That's an awesome panel. Definitly want that on our next place.
hi Zach
Keep us posted! We'd love to help out.
ello!
Yeah, same!
Wait you guys are getting a new house
I want them to build a new home and move just for new construction videos again. I loved those!
They can just build me a house and I'll show them what's inside haha. Moving is building is a pain though.
Are the panels server reliant? Or in other words if span’s servers went down rather just from age or because their power went out, would you still be able to control the panels?
Ideally you want it to produce its own local server that you can connect to locally that way it’s never interruptible.
asking the important questions!
At this time, SPAN requires a working internet connection in order to interface with Panel. We are always evaluating new platforms and hope to offer an API for local control in the future, however, there is no set timeline for when or if this will become public. In the event that an internet connection is lost or unavailable, the SPAN Panel would continue to operate as a standard electrical panel built to comply with the safety standards of the National Electric Code.
@@PerfectPrinceX1 im guessing it would just become like any other panel except you paid 5k for it
This technology doesn't seem to be very complex and hard to make but someone first had to come up with this idea. Good job.
For me this shows that innovations do not have to be taken straight from sci-fi movie but can be relatively simple. As long as you have an idea, will and means to realize it, you can call yourself an inventor.
Can we have Leslie do a Christmas decor home tour?
nice idea
Yes
What’s Inside Christmas 2K22. And make it a series every year
You should say what's inside chrismas house decoration
@@Jewraser decor and decorations the same thing 😂
Really crazy to see how the neighborhood has filled out now. Hope yall are well out there
Does it have Local connection (host own server inside the panel) or its Cloud based connection?
Today, SPAN does not have an open API for local control. Our users’ privacy and security is of the utmost importance. All communication pathways between devices connected to your SPAN panel and between the SPAN panel and the cloud are encrypted using industry-standard security protocol including TLS 1.2 and AES-256.
Y'all living my dream, thanks for showing us all the details!
The BEST thing about Span panels is the lack of a critical load panel. You get to decide what you want to power, then change to something else when you don't want that running. Example, you could have power to your kitchen so you could make dinner, change to your laundry area to run a load of wash, then switch to power in a bedroom or living room after turning off the power to the laundry area. That means that your backup power device may not have to supply as much power. It's dynamic!
As an electrician and homeowner I love the idea of seeing real-time data and power consumption per breaker/circuit. As far as in-app control I don’t see a use case for that unless you’re on a battery backup system like in the video and need to be able to load manage on the fly. It’s a very niche product but really cool!
I bet you have a home generator hooked up to your electric breaker . I always wanted that because we used to
have the power go out often. now we have a stand alone power generator hooked up to the transfer switch.
What do you think about EMP is that safe to put on your breaker switch . So it doesn't affect our breaker if
it get hit by EMP .
@@debbiec6216 you mean a surge protector?
Ive been waiting for smart panels to come out this is amazing, I hope they are easy to fix though and dont have problems in 10-30 years
I hope these communicate locally. It'd be funny if they talked cloud based, but when the power goes out there's usually no internet lol.
They don't, they need internet to work.
Even if they have some kind of cell connection so you don't lose connectivity, maybe it's best if my entire home's power control doesn't go outside my home unless I need it to. Also, imagine if Span as a company shuts down. What happens then? Does your expensive circuit breaker just stop working?
There is a local rest API in the works.
This is really interesting. Smart panels is a great idea it makes sense especially for a new modern home like yours.
Love it! Curious how long it takes to fill the batteries/how long you can run the house and keep recharging the battery packs daily?
Recently started making my building smart, amazing how many data points you have now. Saving money already !
is there an app alert when there is any smart panel problems?
..like the cooling fans on the bottom of the panel going out?
I love the must have and want for the power outages
Morning Dan, love your content jus need more often and much longer videos...
What is the control 4 integration features for the span panel?
Man, it would be great to have one of those in our home. I know I couldn't afford it though. I'll have to live through you guys for now! Great video!!
This is really cool!
Cool system really curious to see how these develop over the next decade or so
I definitely love this and would love to upgrade. My concern is having a panel that breaks electrically. It’s another point of failure that I have concern about reliability. Dumb panels are very simple behind the breaker.
Does this calculate alongside with the solar panel’s too? So it’s showing battery left, but also solar power inserting power?
It sure does! Complete solar & storage monitoring right from the home app-- Check out the video around the 6:30 mark for a view of the home screen that also shows the solar energy that Dan is generating which is helping power his home.
I'm totally loving these panels. I want to get them when they support my enpahse batteries.
