Live Dashboard

The Live Dashboard is Grid Getter’s main screen — a real-time view of your entire Tesla energy system. It shows where your power is coming from, where it’s going, how your battery is doing, and what your automations are up to.

To get there: click Dashboard in the top navigation, or visit app.gridgetter.com/live.

Data updates every 60 seconds.

Power Flow

The first thing you see is the power flow diagram — a live visualization of electricity moving between your solar panels, battery, home, and the grid.

What each element shows:

Solar (sun icon): Current solar production in kW
Battery (battery icon): Current state of charge (%), charge rate, and whether it’s charging or discharging
Grid (power lines icon): Current grid import (drawing from grid) or export (sending to grid)
Home (house icon): Your home’s total power consumption in kW

The animated lines between elements show the direction power is flowing. Power flows from where it’s produced (solar, battery, grid) toward where it’s consumed (home, grid export).

Automation Timeline

The automation timeline shows which automations are scheduled for today and when they’re set to run. This gives you a quick at-a-glance view of what Grid Getter will do throughout the day.

If you haven’t created any automations yet, this section shows a prompt to create your first one.

Energy Charts

Scroll down to see historical charts of your energy data — solar production, grid import/export, battery charge/discharge, and home consumption over time.

Switch between time ranges using the tabs above the chart:

5-minute intervals (last 7 days)
Hourly (last 30 days)
Daily (last 90 days)
Monthly (last 12 months)

See Energy Charts for more detail.

Battery

The battery section shows detailed information about your Powerwall:

State of charge: Current battery percentage
Reserve setting: The minimum percentage your battery is set to keep
Charge/discharge rate: How fast the battery is currently charging or discharging (kW)
Reserve controls: If you’re on Premium or DemandGuard, you can adjust the battery reserve directly from this panel without going to Settings

Weather Forecast

The weather section shows current conditions and an hourly forecast for your site’s location, pulled from the National Weather Service every 30 minutes.

What you’ll see:

Location badge: Shows the city and state (e.g. “Phoenix, AZ”) for your weather data, derived from the NWS API. Falls back to coordinates if location details aren’t available.
Current conditions: Temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and recent precipitation
Temperature trend chart: A compact visual chart showing the temperature curve and precipitation probability for the next 12 hours — a quick “shape of the day” glance
Hourly forecast: A scrollable timeline of the next 12 hours with temperature, weather icon, and precipitation probability
Solar impact callout: A contextual message based on current cloud cover and precipitation that tells you how weather is likely to affect your solar production (e.g. “Clear skies — ideal for solar production” or “Heavy cloud cover may significantly reduce solar production”)

If data is older than 45 minutes, a “Stale” badge appears to let you know the reading may be outdated.

Setting your location: If you’re a paid subscriber and haven’t set a location yet, a banner appears in the weather section with a quick “Use My Location” button that grabs your browser’s position, or a link to set it manually in Settings.

DemandGuard Status

If you have an active DemandGuard automation, this section appears on the dashboard and shows:

Whether DemandGuard is currently monitoring (active demand period) or waiting (outside peak window)
Your configured target demand threshold
Your current grid draw
Whether DemandGuard has taken action recently

During an active demand period, the panel updates in real time to show how close you are to your threshold.

Next Demand Period

This section shows a countdown to your next configured demand period — when DemandGuard will start monitoring. It helps you see at a glance how much time you have before a peak window begins.

Storm Watch Status

The Storm Watch section shows whether Tesla’s Storm Watch feature is currently active. When Storm Watch is on, your battery charges to 100% and holds a high reserve to prepare for severe weather.

The Live Dashboard is a long scrollable page with multiple sections. The sticky navigation bar at the top of the page lets you jump directly to any section:

Power Flow
Automations
Energy Charts
Battery
Weather
Stormwatch
DemandGuard (if active)
Next Demand

Data refresh rate

Dashboard data refreshes automatically every 60 seconds. This reflects the rate at which Tesla’s API provides live data — it’s not a Grid Getter limitation.

If you need more frequent updates during a demand period, DemandGuard can check more often using the Queries Per Minute setting in your DemandGuard automation.

If your Tesla is disconnected, a banner appears at the top of the dashboard with a Reconnect button. Most dashboard data will show dashes (—) until the connection is restored. See Integrations for reconnection instructions.
