Thanks so much for your work and sharing. I'm excited.

Great that you're able to update settings... not just read data. I assume that changes to settings are synced with Enphase's cloud as if done with the cloud-based API.

I assume it's not possible or advisable to disconnect from Enphase's cloud altogether (please let me know if that's actually no big deal). [EDIT: Thanks for addressing this in your other comment.]

Enphase released a better EV charger* a few months ago, that's integrated with the other IQ stuff. It can dynamically send excess solar production into the EV instead of exporting to the grid (and can be set to top off the EV battery with grid imports in the middle of the night). I'll finish installing mine this week. ...Please consider incorporating that into your wrapper :)

I too am pretty quick to roll my own stuff. But I'll try to practice restraint, and leverage your wrapper (and treat it as a standard).

It's much easier to step up or down AC voltage than DC voltage. Too bad the article didn't address that (in the context of its DC transmission hyping).

Thanks so much for your note and these links! Can't wait to give it a shake.

I assume the Home Assistant integration is through the Enphase cloud account. Herein lies the peril.

As an Enphase inverter owner and installer... I'm excited about this blog post and their related posts! I assumed there was no way around Enphase's cloud for getting data. I like Enphase hardware (they also have batteries and smart EV chargers)... but I'm not a fan of their cloud / GUI experience.

Points taken. I just wanted to clarify that it's more involved than swapping out the "plug".

> it can be a cost-effective way to isolate

This never occurred to me, thanks.

> I'm pretty sure it's an estimate Yeah, I (cynically) assume this utility-provided breakdown data is worthless. There's no way around circuit-level monitoring.

I've heard that it's hard to measure gas in residential contexts, because the pressure is so low.

If you can recommend one of these gadgets... I'd really appreciate it.

For most people, running a 240-volt circuit requires an (expensive) electrician. In some cases, it requires drywall work. And maybe a utility service upgrade.

I think it's a testament to HN that your very-critical comment is at the top. I generally love HN and the discussions here. My life is better with it.

But it can be managed, to mitigate mold and decay.

And ABetterSearchForReddit. That's about it for me, besides local searches.

It has the collaborative functionality in Excel Online and in OneDrive-hosted Office-365-subscription desktop Excel.

But in some areas / seasons, the added humidity is a negative.

Thanks!

I wonder if there were combat-training camps for at least some of the slaves (and political dissidents).

> If it didn't make sense, I wouldn't be interested.

It may or may not make sense depending on your location. Many utilities would prefer to make customer-owned solar a very poor financial choice thru rate design (e.g. very high minimum charges, per-kw-installed solar charges, low daytime rates relative to evening rates, wholesale-rate compensation for exported production, etc). Some succeed.

Settle down. A lot of the U.S. doesn't have time-differentiated rates.

cloudhiker just took me to a delightful site. Fun rewarding experience, will prob never use it again.

Yeah, true.

> we're consuming tons of compute power to build bullshit-spewing chatbots

ChatGPT has become really valuable for me during novel programming... so this sentiment annoyed me a bit.

> an AI advanced enough to “just know the difference”

I think the issue would be guests accidentally shooting other guests.

We have one EV and one ICE, and it works great.

Simple and clean, thank you!

I try to keep my chocolate bars at 95% cocoa... less than that and I plow through them.

Wow.
