I've had batteries, inverter and solar panels installed two days ago.

The https://givenergy.cloud/ page works fine even when I'm away from home, but the Android app only works when I'm connected to WiFi.

Is there some setting that needs to be enabled?

Also, how do I register another user (my wife) so she can also monitor what's going on?

Thanks,
Adam

Odd. My Android app works fine in 'away' mode too.

I don't think you need to enable anything - it should be using your credentials to connect to the server.

For your wife to monitor, can she just log in with your account credentials? That's what we do.

AdamCimarosti you might want to have a scroll through the recent threads on the same topic and/or use the search. The answers may be in them. 😀

I am not sure of the issue, are you saying the App wont connect while using 4G?

You can install the App on as many devices as you like, I have 3

There are 2 Android apps available:

The official one
and an alternative one

The official app allows you to change settings and fully control the system and should in theory work anywhere. The alternative app only allows you to monitor the system (no changes) and only works on your home wifi. The alternative one may be a good choice for secondary users who don't want to change settings.

It seems both of these apps are region locked to the UK. I happen to have a google account that is US based for legacy reasons, so I cannot install the app. Acquiring the APK would be helpful, devs?

gavinc Not sure why the app would be region locked, that sounds odd to me

I'm not going to link direct as I've no idea on what is fair game on here but "APK Pure" has all the versions going back to 2021 if you must. I needed to use it to get the app on an old Android that wasn't supported (but worked anyway)
Up to you if you trust that source of APK or not.
