Nice, the electrician wired up the span panels yesterday exactly how I wanted them, and now I can remotely(!) monitor it, since I also got Internet working at the house. The future is cool.

soon we'll get the remote metering kit, so the span panel knows about battery and solar.

Now that I know it wants to display grid (consumed?), solar production and battery charge/discharge I think I know how I'll ask the electrician to wire up the remote metering kit.

@xabean This is good when contractors realize and just do the requested change without arguing that you are wrong and it's just fine the way it is. I've seen stories...

@dvl if they pushed back I would have been all

@feld span panel and it's own android app. But there is a JSON API you can hit, and the home assistant community has made an integration for it already.

@xabean Does it require some sort of specialized "smart breakers" in that panel?

@feld no, the panel itself is smart. https://Span.io

@xabean Yeah Inwas skimming the specs but couldn't tell what breakers it used. It didn't specifically mention Westinghouse or Square D etc so I was wondering if the breakers were special (and annoyingly expensive)

@feld Square D is supported, because I've read the docs and that's listed in there, and that's what I've got at the new home build.
