Title: Curious how this number is generated?

Hey all,

Just curious how the lifetime kilowatt hours value is generated? I am an idiot but I thinking the decimal placement is off by a lot. LOL

It's been seen before.

Not sure what the solution was. Most likely a firmware update. What version Firmware are you running?

Looks like the bug is still there.

I remember that there used to be a bug with the data size for this value.  It was (I thought) fixed BUT if
the data was not cleared when the update that fixed it was done, it may be that the value would
still be maxed out.

My question is, is this the first time you have seen this large number in the lifetime kW-Hours or
was it looking correct say, last week and all of a sudden went up high ?  Does this number
increment every day or does it stay at this kW-Hour number ?

Maybe we should dial the number,  429-006-0194  and see who answers ?
