I wonder if <20W is at the limit of the system measurement. If it's all working ok I wouldn't worry. Solar Assistant doesn't have flashy animations 🙂

Do you mean the flow animation stops? It's not something I've noticed, but our load almost never gets that low and I rarely look at the displays anyway.

A major fire broke out at Moss Landing, Vistra Energy's massive battery storage facility, which is said to be the largest in the world. Huge flames and thick plumes of hazardous black smoke reportedly poured from the plant, prompting evacuations in the surrounding area. The blaze was first reported around 3 p.m. local time at the site, located just off Highway 1 along California's Central Coast. Monterey County officials swiftly issued evacuation orders as the inferno raged unchecked into the evening hours. Nearby residents were also advised to shelter in place and seal windows and doors to avoid exposure to potentially toxic fumes, according to Mercury News.

A fairly recent thread on the subject:-

Yeah ^^^, the pink ID is a must now, our local SS office also required a bank account that was registered using the pink ID number in order for me to pay by direct debit. The ladies at our SS office were incredibly helpful although I did have the assistance of a Thai speaker. I also got a refund of the $$$ paid in over the years as I couldn't get the Thai pension payment, 200k THB was a welcome bonus.

Yeah, a bit marginal for a 15/45, although diversity would play a big part in reducing the actual loading. It would of course be much better than your current 5/15.
-
Ah, understood, a 5/15 is probably going to be a bit unhappy if you have lots of energy-sucking electric cooking devices. Try asking if they could give you a 15/45 in the meantime, otherwise let sleeping dogs lie. Did you or your sparks do a prospective load estimate? You may actually be ok on the smaller (15/45) meter.
-
Is your current meter a 5/15 or a 15/45? I assume you are asking for a 30/100 which PEA may be reluctant to provide if you're outside the major conurbations. What is your reason for requesting an upgrade? What's your estimated maximum load? Most of us are happily running on 15/45 meters with 63A main breakers. Meters are actually incredibly robust; a 100% overload (so 100A on a 15/45) won't kill it (but may cause inaccurate readings). I'm aware of places on 5/15 meters with a regular "farang" home on the other end (with a 63A breaker) meter is just fine. PEA are generally upgrading everyone to electronic meters so they may well not have any 30/100 conventional meters and the electronic ones, which are "universal" are in short supply. Generally, I would do nothing. You have informed PEA just leave it be. Note, if you are having supply issues (brown outs, low voltage etc.) changing the meter is unlikely to help.

A woman brings eight-year-old Johnny home and tells his mother that he was caught playing doctors and nurses with Mary, her eight-year-old daughter. Johnny's mother says, "Let's not be too harsh on them.... they are bound to be curious about sex at that age." "Curious about sex?" replies Mary's mother. "He's taken her appendix out!" - Jimmy Carr

You may score with a specialist electrical store who will be able to order one for you. This is our local place, very conveniently located next to the bottle shop

There are a number of ways of wiring 2-way (3-way to our friends across the pond) light switches. All need two 2-way (single-pole double throw) switches. Here's a more conventional representation. As noted earlier @proton do you still have the old switches? If so trot down to your local electrical supplier and get a replacement module for the faulty one. Photos of the switch at the other end of the 2-way arrangement would be useful. Also, just to be sure, can you take a photo of the back of one of your new switches, they usually have a representation of the internal wiring.
-
I suspect that you have actually got two single-pole one-way (on-off) switches, whereas, as noted above, you need at least one of them to be two-way. If you still have the original switches, take the faulty one to your local electrical outlet and try to source a replacement.
-
Did he replace both switches or just the faulty one?

I think it's Boris Johnson.

In my defence we had just climbed out of a dark, dirty, noisy, wet hole in the ground, which, despite being right next to the pyramids, was definitely not a tomb for a Pharo or anyone else, ok maybe some rats. The traffic is crazy, driving is just mad with pedestrians crossing 6 lane highways! Total anarchy!
