John Thanks for your sub!
John The subscription page states, my subscription ends next year 2025, is it not on Auto Renewal?
Auto-renewal is on by default via our Payment Provider. And will be automatically renewed. If you want it off, you can follow the 'Cancel Subscription' link at the bottom of your 'Wonder Watt Subscription' email. That will leave your subscription active for a year but will not automatically renew.
Used for 'Smart Charge' schedules. Currently not needed on Agile, but will become relevant with solar forecast integration for Agile.
We calculate the target SOC to reach based on solar forecast and current battery state of charge (SOC). This correction factor allows you to adjust that if you find that WW is over or under estimating the target SOC to reach.
Setting to leave Eco mode on during Export. More info in thread here: https://community.wonderwatt.com/d/453-givenergy-inverters-eco-doesnt-need-to-be-off-when-exporting
On some Giv inverters, for a true 0 discharge, Eco needs to be turned to off, because setting discharge to 0 W still draws 300-400 watts here and there.
John Is there an Idiots (like me) Guide somewhere on Acronyms, Terminology and How to… for Wonder Watt & Giv Energy and how they work together to my advantage?
There's a ton of info on the forum, but just ask away, plenty of helpful users on here!
John Further, as a Giv Energy user is your time spent mostly on Giv Energy or Growatt?
Bit of both really, however, Growatt doesn't have a well published API unlike Giv, and lacks the type of granular control that Giv provides. Or you could search the release notes here: https://community.wonderwatt.com/d/96-wonder-watt-release-notes for the term 'Giv' to get an idea. ;-)
John I have to ask myself is £54pa value for money?
For most, it will depend on how much you value your time. If WW saves you time, even 5 mins a day compared to any alternative (and for Agile, that's likely a conservative guess), it saves you 2.5 hours per month. At £4.50 pm (annual sub), you're 'paying/saving' yourself £1.80 an hour for your time by not using WW.
Thanks again - let us know if you have any questions or feature requests!
