Hi, Quick update. Halting the pi running Solar Assistant, restores functionality to Luxpower App. Will investigate later, but just wanted to reassure those who may have had concerns.

Hi Guys, have any of the users/testers noticed that the vendor phone app has stopped updating. Just wondering before I dissect my system. Also the SOC, (power left in battery) shows a value like 25648% I think I have a fix for this as its a fixed offset, but wondered if theres a setting I missed. That said, last night I got the whole thing running via MQTT into Home Assistant. Next step is to set up some access to the numbers in Home Assistant and make automation decisions.......pending 🙂 Paul Buksh

Hi, guys. I have installed luxpower lxpm3600acs in november 2022. Didn't want to fiddle too early till I understood the system. I have been looking for topics like yours since. So glad I found you guys. I have had a look at Solar asistant and I'm very impressed. Considering I worked in electronics at CERN way back, their product is truly amazing. So I asked if they could support Luxpower, and they have their beta version up and running. I installed it today and now have it all running. Currently just stopped to give them a big thumbs up and let you guys know it is shaping up to be a dela breaker for people buying into solar battery tech. I'm at the stage of setting up Mqtt for integration into Home Assistant, and if my wife doesnt notice I'm not on the couch watching tv with her ! I'll get it sorted soon. Hope my experience helps you and their company. A few details: Home assistant installed onto a pi4b and takes over the whole pi( cant remeber the name of the install, but not docker etc) Solar Assistant running on pi4B. no need to do anything at all with the luxpower etc, its all done via wifi( except my two pi that are on ether for convenience. Hope this helps PaulBuksh
