Enabling notifications
Section titled “Enabling notifications”- Open the menu (top right) → Notifications.

- Turn on each report or alert you want (Daily Report, Weekly Report, Tomorrow’s Forecast, Operation Mode, Battery Level, etc.).
- Where time is available (e.g. daily report, tomorrow’s forecast), set your preferred time and timezone.
- For email reports, enable the corresponding “Email” option (e.g. Email Daily Report) and ensure the email on your account is correct in Account settings.
Push vs email
Section titled “Push vs email”- Push — Delivered to your device; some types are push-only (e.g. operation mode, battery alerts, tomorrow’s forecast).
- Email — Available for daily, weekly, and monthly reports; you can set different times for push and email (e.g. push at 8 PM, email at 9 PM).
Tomorrow’s Solar Forecast
Section titled “Tomorrow’s Solar Forecast”- Requires a solar forecast to be set up for the device (Forecast — Forecast.Solar or Solcast).
- Once enabled, you get one push per day at your chosen time with tomorrow’s expected generation and peak times.
Battery level alerts
Section titled “Battery level alerts”- Set a threshold (e.g. 20%). You’re notified when the battery drops below or recovers above that level. Checks run on an interval (e.g. every 15 minutes).
Operation mode monitoring
Section titled “Operation mode monitoring”- Sends a push when the inverter’s work mode changes (e.g. from Self Use to Feed-in). Useful to spot unexpected mode changes.
Subscription (iOS / in-app)
