  1. Anyone been able to source a Tuya CT Clamps locally? Google brings up some websites, but none of which I'm familiar with. So don't feel very comfortable buying on unknown sites
  2. Which cable are you using to read the data from the Battery BMS? Also, what battery are you using?
  3. I built my own system with Home Assistant. Raspberry Pi connected to inverter, polls data and forwards that via MQTT to MQTT Broker. I then ingest that inside Node-Red (Running on Home Assistant) and then have some logic sub flows to do things, such as switch back to grid mode if battery is at/below x% If the geyser is on, and the battery is at x%, which the geyser off etc. I also have all the data points shipped off to InfluxDB and then use Grafana to setup dashboards for analysing all the data over a time frame. Oh and it's accessible from anywhere in the world the Home Assistance instance. And for a massive cost of R0.00 per month
  4. Which inverter you running that is also reporting the lower than expected Solar PV Watts?
  5. What exactly does the setting -1 do? What affect does it have on the low PV wattage issue if it has got any affect?
  6. Good question. @Coulomb could you perhaps shed some insight?

  8. Anyone know what the Upper and Lower limits are of the Grid Frequency? Baseline: 50Hz Looking at setting up alerts in what my inverter measures
  9. Hi All, Any users on here that have got Shoto batteries? Any issues with them from day 1?
  10. All 7 panels connected via only 1 MPPT tracker? As I believe the LuxPower inverters have two MPPT trackers?
  11. Interested in getting one 5Kw LuxPower inverter, apart from the cable issues to get the batteries to talk to the inverter. How's the performance and reliability of these units so far? Is the PV MPPT trackers any good?

  13. Thank you for the information. I agree, the information isn't much useful in what I'm looking for. How best would I perhaps be able to get a more decimal amps value (discharge) or the Battery Discharge Watts displayed on the inverter (if you have any idea)?

  15. Above is what I get back from the QBMS query from the inverter. 089 is the battery percentage, but I'm unsure about the other numbers
