I had my LUX system installed this week. I am trying to work out how to read the data. I am trying to find out how much energy did not come from the grid. Is it as simple as adding up the battery and solar production from the graphs at the bottom of the page? When they were installed they complete discharged to 10%. The next day we managed to get them back to 24% before they emptied again. The graph is showing 2.8 kWh for both days. Does that seems right?

On another note, has anyone notices the bugs in the GUI. If I enable I button, it lights up, but when you go back to the page it is no longer highlighted. The same goes for setting a time period. I have set a Charge First Start Time 1 and Charge First End Time 1 in Charge Priority and either they didn't stick or I have no idea what the setting is now. I also noticed that not all the icons at the top of the page click as they should.

On a PC you need to click 'read' then all those options populate and you can change them.
if your using the app on a phone it auto reads

Wether that seems right or not depends on the specifics of your system, array, etc... I have the 6000XP and the lux monitoring portal and the EG4 look to be clones. If yours is the same as the EG4 portal, then the energy overview section has the "Import to User" data, which reflects the amount of energy drawn from the grid. "Consumption" shows the total power delivered to your loads. Subtracting the 2 should give you the total power that did not come from the grid.
