Settings page overview
The 'Settings' tab of the commissioning interface groups every site-wide setting of the SmartgridOne Controller. This page lists all the sections of the settings page, in the order in which they appear, and links to the chapter that explains each of them.
Note
The settings of individual devices (nominal power, battery capacity, priority, ...) are not on the settings page. They are changed from the "Devices" tab, see Device settings.

Tip
The grid settings, the default working mode, the data saver and the location are also asked during the initial setup wizard that appears the first time you open the commissioning interface. Everything you enter there can be changed later on the settings page.
Note
Cloud controllers
On a cloud SmartgridOne Controller some sections are not applicable and are not shown, for example the network configuration, the remote service connection, the reboot and the factory reset. In multi-site mode, the site-specific sections (grid settings, working modes, location, PV details) are managed per site instead.
