Versions

What's new in SolDial — a running log of improvements and fixes, newest first.

Version labels like 1.0 (Build 8) track the app build you install from the store. The v1, v2… count is our day-to-day progress between builds — so you can see what we shipped even when the build number hasn't changed.

1.0 (Build 11) Apple · 1.0 (Build 14) Android v5 June 28, 2026

Automate on your car’s charge level. A new automation trigger fires when one of your cars reaches a charge level you set — whether it’s charging up to it or running down to it. Perfect for “let me know when my car hits 80%” or “tell me when it drops to 20%.” You can build it from the picker or just type it in plain English.
See your EV charging on the Energy Chart. Car charging now appears as its own Car band stacked on top of home use, so a big overnight grid draw reads clearly as your car instead of unexplained import. It shows whenever you charge through a Tesla Wall Connector, and adds up across multiple cars.
Weather alerts, only once. A multi-day weather alert (like an Extreme Heat Watch) now notifies you a single time for its whole active period, instead of repeating every few hours.
No more false low-solar alarms. The “solar production looks low” alert now cross-checks your live production before sending, so it won’t fire on a perfectly normal day.
Larger text size fits the screen. At the Larger accessibility text size, the notifications panel and the bottom tab labels no longer get cut off, and the Current State rows no longer overlap the status label with the kW value.
Quieter car status. The little status label under each car now appears only when there’s actually something to do (like finishing setup) — instead of always showing “Real-time” or “Reconnecting.”
Energy Autopilot and Suggestions are now labeled Beta. These AI features are live and improving — if something looks off, you can report it right from Account → Help.
Delete an Autopilot rule and it stays gone. Autopilot no longer recreates an automation you’ve removed on purpose.
Smarter suggestions on 1:1 net metering. On a flat 1:1 plan, SolDial now recommends keeping your Powerwall full for backup rather than a low reserve — since the grid already banks your solar one-for-one.
A clear screen when there’s no energy system yet. If your Tesla account doesn’t have a Powerwall or solar system connected, SolDial now says so plainly instead of showing sample data.
More reliable account deletion. Deleting your account now completes cleanly and sends you to Tesla to remove SolDial, even on a slow connection.

1.0 (Build 11) Apple · 1.0 (Build 14) Android v4 June 18, 2026

Tell SolDial what matters most. A new Energy Goals section in Settings lets you choose what your system optimizes for — saving money, energy independence, backup readiness, or a balance — set a minimum backup reserve you never want to drop below, and flag extras like battery longevity or keeping an EV ready. Energy Autopilot and Suggestions build every recommendation around your choice.
See your system during an outage. When the grid goes down, Power Flow now marks the grid with a red × and 0 kW, and the Powerwall shows your live hours of backup remaining at your current usage, so you know how long you can ride it out.
Combined grid numbers for a linked array. If you’ve linked a second array (like a barn roof) into your main system, your grid export and home totals now include that array’s share instead of under-counting it.
Critical Peak Pricing. If your utility runs Critical Peak Pricing event days, you can now enter the critical-peak rate and flag an event day so your savings and automations price those hours correctly. Rate setup also warns you if your custom time-of-use windows leave a gap or overlap.
Clearer connection status. The live status word now reads WiFi, Cloud, Degraded, or Offline — “Offline” meaning SolDial isn’t receiving data, clearer than the old “Outage” that could be mistaken for a power outage.
Automation history shows what changed. Tap any entry in your Automation history to see exactly what it moved — for example “Backup reserve: 20% to 100%.” Rules you fire yourself with Run now are tagged Manual test, so a manual test is never confused with an automatic action.
The time filter shows your time zone. The Choose Time Filter control now reflects your system’s local time zone instead of always showing Eastern.
Smoother onboarding. Pick your text size right on the welcome screen, with each step fit to one screen (no scrolling or cut-off), consistent buttons, and a step to set your Energy Goals.

1.0 (Build 10) Apple · 1.0 (Build 14) Android v3 June 13, 2026

Home-screen widgets are now on iPhone. Put SolDial right on your Home Screen. A wide Energy Glance shows your Powerwall charge, today’s solar vs. expected, money saved, self-powered %, and net grid at a glance — and smaller single-stat widgets (Powerwall charge, Solar, Savings, Self-Powered and Net Grid) each carry a 14-day trend line that shifts green, blue or red as that number improves, holds steady or slips. (Android has had widgets since Build 13.)