Its a shame there isn't bidirection charging as you've got 5x more capacity in each tesla than your powerwalls. You could even drive over to a supercharger to charge it and drive it back to use at home.
Sending it to the studio at first was a smart idea. Nice and easy to keep warm or cool. But this new smart panel is way better.
That is a must have for whatever system you are using 👏👏👏
I remember seeing all the new smart panels at the IBS convention. Crazy stuff
Nice to see Lincon all grown up with a job now.
Does it spec out to have the square D breakers inside of them or could they have used the cutler hammer ones from your old panels
SPAN is compatible with most major breakers types and brands including 1-inch breakers including Eaton, Siemens, and Square D.
The panels look awesome! But I'm still waiting to see what's inside the statue
Nice video. Post more often please. You're an OG
Nice video! How big is your service? 400 amp?
How is the data kept private and secured? Is it stored on-device or sent to a server somewhere? Why didn’t the electricians do the labeling? They pulled the cables, it would make sense the labeling was done there and then…
this is so cool
I like the OG what’s inside.
At 1:49 he said do not try this at home but we can try in at our friends house right 😂😂😂
Can we get a vid on how y’all do your Christmas decorating? ( also on how you got your tree to look that good! )
How does it compare to the Leviton Smart Load Center?
I was looking at the span panels but my understanding is that you link a powerwall (or powerwalls) to that individual panel and they don’t work together (say Panel A doesn’t need much but Panel B is draining it’s powerwall. Panel B can’t take the power from Panel A’s powerwall)
Also, I believe they said the app shows each panel as it’s own island and they can’t link together yet, is that still the case?
I love how Dan is tech guy!
I love tech myself!
Nut does it work with Home Assistant? and if it doesn't, does it have an API so it can work with Home Assistant in the future?
It s true dan you got smart house
I agree on the tree stuff BUT, it makes Leslie super happy so i allow it :)
I have to say your house looks awesome!
Hey man i am building a new house and i am interested in ur tesla +span set up , what might be an aprox cost for the project , my house will be 1/2 in scale
Is the service box already integrated with GFCI and EMP protection?
Really cool and smart 🧠
This is pretty cool.
Looks good. We have now smart software you can see the same as in Span and still have the same breakers. Mmm a big change wat you can do here in Europe with software.
Great videos and thanks for sharing. Would like to see Span integrate with more backup power options, such as Kohler Generators. I was unable to install solar due to not enough unobscured south facing roof space, so went with a Kohler Generator that has load shedding features to provide full home coverage in the event of long term outage during hurricanes and floods (Houston, TX here). I met with span prior to the install and they said they didn’t have any plans to do so. That’s disappointing, there’s a big opportunity to make an impact on a very large generator market.
SPAN is compatible with all AC-coupled battery storage solutions and generators! Major generator brands that we are compatible with include: Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Honeywell, and more 👍
Very cool tech love it
This guy is not running a Home, he's running an Enterprise, Props to him for adapting this and to the SPAN Team for their knowledge and Patience to build this.
Hey SPAN... Let me know if you need another tester... Really cool that it can integrate with your power walls and everything.
We absolutely will do 👍
Hi
@@span_io - I'm one of your biggest fans. I'm loving my Span panel. It helped me figure out that the consumption reader(?) for my upgraded Enphase microinverters had a problem.
@@span_io do you have people who do this in Hawaii? I’m interested.
I really... really want these!
This all looks very nice, but for this to work, you need separate wiring for each wall socket to a circuit breaker, right? Normally you have multiple wall sockets and ceiling lights behind 1 circuit breaker. Or am i missing something in the video?
what are those bigger gray panels next to the electrical panels?
Lighting controls with our control 4 system
i want it but the price is too high and the installation will also be high, I don't need that size Span and they only have one size panel currently, unless that has changed this week.?
i love the smart home
I’ve done Lutron systems here in Michigan very similar
Very cool but one question, pardon me if I simply missed it. But…CAN you plug in your Tesla vehicles and have them supplement the two battery wall things? Like having 4 power wall things or even more?
How does the SPAN backplane route power around to different breakers? A series of relays on the backplane? Sounds like another point of failure that you're introducing. 😆 (In addition to the point of failure that is - what happens when the internet goes down?)
nice set up man the only thing that would help your power walls look cleaner is running the circuits through the wall and come in through the back of them
Well, in South Africa, there is load shedding. Load shedding is where the country does not have power for a certain time daily. If you want to have power during this, you can use a generator or solar power. If you get solar power then when the power goes off, solar power kicks in and your whole house will have power.
