That knob looks like an old school car cigarette lighter.Rosie with the MNGP2 attached. It can also mount to a wall, nearby or the other side of the house...regular Cat5/6 ethernet/LAN cable.
How do you set the TOU settings? It is still not in the manual, or changelog that I can find. I'm want to purchase one, but I need this to work. ThanksI asked the guys about this and evidently does support time of use.

@SpongeboB SinewaveWhat was the forum thread for this ? I am trying to find this answer out and I do not know the answer. I am asking Ryan and support but I would like the answer to be posted, whether it can be done or not in the forum. But I am asking the question to the ones that would know better than I would know.
I appreciate this question !
Oh ! Maybe the thread is titled:
Has anybody used the Rosie inverter yet for prime time?
@SpongeboB Sinewave
That title is correct. It is listed on a couple websites that Rosie is being sold that it does have TOU, but I haven't seen it stated anywhere else. The Midnite website doesn't even mention it.
This is why I'm asking. I want to use her for peak shifting and for ESS, so it's important for me that she has it.
I'm sure she will eventually if not right now. If she does now, I'm a buyer.
Any word on release of the comm box?
Here is what I hear from one of our guys....
it's in INVERTER CONFIG / AC INPUT CONTROL
LOAD XFER
INV XFER
time on/off
does it work?? maybe
not tested here
It actually has a button that says voice.That knob looks like an old school car cigarette lighter.
@SpongeboB Sinewave
boB, are there anymore beta tester spots left? ? I'd be more than happy to do some testing for the team..
Does anyone know how many units can be paralleled? I can't find the answer anywhere other than that they can be paralleled.
Awesome, thank you for confirming. I have been meaning to get in touch with Ryan to ask him but I understand he can be quite busy these days!At least 2. We have not tried more yet.
Haven't gotten the go ahead from the head honcho. Making sure everything else works correctly first.

for this inverter to cover all the homes loads I’d assume all the loads would have to be moved from the main panel to a subpanel, is that correct? what are they meaning in this case when they say grid support LBX HBX?1. Will the Rosie have any kind of Grid Interaction like load shaving or similar to the Schneider Conext SW & XW's AC Support Mode? Will the Rosie have any kind of grid connection pass thru for loads?
- MN ... Yes the Rosie has grid support, LBX and HBX mode already as well as road maps for peak shaving etc
So this inverter will shutoff if loads exceed the inverters max output?We don't think that someone passing through their whole house with only a 7kW inverter only to find that the inverter shuts off.
Inverter rated 7kW, but has 120/240V input & output, L1 & L2, 60A.
I believe the Rosie only has 1 AC input.
No, I misread the first post above. My mistake. You never said it had 2 separate (split phase) AC inputs, I just hadn't had enough coffee yet this morning. At least that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!Do you mean 1 phase of AC input?
From every thing I read here it still seems like the grid and inverter cannot supply the load simultaneously. Pass through yes but not at the same time as the inverter is supplying the load. This is unfortunate (this sucks) because the inverter at 7kw could supply all of a homes loads almost all the time. Rarely do most homes have constant loads above 7kw. But when the loads exceed 7kw, inverters should continue to supply their max output and the grid should supply the excess power above 7kw that’s needed. I mean my cheap $300 inverters do that. And it’s nuts having to move all the loads to a separate panel.. makes things complicated and costly.I think it can pass through twice that amount.
Inverter rated 7kW, but has 120/240V input & output, L1 & L2, 60A.
That would appear to support 14.4kW pass-through.
It says 60A max breaker. If those were thermal/magnetic, use up to 80% continuous, 48W. But the CBI magnetic-hydraulic breakers Midnight sells can operate 100% continuous.
Of course, if grid input isn't present, inverter can't sustain more than 7kW indefinitely. Some overload or a limited time.
"• Grid Support – Rosie uses grid AC for loads based on SOC % or Battery Voltage. o SOC%:
▪ Low SOC % - Rosie uses AC IN (grid) to charge batts and run loads.
▪ High SOC % - Rosie disables AC IN and uses batt bank to run loads. o Battery Voltage:
▪ LBX – Set to low Batt V setpoint. If Batt V drops below the LBX threshold for 1 minute and if the grid is valid, connect to the grid. If the charger is enabled, it will charge, if not set to charge but in grid mode, standby. If the voltage pops above the threshold before the grid becomes valid, LBX will be reset and will not connect to grid.
▪ HBX – Set to high Batt V setpoint. If the voltage goes above HBX threshold for 1 minute and if connected, then Rosie disconnects from grid. "
