Changed
Solar forecast - The clear-sky comparison card is temporarily removed; the main forecast view is unchanged, and the comparison may return in a future update.
Today’s day totals (Fox inverters) - The server now uses your inverter’s month report to derive today’s figures, so daily totals for the current day are more accurate and consistent.
Dashboard - Smoother day and range handling, clearer date field formatting, and day navigation that’s easier to see and use.
Device details - Simpler layout with less noise when you open a device.
Charts - Wording for solar-at-home and self-consumption stats is easier to read at a glance.
Dashboard & device views - Day view, improved date navigation (including yesterday), loading skeletons, smoother charts and scrolling, and a more stable device tab (less flicker).
Energy flow - Clearer power source status (solar, battery, grid, import) and updated wording (“Importing from grid” instead of older labels).
App icon notification badge clears when you open the app, so the count does not linger after you have caught up.
Automatic app updates for new versions are now available for iOS devices running version 3.0.0 or later.
Refreshed Live Activity design for clearer, more readable energy stats on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
Dynamic Island (expanded) now includes battery power details for quicker at-a-glance status.
