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

Which cable are you using to read the data from the Battery BMS? Also, what battery are you using?

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

A so Axpert equivalent

Which inverter you running that is also reporting the lower than expected Solar PV Watts?

Noted. Thank you

What exactly does the setting -1 do? What affect does it have on the low PV wattage issue if it has got any affect?

Good question. @Coulomb could you perhaps shed some insight?

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

Hi All, Any users on here that have got Shoto batteries? Any issues with them from day 1?

All 7 panels connected via only 1 MPPT tracker? As I believe the LuxPower inverters have two MPPT trackers?

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?

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)?

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

Thank you so much for your detailed response. And for confirming my suspicions. Currently the PylonTech bank is connected to the inverter, but will need to take a look at how I can ingest the information from the BMS as well via Solpiplog. I know it is possible, but not sure what cable should be used

Have been running a Axpert King with Solpiplog to ingest data via MQTT and onto Node-Red where the heart of the system lives. However, the issue, not a problem I have is that Solpiplog doesn't extract the battery Watts as what is displayed on the Inverter panel. I can calculate this myself W = Battery V x Battery Discharge Amps But the slight inconvenience I have is that the Discharge Amps aren't in decimal, so I can never 100% calculate the exact watt usage at a given interval. Would this perhaps be a display firmware related issue that is preventing the Battery Watts shown on the inverter to be ingested via MQTT, OR, am I needing to find an alternative way to calculate? Or perhaps there is a better ingestion program like Solpiplog? TIA Grant

Any improvements seen yet?

Currently got 3 Pylontech US3000C setup with my interver and connected as per the Pylontech installation guide. Are there any advantages to connecting each battery negative and positive to a central busbar, and then onto the inverter?

Looking for a Raspberry Pi4, seems like most online store is out of stock 🙄 Want to run HomeAssistant on it. So please do let me know if you have one laying around, you'd want to apart for cash or know where I can order one

Yes, system = Inverter and it's an Axpert King 5KW TBH, not sure I catch the ELD acronym. Would you mind explaining? There has been one instance whereby the earth just tripped for now reason. This was with Eskom/Municipal supply not being interrupted and resumed. Oh it's pretty old (I think) it's an HEiNEMANN brand

Hi All, So have fairly newish system running now for the last 5ish months. And with the recent increased frequency of load shedding a very odd thing started happening. When the powers come back online, the earth leakage trips. This never happened before the system was installed. Trying to figure where potentially things are going wrong. So has anyone else experienced this? Thanks G

Thank you! Setting block 3 and 4 to 65c fixed it, even though it's not programmed to any times

It's been set as follows: Monday > Friday Morning: 55 Evening: 65 More showers in the evening than in the morning Saturday > Sunday Morning: 55 Evening: 65 I'll try it out to set block 1 and 2 (only use those two blocks) all to 65 and check

Got a GeyserWise Max with vacuum tubes installed about 2 weeks ago and have noticed that the element icon flashing after the geyser reaches 55c, but my max is set to 65c. Any ideas or thoughts?
