COCT still gives you readings on prepaidIt's a prepaid electricity meter.
The bottom meter is the electricity one.
Im assuming only if you want to feed back to the grid (legitimately)Is SSEG registration in eThekwini compulsory?
COCT still gives you readings on prepaid, that is pretty cool
still very coolIt's basically the total of all units purchased during the month that they automatically pick up based on the meter number.

I just want to check if I understand the time of use settings correctly.
Ours was set as follows by the installer:

So for each time slot the battery will be depleted until it reaches the percentage shown. Once it reaches that percentage or lower the inverter will start to use the grid to power the load. For the 17:00 - 19:00 slot the battery will be charged from the grid if it's below 90%. Is that correct?
In the worst case scenario where the battery is at 30% at 06:00 and load shedding hits (so no grid) I assume the battery will then deplete further until it reaches the 20% (I think that's it) shut off value.
What is diffenre if grid charge is ticked or not?I just want to check if I understand the time of use settings correctly.

With grid charge ticked it should charge batteries from the grid. If it's not ticked the batteries won't be charged, just the load will be covered by grid.What is diffenre if grid charge is ticked or not?
I would change the 30 to 35% for in case there is load shedding and overcast weather to give some time for sun to start charging batteries and you don't deplete batteries
Never used the Deye app, but apparently you have to register separately on each one. So if original account was on Solarman then you need to use that from what I've read.So Deye did something to their app.
Tried to add my plant to the new version stuck on commission,
Using the solarman in the meantime.
Played a round a bit on the new Deye app, under sever settings select the eu server then everything should work and your historic data should be there too.Never used the Deye app, but apparently you have to register separately on each one.

Just checked Deye app now (usually use Solarman business) and it's all good. You log on with the same credentials as Solarman.So Deye did something to their app.

Data migration?Ah, so they might have fixed it during the data migration. I'm pretty happy with the Solarman Smart so will stick to that.
Apparently they moved over to AWS or something which has caused some issues for some users. See this thread. https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/issue-with-deye-app.1269675/Data migration?
SunSynk strikes again…
