Just came across this - looks like Myenergi having some problems

Re: Trouble at Myenergi?
They've been in trouble for a while.
The Zappi was genuinely gamechanging. They launched solar-diverting, PEN-fault detection, and other "smart" features into a market that was dominated by the dumb Rolec. However other charging points soon caught up with many of the features and Octopus integration took a ridiculously long time to implement, by which time the market had moved on and the Ohme became the wise choice.
They spent years "developing" a house battery solution that turned out to be a rebadged and overpriced Kstar.
Tricky space to operate in too. Once you fit a charging point that's you done for a decade at least. Great in the early days when no one has one, but once you've sold a few hundred thousand units you need to look abroad for expansion.

They've got the Eddi as well, but I get the point. I know they have been selling abroad, but I guess every country has its own regulations and competitor products?

Re: Trouble at Myenergi?
One thing that's really nice about the MyEnergi stuff is the API and Home Assistant integration.
For instance, I can start forced battery discharge at 5.30am, then virtually plug the car in (well, I plugged in before going to bed, but left Zappi in stop mode) by setting my Zappi to eco+ at 8am which generates a schedule and puts the home battery storage back into forced charge mode and sets up a boost on the Eddi.

Re: Trouble at Myenergi?
The evolution of the electricity market has made the self-consumption feature of the Zappi irrelevant. Most people who have an Eddi (or competitor) have turned it off. It is better to export at 15p these days...

Re: Trouble at Myenergi?
Don't really use that any more. Better to export.
Edit: As Stinsy says...

Re: Trouble at Myenergi?
That's my biggest concern and I voiced it on their forums. I've had too many products where the company has gone under rendering it useless because of a cloud api. I really hope they have a plan to not leave users in the lurch if they don't make it. A local API is essential.SimonSays wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2025 5:08 pm One thing that's really nice about the MyEnergi stuff is the API and Home Assistant integration.

Re: Trouble at Myenergi?
I certainly hope they survive as they've replaced my four year old EDDI FOC recently when it threw an error code that couldn't be sorted via a software update, they even had an installer come round to fit it even though I'd fitted the original myself. Great customer service not often seen these days.
