Hi @juliamc ,

You should now have access. I’ll ping you in the welcome topic.

Done!

 

Have a look for an email as I just tagged you in a post there. 

 

Or go here, and see the ‘Smart Home Trials’ category (the one with the padlock :lock: )

Just as a heads up.

I’ve had one or two members mention that while they were approved for access, they don’t have access for some reason.

If you think you’re one of these members, please let us know! In particular, if you ping Tim a PM, he can double check. If you’ve reached out to me, I can also summon a moderator to get you a key as well.

Hi everyone,

I’ve got an 8kWh Powervault. Just waiting for the sun to shine! :sun_with_face:

Still no grid services in my schedule, but I’m not complaining!!

Had our Daikin Heat pump installed and some radiators replaced just over a week ago. Although we have heat and hot water it hasn’t gone smoothly as there are some outstanding issues.

Wow!… you don’t say @SandraAA !!

There’s a very active Treehouse Area discussing “issues”.

Access is by invitation to Trial Members and others who understand the technology. So I’m going to tag @Tim_OVO here and ask him to let you in asap.

Once there, start in the section called Welcome to the Smart Home Treehouse and say “Hi”.

Then go to “My Equipment Installed for Heat Pump Installation - what's yours?” where you’ll see other Trialists giving basic background details (and photos) of what they’ve had installed.

Welcome @Jamesnorthway !

Access can indeed be granted, but first you must cross my palm with silver and reveal the truth that is the secret password. The question that reveals the password is… Who is the moderator who last posted in this thread?

With one truth, you may pass… :wink:

With two you may know more… :sunglasses:

Three, commands me… :smile:
