<html><body style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">My quandary is "who is supposed to pay for this time?" How many free hours/ days are we supposed to spend?

There have been times when I ring right through, and others when I'm on hold for more than an hour (I think my personal record was a total of 2.5 hours in one day due to my call being dropped after 70 minutes of waiting. I have tried the online request for support route several times and I can't remember if I've ever received a call or email back from that, other than once when I got a call back maybe 5 days after I submitted my request - clearly that is not a very functional system. I also think it would be quite helpful if there was a way to reference a case number on line to see what the current status of a support issue was if it was something that I was waiting for a more information about or a higher tier response from, but as far as I know that is not available to us. When I do get through, I mostly feel like I've gotten decent to really good support, although my impression is that there is a fair amount of siloing between the various design, engineering, and support departments which has caused frustration for me in getting clear answers or solutions to issues and problems.</div><div>As far as the gateway, I am happy with the interface and functionality when onsite, but the Insight 2 portal seems extremely limited and for the most part useless from an installer perspective, mostly geared toward making things easy to read for end users, but not supplying some real basic information and functionality needed to even keep track of a site, no less troubleshoot it offsite. So far it is a big disappointment since I had the impression that it was promised to give total transparency and programability into a remote site. I can only hope that Schneider is doing due diligence in developing those capabilities before releasing them on us - perhaps wishful thinking...</div><div>Howie<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 3:57 PM Glenn Burt <<a href="mailto:glenn.burt@glbcc.com">glenn.burt@glbcc.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px .8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;"><div lang="en-us"><div class="gmail-m_-3454985388767439153WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">First time in about a year that I have had to use Schneider support \u2013 I find that now the special number has no one answering it!?<span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">I created a case online 5 days ago and received receipt of a case number \u2013 do I now have to wait for my number to come up and for them to call me?<span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Anyone else experiencing this, or did I miss something?<span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">I am registered with Schneider as an installer\u2026<span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span> <span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have an off-grid customer I talked into using their equipment partially based on feedback I got here about the new Gateway\u2026so far I am unimpressed with internet connectivity and the Insight 2 portal\u2026 He is now snowed in for the winter here and access is only by snowmobile.
