  1. Hi all. I have now added the Sunsynk support to SMH as well, so you can use profiles to reprogram the inverter based on the loadshedding schedule. The full range from 3kw all the way to 16kw works. The only issue I have is on the 16kw I am not able to update any registers. I keep on getting a modbus timeout. Has anybody got the updates working on the 16Kw?
  2. @Venomlog into your pi. Login on the SMH desktop app. Then navigate to the settings page/tab. You will see an upgrade button in the lower left area. Just click on it and let the process run. If you still dont manage to upgrade just give the office a call and they will help you.
  3. Just some feedback on this. We have been working with Pylontech on this matter. It took some time as it was their new year in China. It seems to be a Firmware issue. We got a new version of the Firmware and have rolled it out to some test sites. We have not seen the issue on sites with the new firmware but as the issue was intermitant to start off with we need to let it run for some time to make sure the problem has been resovled. We are able to upload the new firmware from the Pi so once we are happy we will let you know on the way forward.
  4. Yes. I write the software. I believe in working smarter not harder. We provide feeds for home automation systems like https://www.home-assistant.io/. But contact the support people and they will sort you out. That is what you pay for in the end of the day.
  5. No worries. I just thought I would correct that as Manie has nothing to do with SMH so not sure how he can claim that SMH is now ICM? Centurion Solar used to sell and support ICC. Manie did the same to Johan that he did to me by going back on his word, and their paths also separated about 2.5 years ago. Manie tried to sue Johan for some post he made on the forum, I was asked to testify that what Manie was saying is all lies (I have all the WhatsApp’s and Skype messages to proof my statements). That case has also not been concluded so I cannot talk about it. So then Johan and I decided to partner up and build new software from scratch that did not include any of the legacy AICC or ICC code. New USB driver etc. It took me 2 years to build it all and that is SMH. In the context of Centurion Solar ICC is now SMH as CS now only sells and supports SMH not ICC. SMH is the new product the I developed, and CS is supporting. Manie seems to fail to understand that concept. I agree about the lawyers make the money. I did not say anything for years and I removed myself from all Solar forums as it consumed me and made me a bad person. I decided to join PF again not to start any fights, just to state what is going on as it seems most people don’t know.
  6. That is why we have the home automation side. The data is fed into home automation systems like Home Assistant or OpenHab where you can use the data to switch loads on and off as required based on the rules you put in place to safeguard your system. The support people will help you with that also. Just bear in mind that it is silly season, so they are closed at the moment for normal calls. In the new year they will be back helping. That is why you pay the subscription as we are not able to give you lifelong support on a once off payment. Subscription goes towards the support, cloud hosting and development of new features as can been seen in the new Mobile App we took live in version 2.
  7. I am glad you like it. There is a lot more to come in the new year. We will be pupblishing a roadmap soon with everything new that we will be introducing in the new year.
  8. Hi Venom. The watts are calculated by the values that the inverter gives me. I picked up over the years that it can be out by 5 to 10%. This is normal operation and accepted as even other meters will state it can be out by 5 - 10%. You are welcome contact the help desk and they will have a look at your system to double check. If you do not get an anwer from them plase let me know ASAP via PM. I currently use a Goodwe Inverter and this inverter also shows some values not to be correct if I compare it with other external meters.
  9. Hi Nitrios. That is not correct. Centurion Solar used to partnet with Manie selling ICC. In the context of Centurion Solar ICC is now SMH as CS is no longer selling or supporting ICC). The core of ICC was developed by me back in 2015 / 2016. It used to be AICC for Windows. Those who are on the forum from back then will know I started the software AICC for Windows that used the Victron battery monitor to switch the modes of the Axpert inverter. I also used EMONcms for cloud charting. Manie and I then partnered up to port my AICC code to the Raspberry Pi using Lazarus. Long story short is that my and Manie's path seperated, there is currently a court case on the go about that so I am not going to say much more about that. But the fact that Manie is now again traying to say that SMH (That I developed from scratch) is his software is just more proof what he is up to. So SMH is SMH and not ICM.
