Good morning, we still have no energy values in the dashboard. The line managers are asking me every hour. What is your status?

You · 08:19

Good morning Ms. Kessler, thanks for the update. I can see the meters are reachable via ping but not answering on Modbus TCP. I'm checking the firewall rules changed during the maintenance window.

Andrea Kessler (BMW) · 08:24

The IT team says nothing was changed. Can you prove that it is on our side before we escalate?
