Starling Home Hub is only for Nest/Google devices.

If you don’t have a server/etc to run homebridge (or others) the Starling Home Hub is basically a plug and play setup to port Nest into HomeKit.

Thanks for that clarification. Have only looked into Sunpower in the last year specifically because their panels use microinverters. Im going with an independent installer for my system.

With that many warning lights on it’s a good chance it’s the battery or a low battery if the alternator isn’t charging.

If the ac unit is cooling correctly one should see a 16-20 degree difference in room temperature versus the temp coming out of the vent.

This isn’t a thermostat issue or shouldn’t be. It’s just a switch. There is an issue with the system.

I am confused by this post. Are you talking about a string inverter? This is the only thing that makes sense in saying a non-functional system and sending “a new inverter”.

However I was under the impression that all Sunpower panels have micro inverters. So again one inverter does not make sense in this case. As if one inverter failed the system would still function since it wouldn’t take the whole system down.

Edit: first post on a two year old account with seemingly incorrect information …

In my state at least it’s completely optional. I am also sure some dealers do it themselves then try to say it’s done and therefore has to be paid for.

That was the kicker. Main road fairly commercial area. Deer got spooked and bolted from a parking lot right into the right side of my car … was at a major intersection for the area as well.

I didn’t even see the deer. Heard a loud thud noise and that was it. Then I saw the deer in the review going flying with the side mirror cover.

Hands down Soul Red is one of the best colors I have seen … really making miss mine at the moment being in the shop for the last month to repair damage from a deer hitting me …

Might be vin etching on the windows?

Minimum required is a PoE switch to power the cameras and a UNVR for the cameras. Note many of the UniFi routers have the ability to run protect as well.

Network controller isn’t needed unless you want to run a UniFi network as well.

Seems like the compressor is not kicking on then since it isn’t cooling.

Could be a few things but sounds like time to have a tech come out to inspect/repair.

So I just had an issue where my system wouldn’t cool overnight. During the day it was fine.

This wasn’t a Nest issue or shouldn’t be. It’s a thermostat which is just a switch. From reading over the years it’s installs without a C wire for power that seem to have issues. Anyway, in my situation the Nest called for cooling, hvac unit turned on and outside ac unit seemed to run. I would often overnight hear it start then stop then kick on. However the compression was not starting hence no cooling. Tech said the capacitor was out of specification and a new one took care of the issue. This also made the unit quieter as well.

So I would look at your outdoor unit and see if it’s running.

Not wonder Eversource undercut everyone for the new rate. They moved it into the additional fees … so payout less over the summer for solar net metering and then raise prices over the winter so those with solar might not have netted out enough over the summer.

Have just been looking into this myself as we are getting solar soon.

From what I have read, net metering before 2022 the. Reddit builds up and is cashed out at the end of March every year.

The new program from 2022 on is a netting tariff which has two variants, one is for very large producers, so not residential. So the 1:1 credit shows up as a negative bill and is only cashed out when the property is sold.

Now I asked my solar installer and was told the netting tariff is paid out at the standard Eversource rate and if grid power is draw it’s charges at the 3rd party supplier rate if using say Constellation as a provider. Sounds to good to be true, if 3rd party rate is less than Eversource. Is this really true?

I emailed my utility and asked to be removed from the program.

$20 isn’t worth being uncomfortable and having to pay to re-cool the house after an event. Also the program went from 6 days total to any weekday from June 1st to September 1st.

If one is already with Constellation the online sign up via the rate board will not work. Last step kicks out saying you are already signed up. Calling took care of it.

A friend told me they called and got a new rate.

Parts crates as the free reward. Just did this and got the nitrous S6 and with tuning just beat race 75.
