I've got a 5Kva Deye Inverter, 10kva Shoto Batteries (5kva x 2) and 8 x 410W Solar Panels

Thank you very much Hennie, we set it like that to make sure the Geysers are warm for the morning but I agree that I should reduce it to maybe like an hour or two instead of 3 hours and see what the improvement is. I do have an Inverter and Battery Setup currently for the rest of the load, that's how I noticed the power load being mainly on the Geysers.

A few days ago Main Geyser Secondary Geyser

I'd like to know what would be the best way to get better savings out of my GeyserWise Installation I've got 2 x 150L Geysers and each one has a Geyserwise System with 2 x 460W Panels. 2 x 150L Geysers (1 x 600kpa Kwikot and 1 x 200kpa Tecron) 2 x GeyserWise System with 2000W PTC 4 x 460W PV Panels First Geyser is the main house geyser which is used more regularly Then the second Geyser which isn't used as often Does anyone have ideas on how to improve savings? (I'm aware the system isn't as effective in Winter but would like to know what improvements I can make)

I've been using a CBI Astute and I wish it had more detailed stats that one could look at daily. Also you need to register as a Developer on the Tuya IoT platform in order to link it to HomeAssistant. I think it may be better to go with a GeyserWise setup instead of just a Geyser Monitoring system like the Astute. It makes sense to be able to control the temperature as well which you can't do with the Astute or Sonoff. If anyone else has better solutions for this I'll be keen to try them out, I'm looking at upgrading my CBI Astute to a Geyserwise soon.

If I may ask where did you get the Element and will it be compatible with a Kwikot and Tecron 150L Geyser?

Perfect, thanks so much. So I'll start with Smart Geyserwise and then add the element later, would the Geyserwise unit on it's own make a difference due to setting the heat lower? Not sure if I'll be able to add both 2kw elements to the geyser though, so should I do one to the inverter and one with the MPPT and it's own panels or rather consider upgrading the Inverter to an 8Kw at a later stage?

I've got 2 x 150L geysers (Tecron 200KPA and Kwikot 600KPA) I'd like to consider water heating options for these geysers to save costs on electricity as my Tecron consumes 9-10 Kwh per day. Which would be the most cost effective way to go about doing this. Not sure if this changes anything but I've got a 5KVA LuxPower Inverter, 5KVA Shoto Battery and 8 x 410 Solar Panels. I was thinking of Starting with Geyserwise and doing it in Stages (Geyserwise Module First, Geyserwise Element Second and then either adding the MPPT or connecting it to my Inverter) If there are any other suggestions I'd really appreciate.

So I'm using an integration which is built on this "https://github.com/celsworth/lxp-bridge" It just has some improvements and is easier to implement. But it definitely relies on the Wifi Dongle for information, I got it fully working yesterday and only provides data from the time it was set up. Whereas I'm assuming Solar Assistant would show the full history right?

Thank you very much for this, it definitely looks more useful to use Solar Assistant

FYI, I've come across this HA Integration which works quite well, you need to request across to the Github from the owner of it. Just look for Guy's post, you send him an email and he'll grant you access https://community.home-assistant.io/t/luxpower-ac-inverter-integration/283656/142

I'm interested in knowing if anyone has setup Solar Assistant with Home Assistant for a Luxpower SNA 5000? It looks like a good way to add the Inverter to the Home Assistant Dashboard, if there are other ways I'd definitely be keen to try options. So far this is the best one I've been recommended. https://solar-assistant.io/

So just to confirm I change the Discharge Current Limit(Adc) from 110 to 50. It hasn't tripped in a while but if it does I will try this setting and let you know.

I'm only using 1 x Shoto 5.12kWh Lithium-ion Battery It was working fine before installing the panels yes. We installed 8 x JA Solar 410W Panels and it is using 1 string on the inverter.
