Discharge and consumption rates don't tally

Hi all,

Newly fitted AIO system today. Noticed on the web portal that the a mismatch in the total discharge/consumption. The Battery is around 100w higher than the house consumption, see screen shot.

Can anyone shed any light on what's going on here?

Thanks!

Consumption is house load only, discharge would be including the overhead for what the inverter needs to run, depending on home load its from my experience 80-150w extra power draw on top of home load.

Ah, it makes sense now - the house load is being measured at the point when the power is leaving the gateway, but the AIO/gateway consumption is before that point and therefore isn't included, when in reality it needs to be as it's part of the house load.

I figured there maybe some efficiency loses, etc., but I didn't think about the actual power needed to run the equipment.

Thanks for the help

givbob No worries my good fellow, in the app the cogwheel under the "away" button will let you turn on calculated load which will include that in the home consumption icon.
