Live Dashboard (iOS)
The Dashboard tab is the first thing you see when you open Grid Getter. It shows live data from your Tesla Powerwall and solar system, updated every few seconds.
Power Flow
Section titled “Power Flow”The power flow card shows where energy is moving right now:
- Solar — current solar generation in kW
- Grid — power drawn from or exported to the grid (negative = exporting)
- Battery — current charge or discharge rate
- Home — total home consumption
Values update automatically. If the card shows dashes (—), your Tesla connection may need attention — look for the reconnect banner at the top of the screen.
Battery
Section titled “Battery”The battery card shows your Powerwall’s current state of charge as a percentage and an estimated time remaining at the current discharge rate.
The reserve level is shown alongside the current charge. Tap the card or look for the reserve control to adjust your backup reserve percentage.
Adjusting the reserve
Section titled “Adjusting the reserve”Tap the battery reserve control to open the reserve settings panel. Drag the slider to set a new reserve percentage, then confirm. Changes take effect immediately via the Tesla API.
Energy Charts
Section titled “Energy Charts”Energy charts are embedded directly in the Live Dashboard — no separate tab required on iOS. Scroll down past the power flow cards to find them.
Charts available:
- Battery chart — state of charge over time
- Power chart — solar, grid, and home power over time
Use the time range selector to switch between 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month views.
Today’s Automations
Section titled “Today’s Automations”A summary card below the charts shows which automations are active today and any recent actions taken. Tap an automation to go directly to the Automations tab.
DemandGuard Status
Section titled “DemandGuard Status”If you have a DemandGuard automation active, a countdown card appears showing time remaining in the current demand period and your current peak demand against the target threshold.
See Automations for full DemandGuard documentation.
Data pause
Section titled “Data pause”The app pauses live polling when it’s been in the background for a while to preserve battery life. When you return to the Dashboard tab, you’ll see a Data Refresh Paused overlay — tap Resume Data to restart polling.
Pull to refresh
Section titled “Pull to refresh”Pull down on the Dashboard to force an immediate data refresh outside the normal polling interval.
Tesla reconnect banner
Section titled “Tesla reconnect banner”If your Tesla connection has expired, a banner appears at the top of the screen. Tap Reconnect to re-authorize. See Tesla Connection.
