- The power production meter (by solar-log) as installed is using a cellular connection making things even worse (odds that the cell modem works in 25 years?). Thankfully it also has Ethernet which I need to get the Solar company to hook up as its in a meter box on the side of my house this isn't a simple plug and play. Once its hooked up I'll know more about its local query ability.
- The panel monitoring box itself pushes to a hosted web-ui (which has already *lost* per-panel data collection in the new webui, thankfully the old one is still around). Its not clear yet if there is a full API, but really its still not local. If they go bankrupt can I still monitor my panels?
I don't really mind this style of UI for devices that are expected to be short lived ( < 3 years ) but anything more should have a local interface.
