Some teething troubles, but happy so far.
I've only been with Amber for two weeks, so can't really comment on how economical (or otherwise) it is. That will have to wait until I have a couple of months to compare with my previous supplier, ACTEWAGL. On boarding was easy, but there was a hidden snag in that my Powerwall 2 was still linked to ACTEWAGL's VPP. So my battery device, after about 7 days, was removed from Amber, with a note that it will be re-established with Amber automatically when it is released from ACTEWAGL. In the meantime, I found I was sending excess to the grid, even when FIT was negative. I overcame this temporarily by creating an OpenHAB rule to curtail my inverter when the battery is full and the FIT is negative. I will remove that rule, in favour of SmartShift, when ACTEWAGL give me the battery back. Otherwie I'm very happy with the responsiveness of Amber support. Well done!
