have a spreadsheet on my breaker panel so I have some tips on that.

Spiker,

You bring up some great points.  I just installed my 16 CT yesterday.

1)  I only have one VUE so not an issue for me……..yet.

2)  I was just thinking about this.  I have my entire panel on a spreadsheet of what EXACTLY is on what breaker.  I have it in order of odd number then even numbers.  I have a second sheet that lists by location order.  Would be nice to have some idea of what is on the circuit.

3)  I haven’t look at notifications so can’t comment on this yet.

4)  I have no plans to include my Ecobee t’stat.  I pretty much set it to one temp and left it alone, no ups or downs.  Mine is a heat pump with a HUGE electric toaster as the back-up heat.  I told my Ecobbe to never turn on the toaster unless we have been in an ice age for 21 days.  I did program it to run the air handler for 5 minutes every hour to get the air somewhat balanced between the two levels that are on one system.

5)  Yep, I was thinking about that as well.

6)  I’m not sure what you mean there.

7)  I was just going to ask them if there was a desktop app.  I’m old.  Have poor vision.  Have phat phingers that are a problem on my pocket computer.

Trying to get all that wire in an orderly arrangement is playing havoc with my OCD.

 

I’m anxiously awaiting thoughts and suggestions and opnions.
