Panel
Click the ☀️ icon to open the panel: four cards that sum everything up at a glance.
The panel in light theme: production, battery, flows and history.
The same panel in dark theme.
At the top of the panel: the app name, the time of the last update, and four icon actions:
- Blue gauge — opens the dashboard;
- Orange sun — opens the Sun window;
- Teal gear — opens Settings;
- ⋯ — a menu with Check for updates… and Quit Zendure Monitor.
Tip: double-clicking any chart in the panel opens the dashboard.
- The instantaneous power in large type, and today's energy (kWh) on the right.
- A chart whose period is picked with the 15 min / Day / 14 d selector:
- 15 min — sparkline of the latest readings;
- Day — today's production curve (the maximum of each 5-minute slice, kept across app restarts);
- 14 d — histogram of the last 14 days' energy.
- If the battery has several MPPT inputs, each PV input is listed with its power.
- A circular gauge of the state of charge (SOC), with "charging" or "discharging" in the center when a flow is active. The color follows the level: red below 15%, orange below 40%, green above.
- Charge and Discharge rows with the flow power, and a sparkline of the battery flow (green when charging, orange when discharging).
- One row per physical pack: SOC, temperature and power.
- To the home — the power delivered to your installation.
- From the grid — the power drawn from the public grid.
- A sparkline of the power sent to the home.
- Today's solar split: "X% direct · Y% stored" — the share of today's production that went straight to the home versus into the battery (AC charging from the grid, e.g. during off-peak hours, is deducted from the calculation). Today's cumulated grid energy shows on the right once it is significant.
- The histogram of the last 14 days with the period total.
- The share button exports the whole stored history (up to 90 days) as CSV (columns
date,wh). - Below: today's power peak and the vs yesterday comparison in percent.
If the battery stops answering (network outage, device off), the panel does not go blank: the last values stay visible, dimmed, and the header reads "Offline — last data at HH:MM:SS". Warning banners appear at the bottom of the panel as needed: connected via the fallback host, network error, local network access blocked, notifications denied.
In Settings → Display, choose what the menu bar shows next to the icon:
- Solar production (W) — on by default;
- Battery level (%);
- Home consumption (W).
Unchecking everything shows only the ☀️ icon. The same tab offers the theme: Auto (follows macOS), Dark or Light.
