solar production stopped. inverter stuck on self testing
If you know how to use Python, you can run the following script to record the vitals and see what is going on. You have to install pypowerwall at: https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall

Powerwall 2 - Control using Can Bus
You can get pretty detailed current data through the gateway's web API. Here's a python module I use on mine: https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall

Any regrets adding Powerwall(s) to your system?
Finally, if you are tech hacker/maker, you will love the rich APIs that you get with the Powerwalls. There are so many fun projects like pyPowerwall to gather data or control your Powerwalls. I spend way to much time on this. :) Check out Powerwall-Dashboard for example.

Fixing a powerwall firmware failed update
It sounds like the firmware update failed trying to upgrade the Powerwall itself (the TEPOD or TETHC device). I would run pypowerwall against your GW to see what additional data/alerts/errors you could find (using python) - something like:

T425s and great experience with Tesla
That's awesome! I had to run the wizard to remove the Neurio and recall it had the settings still in there. Some of the site info forms did have me question things a bit so I suggest you screen capture the portal data, especially grid_code, just in case. If you have pypowerwall running, you can grab some of this as well:

I have a 12kw 2 power wall system recently installed. been granted pto about 3 weeks ago. Every morning I have to reset my c/b’s so my system will turn on. Has anyone experience this? If so what was the fix. I have already put a complaint in with Tesla they said they are looking into this issue.
What do you see when you log in to the Powerwall Gateway portal (local network or Gateway WiFi)? Or alternatively, use pypowerwall and run pw.poll("/api/troubleshooting/problems") and pw.alerts()

Local Weather Data Added to Powerwall Dashboard Graphs
The Power Flow diagram is made possible by the pypowerwall proxy container and using a text/html Grafana panel and iFrame to render the animation. It is basically rendering the same thing you would see if you log in to the Powerwall Gateway.
- Flaky Tesla Inverter? Any way to get granular data?
-
System rebooting continuously?
I wish the Tesla app had more troubleshooting info. You might want to check out Powerwall-Dashboard or use pypowerwall and a Python script to get more info and the alerts that the PW+ is raising (requires pip install pypowerwall and you can use python -m pypowerwall scan to find your IP address):
-
Solar clipping-Causes?
Does https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall make any sense to you? If so, you can use this library to get logs and additional data from your gateway that might help explain things.

What's that touchscreen in my room?
If anyone is interested in having this type of real-time usage data for their own own home, I highly recommend IoTaWatt: https://iotawatt.com
It's a completely local energy monitor that you can install into your home's circuit breaker panel, and then view dashboards or read data via an API from a local web server running on-device. You choose how many sensors you want, but you can monitor your whole home as well as individual circuits.
For example, I track and trigger automations when my various appliances (laundry, dishwasher, microwave, etc) start/stop. It's very cool. Just be warned that it does require some research, basic understanding of electricity, and comfort working with high voltage mains connections if you plan to DIY it but I found it approachable and easy to setup.
What it looks like: https://i.ibb.co/qBVmBD1/IMG-1595.jpg

Has anyone here switched from flat-rate to peak-hour rates (or vice versa) with Duke? What has your experience been?
I use an IotaWatt system. It's super easy to install and manage. It uses inductive sensors at your circuit breaker so you can see your total usage and per circuit usage. It also easily hooks into HomeAssistant but that's a bit more advanced of a project.

Smart whole home energy monitor? DIY installation.
I have an IotaWatt and am pretty happy with it. It was not the cheapest option; but is simple, reliable, and local only which checked all my boxes. I did install it myself; BUT this involved opening up and poking around inside my breaker panel. AFAIK this is pretty much required for any per-circuit home power monitoring. Insert "The power inside your breaker panel can kill you instantly and painfully" warning. My panel is mounted on the wall (rather than inside); and I guess I could have put the clamps on the wires where the exit the panel. But it would have been much harder to identify circuits. Also it would probably be much messier.
- Any suggestions what is happening to my electric bill??
- Can someone tell me what this reading is? My electric bill quadrupled this month.

Home Energy Monitoring Dashboard
For individual circuit energy monitoring, I use Iotawatt. This involves installing CT clamps in the main breaker panel to monitor the circuits you want to monitor. I’m comfortable doing it myself but if you’re not, DO NOT mess around with it, hire a professional electrician instead because you can get electrocuted.

New house, need help with energy monitor.

CMP Strikes! After years of equal monthly use, CMP said our use DOUBLED in March. We were on vacation for 1 of 4 weeks. This is impossible. Anyone else see this? I'm considering filing suit. (I'm a lawyer).
Since you have home automation, you may already know of IoTAWatt - it's a little cheaper than others, and works really well on its own or with HomeAssistant etc.

Is Sense accurate, and can it be trained?
Sense is really good at measuring overall usage. Their neural network analysis to identify individual devices is anything but reliable. If this is important to you, I suggest you monitor individual circuits with something else (eg. iotawatt).
