SwitchDin tech updates | 18 October 2022

 

Stormcloud:

  • New control types & devices have been added for SwitchDin’s optimisation engine: Inverter setpoints and relay control capabilities

  • Updated the control group scheduling functionality so that users can now program setpoints & priorities in VPP controls

  • Bug fix on default controller values

Droplets:

  • We’ve changed the LED pattern on our Droplet ONEs to reduce flashing.

  • From now on, only the last LED (‘Dev’) will flash to indicate that the Droplet is functioning properly. If flashing stops, this means there is a problem. The meaning of the other lights remains the same, but they no longer flash.

  • The bottom left shows the LED light arrangement when the Droplet is connected to the internet.

  • The bottom right video demonstrates the LEDs when the Droplet has no internet connection.

  • This change has already been rolled out to Droplet ONEs in the field, with the exception of some specific instances where a firewall is in place preventing software updates from taking place automatically.
