Like the title says...and I hope it starts a tsunami of refund requests and also some legal nudge.

I joined on the basis that carry on was included in the price. Unless the "pay to join frequent flyer programme" offers the same benefit, then I deserve a refund.

IANAL but I suspect consumer law might back me up.

Or am I delusional?

FWIW, it isn't about the money, there simply a level to which I will not stoop.

We installed a 16kW sigenergy battery last month and just ended our first full month with globird.

Just got an email "your latest bill is ready".

I knew we had hit the zerohero every day and hadn't paid for anything from the grid, so I was very keen to see...

Opened the app: $1.79 !!!   I let out a "how great is this" yell.

Then I noticed

CREDIT $1.79

w00t!

Prior to that we were with Amber...would have had a $25 monthly fee (liable to increase over time) had we not switched.

[UPDATE] I hadn't really looked at the bill, getting a Qld govt rebate of about $30 helped :P

Just received my APC40MkII. You would think that Amazon would wrap it in neutral paper rather than ship it in the original box so that when it is left on the doorstep it is a less tempting target...but no.

Avenue comes with a native mapping included. Do people find it is good enough or is it worth the considerable effort to do my own mapping?

One consideration is that if I am ever on someone else's unit, and we both have custom mapping, then confusion is sure to reign.

On the other hand, the native mapping may be ideal.

Opinions are as valuable as facts 😉

First month with a new sigenergy 16kW battery on old solar array and couldn't be happier, have paid for 0 kWh so far.

Well, I could be happier. We get 3 hours of grid energy for free 1100 - 1400. Generally our battery is around 40% charged in the morning as the sun hits the panels. So why not sell that to the grid?

Is it possible to set to sigenergy app to say "if the battery is over 30% at 0900, discharge until 1100 unless it drops to 10%"

I suspect I could do this with home assistant, but I want to keep the setup relatively simple.

G'day all, my Dutch wife and I are going to be in the Netherlands during September. We go to raves and festivals often and are wanting to do something special while there.

We won't have any of our usual camping gear so I suspect a one day event will be best.

What about an amazing club in Amsterdam? Berlin? (Where I am lobbying to visit, just for the club experience 😀)

I've done a bit of research and haven't turned up anything yet. Maybe locals or someone in the know can help - any suggestions would be really appreciated.

The title says it all really. I'm referring mostly to WhatsApp but also Messenger. Are chats really private?

Get out and enjoy some live music or soon there won't be any. Mo's Desert Clubhouse (mentioned in the article) is my local venue...it is also my favourite.

I have TouchOSC and before I buy an APC 40 I am wondering if anyone has weighed up the pros and cons of each.

If there isn't a template for TouchOSC I know there is a lot of work creating one. But it is cheaper than the hardware.

But the hardware is likely more robust than TouchOSC.

Your thoughts and experiences?

[Edit] damn I wish the title could be edited...

Please

No more "am I too old?" - hah! There is a popup if you ask this, nice work mods.

No more shaming of people who mock us gravers.

Just forget it.

I am 71yo and go to festivals and raves regularly. It's the last time I am going to mention it.

Anyone else in or near Brisbane interested in an open HDMI night? It is mostly open decks, but they are letting VJs play as well.

This Friday night at Diffuszed Studio in Wooloongabba - find them on IG. I'll be there.

TL;Dr for others who see this - the consensus from Redditors is to not bind your battery in the globird app.

=============

Just had a battery installed. Pretty happy with 0kW from the grid for 5 days so far.

In the globird app there is a thingy to bind my sigenergy battery to their system.

Is this a good idea or not, and why?
