Hi! What stopped working about 5 or 6 days ago were the updates to the Weather Widget. The people at open-meteo.com apparently made some changes regarding the HTTP headers and the way the query is sent. I'm testing solutions. The software itself works continuously. I recommend that you temporarily uncheck the box in the "settings" tab to disable the weather widget. It's also possible that a bug appeared due to the New Year, although in that case it should have stopped at 00:00 or when the total reaches 01:00 on January 1, 2026. The quickest way to test this is to go to the \Data folder, find the "history.dbf" file, and replace it with the empty file you should have in the "installer." I recommend copying this file to a safe location before deleting it, as all your production statistics are stored there. I upgraded my inverter to a Goodwe GW6000 ES2; the communication protocol is MODBUS, so I am currently developing the new version for this one and can no longer test the previous one. Regards !

@BGb Well, the truth is, I haven't received much more motivation from forum users to continue uploading subsequent versions, and I'm struggling to prepare a new one so it looks good in the forum's download area. I'm sending you a Google Drive link where you can download a fully functional version, although not the one I'm developing. It may have a bug that I'd appreciate if you could report to me. In the "Events" tab, you'll find a bug in a feature I'm implementing, but that doesn't work well yet, related to unexpected photovoltaic power outages. The idea is for the system to alert you with an audible alarm. I had an arc flash in my installation due to a dubious MC4 connector I'd had since 2017. A fire started in the connector while the arc flashed until the power to the entire string was cut off. The idea behind this feature I'm working on is to at least warn you and give you the opportunity to react in time if a fire breaks out on your roof. This guarantee of at least one loud audible warning can only be achieved through a real-time SCADA system. Follow the installation instructions in the .txt file once you unzip the ZIP file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EwOGCG4DpBgTaV7C9FaVcv6J-euCZsOv/view?usp=drive_link Here is a YouTube video (with many editing limitations) of a previous version (4.25): https://youtu.be/G22gsCb9wHo

Hi @BGb ! I don't quite understand what you need. The file you're referring to is designed so that installers/advanced users can observe, with an accuracy of seconds or less, all the parameters evaluated by the software based on inverter information from the last few days. However, all this information is already filtered by type. In the CE tab, you can see comparisons of the current/previous hour, the current/previous day, the current/previous month, and the current/previous year. Meanwhile, in the GR tab, in all types of graphs, you have the values broken down by type, totaled hour by hour for a day, day by day for a month, and month by month for a year. Of course, you must leave the system running permanently, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It's a SCADA-type system with constant monitoring. If you only have it connected for an hour, you'll only have the totalized minute-by-minute information for that hour. If you have it running for a day, you will have detailed and filtered (discriminated) information available for 24 hours.

Hi BGb, I recommend you update the ARM firmware first (new=21). The latest version for this device is 1262521. It's also possible that your new router has some kind of delay or excessive delay for the UDP protocol. If you have an installer password provided by Goodwe for your SEMS PORTAL account, you can initiate a firmware update task for your device yourself from the Goodwe IoT platform, without needing to request it via a support ticket: https://eu.iot.goodwe-power.com/#/login

Hi @TaliaB ! Any external AFCI devices you can recommend? Thanks

What firmware version do you have?

Hi ! Hello. I am concerned because I had an Electric Arc in an MC4 connector that I installed 7 years ago in my photovoltaic installation. In the positive of a Panel of a string in series and an external fuse box. Surely the connector, among several that I bought, must have been of dubious quality, perhaps water entered and corrosion was generated... added to the very high ambient temperature and direct sunlight. The connector was carbonized and, thank God, only both connectors and part of the cable caught fire. Being aerial, the rapid fire did not touch more combustible materials and only left the panel blackened. Although for some years there have been international standards that are beginning to be mandatory, such as the UL 1699B Standard, the IEC 63027 Standard; these devices are not yet widespread. I am looking for places where I can buy an intelligent electric arc device that is also a disconnector of the String as a whole, of the AFCI BREAKER type. ??? Can anyone suggest one and where to buy it? CEF

Private message. I need the hardware token number for the hexadecimal key.

Hi !!! Nop... Just the update. The hex key is the same for life for all 4.xx version. The version I'm finishing debugging is 4.60

Hi . In the download area of the forum, a new version is coming. I will publish it shortly.

Hi @Tokolosh your key is ready. Regards !

Please write in english. Thank you.

Hi @Tokolosh . With my software you will only confirm in real time, with data updated every second and in graphic form, the almost certain fact that both of your battery charge/discharge circuits have burned out. Each one handles about 50 amps. I also have the yellow model. Within the warranty period, one of the circuits burned out, so both in charge and discharge, the total power received or delivered by the batteries was limited to the product of an amperage less than 50 x the voltage. If both circuits burn out, your batteries become non-existent for the inverter even though it seems that there are batteries connected. This failure unfortunately does not cause any type of alarm or error that is recorded. In my case, the inverter was replaced directly from China. I must tell you that this happened to me when I was using lead acid batteries without a BMS. With the current 4 pylontech batteries, the new inverter (also yellow) works wonders. I will send you a password privately so that you can use the software.

Hi. Yes. No problem. You need a key. Private message. Regards !
