KS Energy 4+

Easy to setup and simple to use, what more could you ask for. The information is clearly presented in a logical manner and I find swiping between pages better than using the 4 buttons near the top.

I have learnt so much about what is power hungry in my caravan as the app displays loads to accuracy of 0.05A updating every second. If I plug my iPhone in for example to charge it, the discharge reading goes up by 0.45A.

However, I do have one suggestion that I would find useful because if you run the battery level completely out the built in protection system completely cuts off the power to protect itself. When this happens our caravan security monitoring system detects this as a possible act of theft and then contacts me by phone not always at a convenient time. Please could the app send a notification before the shutdown level is reached, so the user can make arrangements to either charge the battery or reduce the load. I understand that the iPhone will need to be running in the background and within BlueTooth range but one of the largest loads on for a long duration normally is the TV of course.

Easy enough to use but would be much better as a single screen app, with larger fonts and all the info on one screen, with the addition of remaining time at current load and some background history tracking. Needs to show when info is being collected and when what’s shown on screen might no longer be correct. Loathed to by a Victron shunt when this app could provide all the same info.
