Saying this again, you all should tell Schneider this.
BTW, a tablet can wifi station mode connect to a non internet installed
"conext home" with a saved password. It also can be set-up as a "user"
and no password is required. Neither of these require wifi at the home.
It is all in the 3 ways to install conext home or facility for
configuration.
Maybe this is what Eric Bentsen was telling Glen?

Yah, What the heck? The XW Pro/Discover AES pairing makes up 2/3s of
our installs. Right now I have a client who's Insight Home is glitching
and drops out his smartphone connection. Without the SCP He'd be in the
dark. I just purchased an SCP off of Ebay for 700.00 for a system we
are building for a retiree who uses a flip-phone and doesn't use the
internet. Him having to login in to Insight on a tablet every time he
wants to see SOC would be laughable.

I don't like the idea of a system being dependent on the functionality
of the insight home/facility or the battery life of a smart device / AC
output of the inverter to be able to change settings. As limited as the
SCP is, I think it serves a very important function in system
operation. I'm all for removing unnecessary components, but don't paint
the windshield black. Schneider should offer a Xanbus tablet if this is
the route they want to go.

The key word there is Cobbled. The off grid or grid interactive

smart phone?
Why couldn't Schnieder go the extra step and put a display "with enough
memory" to support legacy and XW Pro equipment on the Insight product
family. I.E. Cerbo GX with display from Victron. Schneider has all
these cheap Chinese all in one product competition with display screens
built in and some other products like the most excellent Outback
Radian that has yet to delete the Simple Man's display.
I understand the potential semiconductor shortage. I just hope
Schneider can balance their approach.
Thank you,

Eric Benstennof SE demoed a pretty slick replacement that he cobbled
together from off the shelf parts using a small tablet.
I saw it in Jan at an Alt-E installer conference.
I think I might have the details somewhere in my files, but it is
basically an inexpensive android tablet, a USB charging wart
usingneither WiFi or a USB type c Ethernet and power adaptwr and a wall
mount for the tablet

Hello Wrenches,
Now that Schneider has phased out SCP, what are the options for a GUI
onsite for non-savvy consumers?
Thanks!
