How To Install An Eddi & Integrate A Zappi, Harvi & Battery Storage.

[@alanhealy9900]

What a thoroughly interesting and professional video. Amazing, thank you for kindly sharing this set up.

Thank you for your comments and watching!! 👍👍

Fantastic video Adam. I just accepted a job offer from a Solar Panel installation company. My background is IT. This video really helped me get a better understanding of the MyEnergi Eco System. Top notch as I have come to expect from you after months of watching.

[@sotaelectrical]

Hi Gary, well done on your new job!! Hope it goes well!! Thank you for consistently watching my content, really appreciate your support 👍👍

[@garymurphy2463]

@sotaelectrical thanks Adam. Its easy to watch a Master at work ;)

@@garymurphy2463 lol let me know when you find one to watch 🤣

Love these videos mate. I’m a social housing spark so I don’t get near any of this stuff, it’s great to be able to learn about it. The Zappi stuff looks brilliant, can see why you install so much of it.

[@sotaelectrical]

Thank you mate 👍👍

[@99heinze]

Nice tip on the Harvi mounting

Thank you 👍

Thank you

Great video mate, easy to follow especially for newly qualified/apprentices that don’t get too see this stuff👌🏻

[@sotaelectrical]

Thank you mate!!

[@M0PAX]

Love your videos keep up the good work

[@sotaelectrical]

Thank you 👍👍

[@TomPhilpott-br2up]

Is there a setting to link the Eddi to battery storage?

[@jakeroadtonowhere4070]

Me to love the video even though I’m never gonna try this myself find it very interesting learning something new everyday👊🏻 Awesome job

Thank you 👊👊👍👍

Great video Adam. Did you change the parameters for Export Margin and Response Delay on the eddi? I have a recently installed Givenergy AC coupled inverter and found that the eddi responded too quickly to the systems load-balancing where a few watts can flow too and from the grid for a very short period (seconds) so when its exporting eddi thinks its surplus and switches on the immersion heater for a few seconds. I have set mine to 100W and 30 secs as a test.

[@Dan-Athema]

This may be a dumb question but after you download the firmware update do you not need to install it?

[@sotaelectrical]

Once it’s downloaded it’s done 👍👍

[@garymurphy2463]

@@sotaelectrical noticed this also. Good to know!

[@rh3223]

Just what I was looking for. Cheers

[@jameswhite4953]

Great install! It looks like the Eddi is still setup to measure grid as well as Zappi. This might cause some conflict. I think you (if you haven’t already!) will need to toggle off the grid on the internal CT config on Eddi.

[@beaker8501]

Hi there, can you use a eddi to heat a hot water heatpump ? Or just an element type HW tank ? :) great video too thanks

[@sotaelectrical]

I’m not completely sure to be honest, give myenergi a call to confirm, and thank you sir 👍👍

[@Big-T-]

Never knew you could pair the WiFi like that always managed using WPS. The sticker on the front is pointing to the actual tab you need to pull off that can only be seen with the cover off lol.

[@smikedenney222]

Hi, I have a simple grid tied solar installation and a lot of energy is wasted and goes out to the national grid. If possible I would like to send some of that wasted power to an AC coupled Battery via a myenergi Eddi device. I spoke to an electrician who said the Eddi is only used for hot water tanks but that’s wrong because it also connects with a Zappi car battery charger. Would the Eddi be able to send power to an AC battery device?? Regards Ian

[@sotaelectrical]

So the Eddie is primarily used for the hot water tanks, you don’t need an Eddie to divert excess solar to the battery storage, you need a harvi and a CT clamp, that’s it.

[@Brijoolz]

Be interesting to see how an Eddi interlocks with an S plan heating system, where it interrupts the power to the DHW valve demand (if that’s the best way to do it!). Also, can the Harvi be used instead of a hard wired for the grid? My garage, where my Zappi is , is remote from the house. Thought I tried it when I first installed , but I thought it needed to be hard wired.

[@tom1997williams]

Yes I believe you can use the Harvi for that purpose. As long as both the harvi and Zappi are close enough that they can talk to one another.

[@Brijoolz]

@@tom1997williams seems like a long payback if it only provides a top up once there is surplus solar electric. If only heating the water from the grid electric then I can see the potential value.

[@Johnny-Cyber]

Great video mate. Q's : does Zappi need a its own ct sensor ( if Eddi already has 2 CT's hard wired to consumer unit? 1 for house load and 1 for PV generation..... and can Eddi talk to the new Zappi (built in hub) without need for Harvi?

[@johnathanquinn9143]

I need this integration!

[@hikariary9950]

If you can, please upload a video of Eddi . for heat pump water heater installing.

[@JogaBhambra]

Great video, but would suggest always hiding passwords.

[@museobanus]

How does this eddie know that you have reached max temperature?

[@BLOCKsignallingUK]

Presumably it has a ct on the immersion feed and sees no current flow when it applies volts to the immersion

[@tonywebb9909]

Be careful using the Zappi as the master, some customers turn them off when not using them. Of course where I am we have to have a isolator right next to them because they are over 3KW. Not sure you guys do that yet?

[@Swwils]

Export price of electricity is always over the price of gas so the eddi is pointless.

[@adamdavis2788]

Unless you are locked into the older prices most electrical supply companies only give a few pence per kw

[@Swwils]

@@adamdavis2788 why would you be locked into any price.

[@adamdavis2788]

@@Swwilsfrom what I understand if you had solar installed 10ish years ago you would get payed 20p a kw that you export and you where almost locked into the price for it but now you can’t get that anymore

[@Swwils]

@@adamdavis2788 you can get 17p to 28p now.

[@jameswhite4953]

I’m on FIT (feed in tariff) so I get paid for a rate for export and a rate for assumed export of 50% regardless of what I use / export.

[@bradleyarcher9840]

Smart money is octopus intelligent go, charge everything you can at night 7.5p kWh and then export everything during the day at 15p kWh, living off the battery when there isn’t much solar (after charging it at night) surely?

[@sotaelectrical]

Yes that’s perfect if your on octopus, using the solar to heat the tank is still a good idea.
