I’ll start by saying the app has some great information. Being able to see consumption and solar generation real-time has been a good tool to find where electricity is being used. The bad: it requires me to connect to a slower network to use. I have multiple WiFi networks set up. One is dedicated to IoT devices and that’s what I have the meter connect to. I have a separate 6Ghz network I use for devices capable of 6Ghz, my phone included. The networks are not isolated meaning I can be on the 6Ghz network and still talk to slower IoT devices on that network. The app needs to start by scanning to see if it can see the meter which it should be able to do, as long as the meter remains connected. Stop forcing me to change networks just to use the app. Fix this and I’ll change my review to five stars.

App is overly tied to the limitations of same WiFi network for realtime use. Doesn't matter the 2.4g and 5g are the same ip space, I’m forced to connect to the 2.4g in order to see the realtime. Changing WiFi networks works on every 10th try, app disconnects and reconnects on random. Hot garbage at best, but I’m excited to see my realtime use when it’s up long enough to see. Tips to the dev, store relevant device name/ip info in the app for faster reconnect and get rid of the same WiFi network nonsense we learned how to fix in 2014.

Checked my WiFi router and confirmed the device is on the 2.4ghz band. Real time data still doesn’t work. Really unimpressed as it sounds like this is a common issue. I can see in my router dashboard that the meter uploads data every 7 hours like clockwork, but can’t do real time data? Some really bad technical design going on behind this app or the smart meter design. Really confusing considering it’s the focal selling point of this app?

Unfortunately the latest app update broke the realtime usage feature which is the primary use of the app. It shows the same value for each poll of the “my current usage” in watts. If this isn’t resolved there is no point in using the app beyond seeing aggregated historical data which isn’t all that useful.
