Not sure if this has been talked about before, but I think it’s a real shame the app. In particular does not have a mode where you can view my data but not mess with settings

The reasoning is:

  • I could let my family have access (could be fun for kids to learn about solar)
  • People at work could have access if they are interested in possibly buying a system, for a more hands on experience viewing my data
  • This would be a great marketing opportunity for GE via word of mouth

Perhaps my login with an extra digit at the end like “v” for view only might work?

CARLMW i think its popped up before, cant remmber what the outcome was (probably - yeah at some point)
You can use the API to build from for view only, its what i did for myself here

I was hoping you could use Power BI or Excel but API authentication didn't immediately work... I get an error (in Power BI or Excel) that a key name is required. This post suggests a fix but I couldn't get it to work either.
