I would hope that you guys are feeding this back. I tell them what you are saying but better from you.
I agree that Insight 2 is missing the most important screen that gateway and combox have and that is the battery summary screen. A 24 hour picture of the system that has months of data by the day. Disagree about Insight2. It does allow me to remote configure easily BTW. I was told that new gateway firmware would be out in Q4. Getting pretty near the end of that promise. https://solar.schneider-electric.com/conext-gateway-conext-insight-2-product-feedback/ [1] Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [2] e-mail [email protected] [3] text 209 813 0060 On Tue, 3 Dec 2019 14:33:30 -0500, Howie Michaelson wrote: Hi Glen, My experience with Schneider Support over the last several months has been very variable in terms of how accessible they are. There have been times when I ring right through, and others when I'm on hold for more than an hour (I think my personal record was a total of 2.5 hours in one day due to my call being dropped after 70 minutes of waiting. I have tried the online request for support route several times and I can't remember if I've ever received a call or email back from that, other than once when I got a call back maybe 5 days after I submitted my request - clearly that is not a very functional system. I also think it would be quite helpful if there was a way to reference a case number on line to see what the current status of a support issue was if it was something that I was waiting for a more information about or a higher tier response from, but as far as I know that is not available to us. When I do get through, I mostly feel like I've gotten decent to really good support, although my impression is that there is a fair amount of siloing between the various design, engineering, and support departments which has caused frustration for me in getting clear answers or solutions to issues and problems. As far as the gateway, I am happy with the interface and functionality when onsite, but the Insight 2 portal seems extremely limited and for the most part useless from an installer perspective, mostly geared toward making things easy to read for end users, but not supplying some real basic information and functionality needed to even keep track of a site, no less troubleshoot it offsite. So far it is a big disappointment since I had the impression that it was promised to give total transparency and programability into a remote site. I can only hope that Schneider is doing due diligence in developing those capabilities before releasing them on us - perhaps wishful thinking...

I created a case online 5 days ago and received receipt of a case number - do I now have to wait for my number to come up and for them to call me? Anyone else experiencing this, or did I miss something? I am registered with Schneider as an installer... I have an off-grid customer I talked into using their equipment partially based on feedback I got here about the new Gateway...so far I am unimpressed with internet connectivity and the Insight 2 portal... He is now snowed in for the winter here and access is only by snowmobile. Two identical systems and I need to get answers ASAP! Thanks for any feedback.
