[RE-wrenches] envy.fortresspower.io - documentation MIA???

[Kirk Herander]

Hi Jay,
Do you remember the details of how you set it up to see the combined
inverter data?
I have an  individual dongle for each inverter tied into the envy
dashboard, but don’t see any means of creating the sums of both in any of
the options.
