Advice on Amber vs Globird
Looking at Amber and Globird, wanting to get some input where possible.
Globird seems like the obvious easier usage, but would be keen to get hands on setting up HA with Amber if actually worth it.
Those of you who changed from one to the other. What were your reasons, and how are you finding it?
For Amber. Where could I find details/guides on HA setups? Can’t seem to find much info that’s structured for beginners, unsure if i’m looking in the wrong places.
Amber looks like the choice I’m leaning towards, but only if the flipping benefits are worth while.
Globird with zerohero, am I understanding it correct that during the 3hrs since free electricity, I could potentially use the grid to load up the battery + use at house?
some brief info:
- Getting risen solar (10.45kw), goodwe inverter (10kw) and goodwe battery (32kw [4x8.32]) next month.
- Our daily usage is about 35kw during Winter/Summer. Max day’s 70kw with highest 1hr being ~6.2kw. Spring/Autumn sits about daily 25kw.
- WFH 3 days/week