So glad to still see Zack's statue on guard...
How does it know what is drawing power? Do you have to manually name everything?
After installing SPAN, your electrician will help identify and name every circuit during the panel "commissioning" process to configure your Home App so you can see what is drawing power.
You can rename and/or "group" circuits at any time (e.g. by the space/room of the home, or type of activity) via the Home App to see the energy draw in a manner that suits you 📱⚡
The app GUI is impressive
Hello Dan, love the videos. Can you tell me what your average electric bill runs per month? I just purchased a new home and in the process of turning it into a smart house. Keep up the great work! Love to meet ya someday. I’m an automation engineer and write robot and PLC code all day. I think we could get along great. Have a great Friday!
Did you switch off of the tesla wall chargers?
do u have solar panels or solar tiles?
When will the what’s inside backpack be available again
AWEsome, what type of price is that box. I kw install varies. Being in control of ur electric is Sweet....
$4,500 for SPAN and it costs the same to install as a standard electrical panel. Installation costs vary and are determined by your electrician 👍
Can you still use the app when the internet is down? Or will it be uncontrollable
exactly my first thought unless it uses its own closed wifi network
SPAN Panel contains an internet-connected gateway that connects via ethernet and Wi-Fi. In the case of an internet outage, SPAN Panel automatically switches to a cellular backup connection when available.
How long could you go with no power considering you also have solar panels.
How much does an install cost?
I love it I got to get it in my house
Lol coolest parents ever
cool
😯
Do you not attach Starlink?
It’s funny I’m watching this video and I’m facing a random power outage in my area at 2am. It was on my home page lol. Now I’m low key jealous.
How often does your region get outages? I don't think I'll ever need this because we never have outages
congrats of 2 million
Pretty cool. Can't imagine the cost though lol.
I have two span panels. Span do not support two panels! They show up as seperate houses and you have to switch in the app. The second panel has to be wired up as a sub panel. This means you cannot have the powerwall will feed both panels but the only one span panel (the primary) will know that there is an outage. Span do not logically connect the panels. It also means that you cannot have "areas" that span span panels. This all means you have to plan what goes in each panel. The sub panel will get power but it will; not automatically turn off cuircits becasue it does not know there is a problem.
btw span answer is that they will release a bigger panel some day.
Whats the panels next to the breaker panels for?
Lighting control
i know im late but i really gotta ask, what happenes if the internet goes down, now ofc it you still have power and everyting but if ISPs powerwall runs out, then what?
The SPAN Panel contains an internet-connected gateway that connects via ethernet and Wi-Fi. In the case of an internet outage, SPAN automatically switches to a cellular backup connection when available. SPAN will continue to operate according to its most recent settings even when home internet or cellular service are temporarily lost and will also continue to monitor the utility grid and transition into off-grid mode in the event of a power outage 👍
God your span install went much smoother that’s mine…6 month in still don’t have mine online or even my solar turned on…fml
If a breaker trips I wonder if you can flip it manually or do you need the app. 🤔
You can still flip the breakers manually and interact with SPAN like a normal electrical panel 👍
if you had a loxone system instead of control4 you could manage the power walls without this span. With the span you would have a huge control over the house with a loxone system, with a energy meter read out in the app.
Wow in the uk all that wiring would have to ripped out as it would not meet code due to no insulation on the earth wires plus looks like there is not much difference in the cable size and why is you lighting drawing so much power do you not have LED lighting that is a crazy amount of power going to you lights
Over 7 years ago I had a Generac 20KW whole house natural gas generator installed. I don't have to worry about the lifetime of the batteries.
When the power goes out I can hear the solenoids in the auto-switch box disconnect from the city power. At the same time the generator has
started and going up to power. Just before 10 seconds the box on the outside switches over to the generator.
It does have a load sharing feature which I don't need. I heat with natural gas, my water heater and clothes dryer is all natural gas.
So does it this require an internet connection? What happens if you lose that?

Truly smart home….
Technology has come so far
Where can I get that novelty looking tesla charger?
Do a comparison between the Span charger and the tesla wall charger
Cool and all, but what happens when span starts charging you monthly for keeping your power on :) just saying that basic functionality might not be somthing that you want a company to have full control over.
Also can I run this 100 locally and not send any data to a "cloud"
I like that.. will it work with old house built in 1974?
You should take a Look at Savant Power, it runs laps arround this SPAN Panel.
does Savant Power work independently? Like the home in this video I have Control4 as well and wasn't sure how that'd work if or if required to have other Savant products as well
I agree on the tree btw
