Known issues and outages affecting the Amber for Batteries automation

Follow

This page outlines current and past outages and issues with optimisation between SmartShift automation and our integrated device brands. These outages can cause temporary data loss in the Amber app, issues with commands or controls either not appearing or failing, and curtailment not working as expected. Our team will send a notification to the app to alert you of any fleet wide incidents. 

If your commands, controls or curtailment are not functioning as expected when there are no live issues reported, ensure your system firmware is up to date and your wifi connection is stable.
