Hi all I have a Deye 8KW inverter with 2x Hubble AM2 batteries. Deye connected to Solar Assistant. Solar Assistant connected to battery #1 via RS232, and the two batteries are connected via link cable. I also have a Cloudlink lying around here, currently not connected to the Deye as that slot is taken up by the cable to Solar Assistant. I cannot connect it to the main battery as the RS232 port is linked to Solar Assistant, but I can plug it into the second battery, but then it only sees that battery, ideally I would like it to see both, without losing the connection to Solar Assistant. Any ideas?

last night I could get to the login screen but after logging in got a connection failed error, this morning I could not even get to the site. Now I can get to the site again, login goes further sits with spinning wheel thingy for long then it goes in. Classifieds next I guess.

Hubble clearly gave up on this product after selling to many unsuspecting buyers. Where do we send this box back to for a refund? No development in the last year according to their own website and the monitoring site is down. 23 NOVEMBER 2022 Cloudlink Version 4.5.8

Any users here of the mostly useless Cloudlink? I have no logged in there for probably a year, I now need to check my office setup but cannot get into the site? I have this: https://portal.riotsystems.cloud/login

Great, price is similar, when I bought the local suppliers were almost double of Amazon. Note that the link is for 8 sensor version, Amazon landed price for the 16 sensor version is R4200 now, it was R2800 when I bought.

If you need to source, look on Amazon, when I bought it was about R3k landed. Make sure you have sufficient space in your DB, remember it comes with 16 clamps, and those clamps are rather big, I eventually removed mine as it was impossible to work in the DB with it installed.

Solar Assistant, one cable to plug in and it works. Home Assistant, well, install, configure, setup etc. This can a bit daunting for a non technical user.

That's a lot more complex than running Solar Assistant.

Just like I could not find the 8kw one 😀

Look on Thingyverse, there are some prints there.

R100k+ for the installation, how much do you save? SA cables works, costs either R299 or R499, yes it is probably hell expensive, but in the grand scheme of things very affordable.

Yes that is correct, and then the battery remains at 40%, grid takes the load, and PV will do the charging when available.

Pretty sure it works exactly as I am thinking, the grid charging is not enabled for any timeslot.

Inverter firmware on the latest, it was done about 2 weeks ago. My settings are the same as yours, except I do not use grid charging, solar only. It is not really prioritising grid over battery, rather blending in shortfall from the grid instead of the battery, but only when the battery SOC is 100%, when the SOC if 70% for example it is working as expected.
