Hi all, The new EG4 Connect app, which was released recently, is a big dud in my opinion. Users are clamoring for a better interface, better data, and more useful notifications. And I bet installers might enjoy a better interface as well. EG4 fell short on this app redesign.
I am launching a third-party monitoring app called FourScoped that draws on the same EG4 data, but presents it in a much better way. It has pre-launch pricing right now, but for Wrenches on this list, if you sign up and then reach out to me by email, I'll set you up with a free six-month Pro subscription. Let me know what you think: https://fourscoped.com/ P.S. You might already know this, but I discovered through this process that the old EG4 app's Power chart didn't actually average power over the 10-minute spans it displays. That data comes from Power snapshots every 4 minutes rather than taking energy over that period and doing the math for average power. That resulted in jagged power charts and unexplained dips in production that were not real. Using power measurements taken at 4-minute increments with variable clouds is not going to provide very useful chart data. The new EG4 Connect app shows a real energy chart for daily data, but only has one-hour granularity. I think my approach in FourScoped is better, but I'm always looking for feedback!
