Great video, just the facts no hype, well done.
I would be interested if Sonnen battery works with amber.
When will BYD batteries be compatible?
I don't have solar or a battery, and I charge my EV with a standard 10 amp plug (aka "granny charger"). Currently I use a smart plug that I can schedule on/off times manually, but I'd really love a plug that works automatically with your app by price triggers. Is anything like that possible?
We live in the property, we know more than anyone else when we will consume a lot and will not using much. We are family of 4 and three are in the fields of engineering and my wife in health industry. We work in different schedules. Sometimes all at home, sometimes no one at home. We are a bit frustrated when we cannot do much. I wish we have the option to control it manually and leave it automated using Smart Shift. I believe that it is actually what the principle for this Smart Shift technology, using technology for the environment and at the same time saving/earning money.
At the moment, I lost the option of charging from grid or solar in Tesla apps.
In Amber Apps:
1. I could not find what you are saying discharging manually.
2. I could not see also “Automated Solar Curtailment” option?
3. I could not see also “Control my Battery” tab?
At the moment, it doesn’t discharge at peak rate. It charge from grid before sunrise to full and export my solar production at 1-2c sometime negative FIT. Is my program complete? Or still in progress?
I watch the video 3 times and at the same time making notes.

I am a new user and my app looks nothing like that one so many things missing on mine
Just curious can you stop amber from importing overnight? Last night I received 5.6kw of power from grid after it dumped battery to grid.
On a normal night I normally have around 30% of battery left when I wake around 4:30-5. I would rather dump what I have left until sun comes up to start chargering again then dump during the night and have to buy it back.
Would I be better with battery booster?
Also I have automatated curtailment on but it’s still feeding back to grid?
We disconnect our Tesla II from the grid overnight to prevent power coming in from the grid. Of course, you need to set your reserve on the battery to ~ 10% and also ensure you have sufficient capacity left in the battery to cover overnight usage.
Great video. I will be signing up ASAP but I’m waiting for Amber to be compatible with a Sungrow inverter and battery stack.
Any idea when this will be?
Hi Donald, thanks for your message. We're about to launch our integration with Sungrow in the next two weeks, actually! So if you sign up for Amber by around mid April you will be able to onboard your Sungrow battery onto Amber for Batteries.
It’s live now. Great job Amber!
my sungrow inverter is not compatible with amber curtailment, it either shut it down or leave it on during negative FiT period, which means I either pay to import or pay to export.

I turned MRL on and Smartshift repeatedly bought from the grid to keep it at 20%. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought it would just not Discharge to the grid if the battery was below the MRL. The way MRL works now, you can’t use the last 20% of your battery, even to run your home.
Thoughts now a few weeks later? I was under the impression that batteries shouldn't drop below 20% to maintain life. Is this working against your usage?
@@701malibu yeah I’ve heard that too and apparently some batteries have a mandated minimum amount built in that the battery doesn’t go below. But it’s a hidden amount, that is, when the battery says 0 it’s actually at some point like 10%. SolarEdge or my installer set my minimum to 0. I’m assuming they know what they’re doing.
Need help no one gives me answers and I’m making a mess of everything
Also my app does not look like that.
Is there going to be ability to set timers or other preferences. Would be good to be able to manually configure a plan, rather then have to sit on the app all the time while in manual.
Also I assume there is no adjustment for the smart shift base settings ?
As owner of the property and with high technical background, we know more than anyone else when we will consume a lot and will not using much. We are family of 4 and three are in engineering and software field. We work in different schedules. We are a bit frustrated when we can not do much. I wish we have the option to control it manually and leave it automated using Smart Shift.

joined amber for nearly a month, curtailment never works, everyday I get penalised for exporting excess electricity (around 10kWh) to the grid with negative feed in tariff, smartshift automation too aggressive, continuously discharging my battery and end up having to import electricity at higher price to supply the house load.
how is it going now? has it improved?
never work, yesterday I exported 22kW with negative feed in, which could have earn me $2-3 , but I have to pay $1 instead, and have to sell the electricity from the battery at night to recruit the loss, can't even charge my EV, may be it's time to pull the plug.
@@701malibu
in my case when curtailment kick in, it will shut down the inverter completely, which means I have to import from the grid to supply the house even though the sun is still shinning, so I either export 20+kW in -5 cents or import 15kW in 2-3 cents, no win for me.

@@godzillautube wow that sux. I was considering them but have decided it is too risky.
Did you figure out how to fix this, i think that is the problem i am having also
Just correct my serial number
