Upgrading my Eddi Solar Diverter in 2023 & taking a look at how the old one has held up

Upgrading from the 3-year-old Eddi energy diverter was 100% not needed other than the connectivity to the app being unsupported on my original unit. It will be installed at another location to live its full life. It'll go into service heating a pool and spar I'm told :) Hoping to be able to film or at least see that installation.

They are cracking good units, LOVE THE APP!

@@HBPowerwall can’t beat the live monitoring. Solis and the other Chinese manufacturers need to take a leaf out of myenergi books. No need to send the data to a server in China & back. Cheers.

Cheers for putting this up. I was looking at another system to do the same thing. It kinda makes me want to look into this further and doing some maths on getting one installed to make my off peak smaller. Only a hot water heater for me however.

So glad I helped, going to do a two week update so you & others can see usage after a short period the app makes it a tool I don't want to live with out. I can see in winter i'll be invaluable. Now if only the unit had an external temp sensor you could attach to your HWS just so I can tell in advance how enjoyable my shower will be!

It’s good to see some of your ideas and what you do. You’re local, have been doing this for years and have a vested interest in this. Your data will be great given our climate is the same. I’d just need to see what happens in the next few months. Your experience will be great. Especially given I export around 13-8kw a day after my (small) home battery is charged. I will have to go back through your videos to see what happened to your old one.

Yeh exporting sucks hehe, if your local and you want a proper look reach out, Nothing wrong with the old one still going strong, just didn't have the ability to connect to the new Zappi

I have a similar thing to heat the water in my hot water tank. My hot water gets heated by either an immersion in the water tank or an oil fired boiler. (I'm in rural UK). My immersion heater only activates when I'm exporting, come May I can turn my oil fired boiler off and all our hot water will come from solar power all the way until the start of October. I save on electricity and oil all because of one of those devices. They are great. Up until last summer I used to leave the boiler on and we would need to fill the oil tank roughly every 12 months, with the prices now it would be £1000 a year to do so. I've skipped a year of needing to fill the oil up! So it's basically saved me £1000 in a year lol

That's an insane saving! Well done!

@chikarahokage5536 Жыл бұрын

same here, we have two hot water tank that get heat by the exported electricity, a simple switch to do this rather than the diverter, last longer too

Why is the new Eddi not the latest one with internal hub and two antennas? You didn't need to swap the old Eddi out, all you had to do was install a separate hub, surely? You seem to have wasted some money there to me.

@HBPowerwall 7 ай бұрын

old Eddi didn't connect to the newer hub, it was a very old unit - now they have another WIFI version it would have been better again. That said, the new setup is OUTSTANDING, the savings are incredible!

@P7666 6 ай бұрын

The first eddi will only communicate with the hub and other devices on 868MHz which is used for UK and Europe. We cannot legally use devices on 868MHz in Australia, we have to use 915MHz. This version and the in-built hub can switch between frequency by changing the time zone.
