Description

When looking at the local Web GUI of the Tesla gateway in installer mode you can see the following for each powerwall: Powerwall State Charge Level AC Voltage AC Power

unlike the data provided in the Tesla App and the End User Web GUI. In those interfaces you see a combined value which represents both powerwalls. The problem I ran into that this would resolve is one of my two powerwalls was in an error state and has not been functional for over a year and there is no indication of that in the Tesla App. I finally got logged in via the installer GUI and saw the failure in there.
