How often, and at what granularity, does Cloud Solar send data?
Our devices use a message queuing system, meaning that data can be recorded at set intervals and sent in batches. The maximum number of messages that can be sent together is 16.
Both the data recording interval and sending interval are configurable, though our standard setup is to send data either every 1 hour, or every 4 hours with a 20 minute granularity.
However, remember that sending data more frequently will increase data usage, and therefore costs.
