details on age and cycles please?

Very important - I might be in the market for these

Plan looks solid - if you can get 18 panels then go for it - panels are the cheapest upgrade and if you can max those as far as possible then go for it - it will help you even on a cloudy day.Spend an extra R600 and get a geyser smart switch installed - heating is the biggest draw on batteries so timing it for the day will go a long way.

I'm currently running 2x5Kw Sunsynks with no issues. Manufacture dates of the inverters are over 1yr apart but they are on the same firmware and provide great functionality in parallel. It is true there is a bit more complexity but its also set and forget, You change the settings on one and they cascade to the other without you needing to do anything. Redundancy is key for me hence i got the 2x5 vs 1x8 / 10

Decent battery pack there - GLWS

Lovely - thank you! Will be on touch

Howzit - i'd be keen to do a deal next week if the items are still available?

All these devices run on the Tuya cloud platform - so yes any device you have in CBI can run in Smartlife. The CBI app is just a reskinned version of Smartlife / Tuya app as well. Once the devices are in Smartlife they cant be active as well in CBI (to my knowledge)

Sorry for the delayed reply - didn't see the notification In HA i get a number of entities using this MQTT integration - an example > or These are simple because they come in already setup as switches so i can use a card to toggle them on or off quite easily. >> Other entities come through as number values so a slider card might work best, e.g. setting the rate of charge
