#ecoflow — Public Fediverse posts

The one saving grace is that, despite the cell failure and it seemingly not supplying any battery power, it's still passing through the #solar panel power attached to it by the new Victron MPPT I installed recently.

So the #EcoFlow is recharging steadily while carrying the light load it has via the hobbled #WattCycle unit.

I wish EcoFlow could be set to automatically restore AC/USB power when it recharges X charge after a self power down. So many odd limits on their capabilities.

➡️ Damit die #Powerstation den Rest des Jahres nicht sinnlos rumsteht, soll sie im Winter den #Heimspeicher erweitern und das Netz entlasten.

➡️ d.h. nachts zeitbasiert laden und tagsüber in den teuren Zeiten entladen.

➡️ Als #Wechselrichter schwebt mir der #Victron 1200 vor

➡️ Power Station ist #ecoflow delta 3 X glaube ich passend.

Ohhhhh so I rediscovered this page in the companion app to my battery, where they attempt to summarize the energy in, out, etc over the lifetime of this product while in my care

It seems that I have avoided drawing 127 kWh from the grid so far (1 year-ish)

That’s a grand saving of… €19!

(This is a €600 product that will probably not last another 5 years)

To be fair, I knew this going in. It wasn’t an investment to save money but to learn about my house and my usage patterns.

Die #Ecoflow Glacier Kühlbox scheint im Rahmen des #Solarsommer2026 in #Freiburg zu bewähren.

If you are looking at plug in #solar now it's on the way in the UK and being bombarded by apparently unbiased positive videos about #Ecoflow kit there is a reason

Ecoflow offer a 5% cash kickback on stuff someone buys via referral . All those people pushing £1000 Ecoflow products are making quite sizeable amounts per sale. It wouldn't be so bad if they all declared this, but a lot do not.

Wait for it to be legal - prices will be way lower, product ranges far better

Bilder vom #Agrikultur Festival in #Freiburg im Eschholzpark.

Überdimensionaler leider leerer #Gartenschlauch, #Ecoflow Solar Kühlbox, Solarpanel von 1991 und Solar #Gartenbahn im Einsatz.

Festival läuft noch um man kann sich über viele Klimaschutz Themen informieren.

Für den #Solarsommer der Stadt @freiburg haben wir von #EcoFlow eine Solar Kühlbox gesponsort bekommen - sie ist bereits heftig im Einsatz und bewährt sich auch bei Hitze.

Doing some #prepper work.

Dug out the generator to test run it and recharge the starter battery.

Collected some of the power generated in some #ecoflow batteries.

It seemed like a flawless test.

I only need to have all this stuff do this stuff because all levels of government are ignoring climate change and the local utility has under invested in the electric grid resilience in favour of high profits.

🔋 🔌 Wir wollen gerne wissen: Wie steuert ihr eueren #Steckerspeicher?

Habt ihr den auf eine feste Wattzahl eingestellt und er speist 24/7 zb 150 Watt ein?

Oder habt ihr ein Messgerät und er speist immer soviel ein wie die Wohnung gerade braucht (Lastfolgebetrieb)?

Oder habt ihr eine Zeitsteuerung? z.b. von 8:00 -10:00 150 Watt, von 10:00 bis 12:00 50 Watt…

Oder ganz anders?

(bitte teilen!)

This is how my #HomeLab is powered. #EcoFlow River 3 for long power outages and #Eaton UPS between it and servers because EcoFlow's UPS capabilities are shitty. Eaton UPS also gives me the ability to change the HomeLab power source without interruptions.

I just tested graceful shutdown on my #HomeLab through #HomeAssistant and #Proxmox API. Worked very well, but I have an unresolved corner case.

Noch ein paar Impressionen vom kurzen Messerundgang - morgen gibts mehr:

Sowohl #AnkeSolix, #Zendure als auch #Ecoflow kommen mit 5 kW(h) Steckerspeicher Systemen.

💬 Frage an den Support von #EcoFlow:

Kann die Power Station OHNE App und Anmeldung auf dem Server in Betrieb genommen und genutzt werden

EcoFlow Ocean 2: Neues Heim­speicher­system und Einstieg in industrielle Energie­speicher https://www.computerbase.de/news/smart-home/ecoflow-ocean-2-neues-heimspeichersystem-und-einstieg-in-industrielle-energiespeicher.98038/ #EcoFlow #Solar

I am currently not sure if the EcoFlow does what I want which is basically:

1. By preference runs everything off solar/battery
2. If solar/battery is too low then it switches to mains supply
3. Tops up battery overnight after 2AM (cheaper power)

I.e. I want to maximise use of free/cheaper power... not use it as a "UPS" in the usual sense of UPS.

Also it looks like the DJI Power 2000 is a similar specification equivalent to consider, maybe slightly cheaper even: https://store.dji.com/uk/product/dji-power-2000?vid=184911

In fact that does a 4kWh option for a pretty good £1,678.

I probably need to watch some utoob summaries/reviews. That can be a research job for tonight.

#Solar #EcoFlow #DJI

I present: The Bogalow Solar Array ... made up of 4x ~210W rated Sanyo panels manufactured in 2008.

Managed to find a way to make 4 panels fit.

Finger hovering over buying an EcoFlow Delta 3 Max Plus right now. (Mainly because it has the option to add more battery, the non-Plus doesn't... though also the Max Plus can take up to 1000W panels and there is scope in this space for me to add a few more which might be a good thing in winter.)

Anyone about to buy anything from EcoFlow, have a referral ink with 10% off lol... I want a referral link for 10% off though! Referral link: https://www.ecoflow.com/uk/referral-rewards?inviteCode=ASRTIUPI35

What's the deal with portable solar panels?

Context: I'm looking to move further into the Mexican countryside (I'd be renting a house) where I'm told power outages are more frequent. I'm debating between no-break/UPS battery vs a proper #OffGrid setup vs a #PortableSolar setup.

An off-grid setup seems formidably expensive, especially for a rented house, but does it make sense to get a portable battery + panel from, say, #Ecoflow (I see they have options in Mexico)? Their portable panels are priced significantly higher than fixed solar panels though.

#AskFedi

Weil meine Batteriespeicher Mittags nicht vom Netz vollladen wollte, obwohl Abends der Preis auf 56 cent geht, habe ich gerade den Modus von "intelligent" auf zeitlich geplant umgestellt, quasi um die Planung zu überschreiben. Später schalte ich zurück.

Die #Ecoflow Software ist echt nicht das Gelbe vom Ei.
