Welcome!

How are you finding the battery storage? I know the cube is a new product.

good idea, batteries will be a serious money saver as the price of grid power continues to increase.

I'm looking to add another slave to mine, they appear to be in stock at ITS but a bit wary, and not cheap either lol

Reading the install manual it’s a simply case of lifting it into place under the master and updating the masters dip switch by one place. Should be a 30 second job.

Oh yeah not worried about installing, more dodgy suppliers and inflated prices. Although I can't help but feel a design flaw here, surely having the master as the base would make more sense for a few reasons.

• No disturbing of fixed cabling

• No need to lift heavy equipment twice

• Only need to manufacture the master to be able to 'accept feet'

Adding a slave would then be a simple case of removing a cosmetic cover shooting a new one on top of the stack and popping the cover back on.

I don't believe the cover needs to be removed on the cube, it's simply slots ontop of each other, so powerdown, pull the top master off the top, place the new slave on top of the existing slave and pop the master back on top of the new slave.

No, I know the cover doesn't need removing. I was suggesting a potentially better design whereby slaves are on top of the master.

With the current design the heavy master has to be removed (along with cabling potentially). Then you need to put that somewhere whilst you add a slave before putting it back on top.

It just seems inefficient

oh I see, yes having the master at the bottom would make more sense. I see your point!

awesome stuff, thanks.
