This device is quite dense and priced accordingly. Other dumb UPSs or "solar batteries" with this level of battery capacity are all around $1000.

Great work on the local API first approach. I can't remember the last SmartAppTM device that was local API first and not wholely dependent on some fly-by-night SaaS that requires you to sign-up. Hope we see more of this in the industry. Span is infamous for removing local API control of their panels.

Our team's really excited about the local-first approach. Both because it's going to make the system more reliable overall (essential for devices aimed at resilience), and because we're also excited to build integrations and see what the community develops as well. You're right, so few do it even though there's so much to gain. Happy to take any thoughts or requests on local monitoring/control/data features that you'd like to see!
