Monitoring – myPowerRouter.com
Installation engineers and dealers can use the monitoring function in the myPowerRouter.com web portal
to monitor the status of the PowerRouter remotely. When a customer phones with a question or to report
a problem, the installation engineer or dealer can check the system and possibly even correct the problem
without ever leaving the office. This function can also be used to perform updates on the PowerRouter.
The monitoring function is also what makes it possible to provide the widgets on the website. The widget shown
in figure 33, for example, displays the system’s percentage of self-use. Another widget, shown in figure 34,
shows the percentage of the solar energy which has been generated and used in the home.
Figure 33: Chart showing the self-use value (available on my.PowerRouter.com)
The self-use widget indicates the level of autonomy of the installation in relation to the power grid. In this
example, 27% of the energy required still has to be drawn from the grid.
