Display

• Nodes: PV, Grid, Battery, Generator and Load each show their live power. All the nodes use the same unit, kW, MW or GW, to suit the largest value.
• Battery percentage: shows the battery state of charge. If the plant sends no state of charge, no percentage shows.
• Dots: move along a line when power flows on it. The direction of the dots shows the direction of the power. A line with no dots has no power flow.
• No data: a node with no data does not show. If the plant sends no data, the PV, Grid, Battery and Generator nodes are dim and all the values show --. If no readings arrive, the tile shows Loading..., and then No Data Available.

Settings

The spanner icon on the tile opens these settings.

• Node switches: turn the PV, Grid, Battery and Generator nodes on or off. PV, Grid and Battery are on by default. The Load node has no switch and always shows.

Tips

• More detail for one source: add Battery Live or Grid Power next to the diagram.
