What’s new for Ensemble ITK users only

Provisioning improvements

• You can now switch to a correct Ensemble certified grid profile while scanning Enpower — no need to go back to Step-1. Please note, Ensemble certified grid profile selection is only available for systems with an Enpower. 

• You can no longer provide a system without Bluetooth permissions set and turned on.

• If the number of scanned devices does not match the device count, we’ll let you know which ones are missing and give you the option to add more devices.

• If the Envoy is not connected to Wi-Fi or has a poor connection, you will be reminded to check the cell modem connection before leaving the site after provisioning.

What’s fixed

• The correct Enphase support phone number is now shown for French Toolkit users.

• Envoy updates are no longer stalled from insufficient file size or system timeout.

• For Android users, you can now enable meters while connected to Envoy via Wi-Fi.

Features now available for all Toolkit App-users

• As a certified installer, you will now be able to:

  • Retire microinverters, AC batteries, and Q-Relays from a site in stage greater than 3 (A commissioned system)

  • Restore retired microinverters on the site

          

• There are also Envoy improvements in this release – Installers can now go to support to search for a site based on the Envoy ID. The user will be redirected to the Envoy connectivity screen for that particular site. If the user does not have access to the site, they will be prompted to request system access either via an installer or homeowner account.
   

•       
   

     

     
   

Features available to Ensemble users 

• As a certified Installer, you will now be able to see the details of tariff settings, storage configuration, and status of Ensemble software upgrades on the main site status screen.
   

  
   

• Users can now change the Envoy associated with a non-provisioned Encharge/Enpower device in a multiple-Envoy site without removing the devices.
   

  
   

• Installer Toolkit now restricts users from installing Ensemble devices on a 208V single phase retrofit site.
   

  
   

• Installers can now select loads using icons during the load control configuration. The installer toolkit will provide a predefined list of appropriate icons for selection.

  
     
   

• The meter wizard now informs the installers if the consumption CTs are not placed on the grid side of Enpower as required for the storage system to operate properly.

• When Ensemble devices are stalled in the ‘Discovered’ state during provisioning, the Installer Toolkit will retry sending the link keys to devices over BLE three times for successful provisioning.

• For a partial-backup system, consumption CT will no longer ask the user to confirm if the meter reading is similar to the utility meter.

• For a grid-tied system, the maximum number of Encharges units allowed has been set to 39.
  
  Also Note: The toolkit now supports the commissioning of PV systems in Italy. The app will download the new 5.0.X firmware for users in Italy and will recommend users update the firmware before provisioning the devices.