1.0 (Build 9) Apple · 1.0 (Build 13) Android v2 June 12, 2026

More than one Tesla system? SolDial now handles them as a set. Switch between your systems from the top of the dashboard, rename them so they’re not cryptic Tesla labels, and show or hide the ones you don’t want cluttering the view.
Combine a linked solar array. If a second array feeds into your main system — say a separate barn or shop roof backing through your Powerwall’s panel — you can link them, and your production, home use, and Power Flow then reflect the combined system, closing a gap where Tesla doesn’t credit the feeder’s output to your main meter.
Automations that understand multiple systems. Energy Autopilot and Suggestions now size solar strategies to your combined production and only act on the system that actually holds the Powerwalls — a generation-only array has nothing to control.
Hold to read the Energy Chart on Android. Press and hold to see exact values at any moment, drag to scrub across the day, and tap away to dismiss — the way it already worked on iPhone (it had been vanishing after a second).
Today’s Solar Pace stays to-the-minute and now lines up with the Energy Chart instead of lagging behind it.
Settings save as you go. Onboarding and Settings now save each field as you enter it, so you won’t lose a change by moving on — Save is still there to catch anything required.
Automation alerts read correctly when they fire. A weather or Powerwall alert now fills in the right day and your live backup hours at send time, instead of freezing whatever was true when the rule was created.
Enter sub-dollar rates correctly. A rate like “.0827” per kWh no longer drops its leading part.
Faster Powerwall reserve and vitals — refreshing about every 5 seconds instead of every 30, so changes show almost immediately.
Tap the live status to learn what it means. The LAN / Cloud / Degraded / Outage word on the dial now opens a plain-language explainer — including that “Outage” means a data gap, not a power outage.
Clearer setup without a Backup Gateway. A system that doesn’t have a Tesla Backup Gateway now gets a plain “cloud data only” message instead of a failing retry loop.
Cleaner rate plan list — when a utility lists the same plan under several near-identical names, SolDial shows it once.

1.0 (Build 9) Apple · 1.0 (Build 13) Android v1 June 11, 2026

Home-screen widgets — Android. A new “Energy Glance” widget shows your Powerwall charge ring with today’s solar-vs-expected pace, savings, self-powered %, and net grid — over a faint Powerwall silhouette. Or pick from five 1×1 minis: Powerwall ring, solar pace, saved, self-powered, and net grid. (iPhone widgets coming soon.)
“Today” chart no longer loads blank. Fixed the Energy Chart sometimes coming up empty for Today after the app sat in the background (e.g. overnight) — it now re-pins the window and refetches the moment you reopen.
A full Powerwall no longer clips the chart. The battery and reserve lines have room at the top, so a 100% Powerwall sits cleanly inside the Energy Chart instead of touching the edge.
More accurate weather. SolDial never shows the forecast high as the current temperature anymore — the current reading and the day’s High/Low are separate. The dial’s weather readout was also rebalanced for legibility.
Weather stays in sync across your devices — and updates sooner. Conditions (and the matching background photo) now come from one shared source, so your phones agree, and they refresh about 3× more often.
Storm Watch reads correctly and reacts fast. Fixed it sometimes showing “disabled” when it was actually on, and changes now reflect within about 5 seconds.
Wall Connector stays visible off-network. Your Wall Connector keeps its last-known details when you leave your home network, instead of dropping to a reduced view.
Set your default chart range. Choose the time range your charts open to — Today, billing cycle, and more — saved to your account.
Fewer false “Outage” flags. The live indicator no longer briefly flips to “Outage” right after you reopen the app or toggle Wi-Fi — only a real, sustained loss of data triggers it.
A clear prompt if your Tesla session expires. Instead of quietly stopping, SolDial now shows a reconnect banner and sends a notification, so you can reconnect in one tap.

1.0 (Build 9) Apple · 1.0 (Build 12) Android v2 June 10, 2026

Faster, local Power Flow. On your home Wi-Fi with a paired Powerwall, the dial now reads straight from your Powerwall Gateway over your local network and refreshes every few seconds — no more waiting on Tesla’s cloud to catch up. SolDial falls back to the cloud automatically when you’re away or off your network.
See where your live data comes from. The live status now leads with its source — LAN when reading from your local network, CLOUD when it’s coming from Tesla, or OUTAGE when live data isn’t reaching the app from either source.
Power Flow knows when your car is charging away. If you’re charging at work or a Supercharger, SolDial no longer draws the charging line back to your house — it recognizes the car isn’t home.
Pick your text size. A Smaller / Default / Larger control in Settings scales the whole app, and it’s now solid on both iPhone and Android — no clipped screens, hidden cards, or misplaced popups at larger sizes.
Smoother section reordering. Dragging a Dashboard, Devices, or Cars section over an expanded one no longer flickers.
Cleaner load with the photo hidden. If you’ve turned off the dial’s time-of-day photo, the app now opens straight to the plain background instead of briefly flashing the photo first.
Full “Last Synced” times. Powerwall, Solar String, and Wall Connector all show the full date and time they were last synced.
No more repeat weather alerts. Weather-based automations now notify you at most once a day instead of occasionally repeating.
Lighter on data. SolDial no longer re-downloads the same energy history several times when multiple cards need it, trimming background data use.

