That's at least 6 months since we installed switchbot on the iboost water heater. Been switching it on from here in Cyprus to bring the HWT on. Said to No1 son to use our place while away, save bills at his. I have it set for 5 pushes per request via the app. This wakes the iboost then brings manual HWT boost on for an hour. Can see the wattage flow from Goodwe data change in real time as PV fully diverts (2kW) to tank and power drawn from batteries too. Switchbot have recently launched a camera, might give that a go too as this has been an excellent success.
Meanwhile array 2 stealthily throws 1kW into batteries with no fanfare and massively slows down the fall in SOC figure as shown on the Goodwe.
