Do you have any interest in something like Span combined with a battery system like a Tesla Powerwall? And thanks to Skillshare – The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/undecidedwithmattferrell08211

Lol, $3500?!?!?! And I bet it goes obsolete soon as the company 1) dies 2) discontinues the product 3) gets acquired. I give this thing a less than 10 year lifespan.
Now if they could've put the knockouts on the panel so I don't have to drill every hole would've been great 😒
I am about ready to purchase my solar system and 3 power walls from Tesla. Don’t they include and arrange the install with certified installers? My system is be quoted @ $51,000 before credits. I also heard that I need to make sure I am getting 600 volt panels and not thier old ones. Is this true? I am now considering the SPAN for my system here in SW Florida.
10x markup from a new panelbox? No thanks.
I'm back. The SPAN panel was commissioned today. There is a severe weakness in their CONOP, where they tie the hands of the electrician and get in the way of relationship between the customer and the electrician. I too am looking forward to the potential of this panel, with its ethernet connection to the Tesla Gateway.
Is span compatible for Australian users
I would like to see where power is being used
So let me get this straight: you pay around $5500 (including installation) mainly so you don't have to flip a few breakers once or twice a year? No thanks! Yes, it's a clever product that does a nifty thing, but this strikes me as yet another case of losing sight of the big picture just because there's a new whizbang gadget. The power monitoring is handy, but there are much cheaper options for that.
USian electrical equipment seriously looks like it's from the 30's.
All that steel conduit. Huge steel boxes, 2 phases.

The only problem is: I don't like hackable IOT devices! This looks like 1 . . .
Is it cloud based? As in, how does this work with zero internet connection?
Few things:
1. Span is super impressive. Thank you for sharing. If it wasnt for you, i would never learn about it.
2. Your video production is God mode!! Really slick transitions. I wish I could learn from you.
3. Did you try your hand at Voice over productions? You can make a killer! Love your voice and narration. Big big fan.
It would be interesting to know what is the return on investment on all your gadgets that help you to save energy. 40, 50 years ?
Just short the outlet in the room and the correct switch will automagically turn off. No need for an app to help you to identify it.
I think it is a great idea but 10x more expensive I'm willing to pay for a piece of SW and standard HW.
Have look at Rosewater Energy. Backs up a 200A sub panel. Additionally it is operational 24/7 always isolating you from the variation on the grid
How does this compare to commercial smart panel options that already have light scheduling, remote monitoring and remote circuit reset while keeping the ability to override automation control?
The Lumin Smart Panel is similar and a little less expensive, it also works with no Internet access something likely in a power outage.
Interesting product, especially if doing a new construction and installing solar and batteries. A retrofit or replacement of an existing panel is obviously expensive. I just had a look online and there are Smart Wifi Circuit Breakers for your current board that you can get for about $60 (prices vary by brand). So what if you created a virtual panel using these for the non-critical or power hungry loads and disabled them during a blackout (automate based on the battery status > when disconnected from grid, disable non-crit circuits)). This maybe a small number of circuits, say 4 and now you are at about $240 and the critical circuits stay as they are > on.
The panel cost 3,500 USD 😂🤣🤣🤣