1.0 (Build 9) Apple · 1.0 (Build 12) Android v1 June 9, 2026

Personalize your Dashboard and Cars. Collapse and reorder sections — and cars — by dragging the handle or tapping it to move them; Power Flow stays pinned at the top. Your layout saves to your account and follows you across iPhone and Android.
Your car’s software version. Each car shows its current Tesla software version and flags whether it’s the newest across the SolDial fleet.
Standalone inverters stick around. If part of your solar runs through a non-Tesla “string” inverter, its production keeps showing in Solar String Detail even when it isn’t generating right now.
Wall Connectors. Your Tesla Wall Connector(s) now appear in the new Devices tab — live charging power, unit and handle temperatures, grid voltage and frequency, firmware version, and lifetime energy delivered. Tap the connector to recolor it to match yours, tap the eye to reveal its serial, and see which car is plugged in.
Both connectors, even when they share power. If you have two Wall Connectors sharing a circuit, the second one — which Tesla keeps off your home network — still shows up with its live charging status.
Wall Connector firmware status. Each connector shows whether it’s on the current firmware or an update is available.
Devices tab. The Powerwall tab is now “Devices.” Collapse its sections and drag (or tap) the handle to reorder them — and SolDial remembers your layout next time you open it.
Bigger, more readable text across the whole app — dashboard, charts, navigation and settings.
Redesigned rate setup. Enter your ZIP first, then pick your utility and plan — your rates fill in for you. Seasonal time-of-use windows now show their date range (e.g. 6/1 – 9/30).
Correct subscription store. Your plan now correctly shows whether it's billed through the App Store or Google Play, with cleaner handling when you subscribed on another device.
Solar Pace polish. Today's headline number shows its kWh unit cleanly, and the Powerwall "Cont. Max Output" label no longer gets cut off.
Plain-language errors. When something goes wrong, you'll see a clear message instead of a raw technical one.
Smarter automations. Energy Autopilot and Suggestions now only plan actions for vehicles they can actually control.
In-app messages. We can now reach you with updates inside the app, and you can mark them as read.
This page. Added soldial.com/versions so you can follow what's new.
Correct sunrise and sunset times. Fixed a case where the dial and Weather panel could show the wrong time — including ZIP codes that were resolving to the wrong location entirely.
ZIP check in System Info. Entering a ZIP that isn't a valid US ZIP is now caught right away with a clear message, instead of quietly saving the wrong location.
Clearer setup for an unpaired car. A Tesla that still needs its key paired now shows a "Finish pairing this car" prompt instead of a confusing 0% charge.
Better car names. Vehicles show their model (e.g. "Model Y," "Model 3") when a custom name isn't available from your Tesla account, instead of a generic "Tesla."
More accurate solar estimates. Your forecast re-checks its accuracy against your current system details, with a new "Recalibrate" button in Settings → System Info if you change your panels.
Hide the dashboard photo. Tap the eye icon on the dial to fade the time-of-day photo away for a clean, plain background — and tap again to bring it back.
Tidier Powerwall cards. Each Powerwall's serial number now sits neatly under its name.
Android Powerwall pairing. Pairing now reliably finds your Powerwall Gateway during setup on Android.
Reliable live updates for new cars. Fixed a case where a newly added Tesla could get stuck and never show live updates even when it was fully connected. SolDial now keeps retrying on its own, and if a car still needs a nudge it shows a quick one-step restart.
Powerwall degradation matches your warranty. Each Powerwall’s degradation is now measured against its 13.5 kWh rated capacity — the same figure your Tesla warranty is based on — so it lines up with what you’d check against your warranty.

1.0 (Build 8) v1 June 8, 2026

Complete energy history. Your charts now fill in from your system's install date and automatically heal gaps left by power outages.
More reliable Tesla sign-in. Fixed a case where sign-in could hang on the Tesla page.
Smoother scrolling throughout onboarding and settings on both iOS and Android.
Clearer Powerwall setup. Pairing shows a steady "building device info" countdown, and your Powerwall model is detected automatically.
Subscription management fixes. Manage and cancel links always point to the correct store, and founders pricing reflects your store's eligible intro offer.
Share your feedback. Added an in-app survey so you can help shape what we build next.
Account deletion is now fully in-app, with a goodbye page and a quick exit survey.
Updated Xcel Colorado time-of-use plan to the current 2026 schedule.
