TED5000 Support / Re: Why are the LOAD PROFILES I am adding to the TED 5000 NOT being saved ?

Solarman,

The TED 5000 has been running into some issues with browser compatibility over the last couple of years. The issue causes the device to save information in inappropriate locations on the memory of the PCB. To get around this error, people have had success using Internet Explorer (if you are on Windows), and the 2016 version of Firefox (for Linux and Mac). Below is the link to the Firefox version in case that is what you need!

TED5000 Support / Why are the LOAD PROFILES I am adding to the TED 5000 NOT being saved ?

« Last post by solarman on January 27, 2020, 09:22:05 PM »

After my TED 5000 Gateway died    I replaced it with a replacement gateway and installed the latest firmware on hand, ie Gateway firmware version 1.0.499 and FootPrints version 1.0.281.  After I used the System Settings Wizard, it looks like the TED 5000 is monitoring my power usage on MTU 1 and  Solar production on MTU 2.  However, when I try to configure any loads in the LOAD PROFILE, the LOAD PROFILE WiZARD accepts my inputs for a new load profile, but after saving the settings and closing the wizard, there are no load profiles on my LOAD PROFILE tab.  I've tried rebooting the Gateway, no Joy.

Is this feature still available/supported with my firmware revisions ?
Everything else appears to work (except for the Weather Panel on the Live Dashboard).

I just released update 0.8.3 to TED Screensaver.

The first release had a limitation where the Min and Max readings would only be updated when the screensaver was running.  This update fixes that issue by adding a second optional program called TED Screensaver Companion which constantly monitors power use.

I wrote a Windows screensaver that pulls data from the TED Pro and displays a gauge on the screen showing the amount of power that is currently being used.  I'm making this freely available to anyone who wants to use it if anyone is interested.

There is no installation required.  Simply download TedScreenSaver.SCR and copy it into your Windows directory.  Then use the Windows screensaver selection dialog and choose TedScreenSaver.

In the screensaver Settings dialog box, enter the URL you use to access Footprints.  i.e. http://ted6000/Footprints.html if that is what you use.  You can also choose maximum gauge watts, a gauge color set, and more.

This should be considered Beta software at this point.  It's working well for me, but who knows what bugs might show up on other systems.  If you decide to try it, let me know here how it works.

I can't help you on the Roku side, but it's an interesting idea.  If fact, I may just give this a try and write a Windows screen saver for this idea.

Also, if there is another way to get the TED information to a video screen without too much hassle and that does not necessarily involve working with another technology provider, then that might be a good idea as well.  If there is a competitor to Roku that offers similar capabilities to Roku, then they might also be worth considering.  The overall idea here is that I have long thought it might be interesting if I could see the TED information as a screensaver option on my video screen, as well as perhaps view a bit more in-depth information as a selectable choice in the channels.

TED5000 Support / Suggestion - Roku channel, Roku Screensaver

Hi -
I suggest that Energy Inc consider working with Roku to:

- allow for the TED information to display as a screensaver on a video screen hooked to a Roku.
- allow for a TED channel on the Roku that would allow for a person to view and scroll through the basic TED information on the video screen rather than just on a computer or the separate handheld LCD display.

This 'every 15 minute data error' problem cropped up again.  I also see that coincident with this, there are also problems with Ted Commander.  That was happening the last time too.  So now I'm wondering if somehow Ted Commander is causing my local problems.

So I disconnected my connection with Ted Commander to see if my local problems clear up.
