AI was not much use to me this week when one of the charge controllers on our off-grid energy system melted down - I knew how to fix the issue, and the system itself is so unique that no amount of AI summaries could really add consequential input and sadly I had no robotics to help clean up battery terminals, rewise machines and route cables.

It did give me a chance to play with some very nice software - all be it, limited by poor bluetooth range - on the Victron charge controller I swapped in, now we see great historical data about input, output and historical high and low voltage points.
