  1. Yes, no problems with it.
  2. Hi, I got the Thingwala modification and it works 100%. No problem adding to my wifi, and it integrates fine with Home Assistant. The app works great and I'm 100% satisfied. The only downside is that the actual geyser panel is reduced in size and functionality but that becomes irrelevant because the app has much more functionality.

    Edit: OK I found where I can download the image. Previously: Thanks for responding; I don't mind losing the data but where do I get a copy of the software? - I seem to recall that can be purchased but I bought the Orange Pi with software included and I didn't make a backup.
  4. During a reboot of my SA (Orange Pi) the power was interrupted and when I tried to reboot, I got the following on the kiosk display. ... Begin: Running/scripts/local-block... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block Begin: done. Running/scripts/local-block... done. Begin: Running/scripts/local-block... done. Begin: Running/scripts/local-block done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block done. done. Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules: ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! (initramfs)_ ... Any idea what I can do to fix this or recover? Thanks, Ken
  5. I have a Geyserwise MAX system and I want to upgrade it for WiFi connection and control via Home Assistant. Geyserwise has an upgrade and there is another product - Thingwala - that apparently does the same thing. (see links below) Does anyone have any experience with either or both of these update kits? My instinct is to go with the Geyserwise kit but I'd like some hands-on experience. Also, does anyone have any information about integrating with HA for automation. They cost around the same. Thanks, Ken https://www.livestainable.co.za/product/geyserwise-max-or-delta-t-pcb-for-tuya-smart-wifi-app/ https://www.thingwala.com/geyserwala/connect/order
  6. I am installing the @kellerza Sunsynk Inverter Add-on (Multi) and I get this error message when I click on 'Install'. Failed to install add-on The command '/bin/ash -o pipefail -c pip3 install --no-cache-dir --disable-pip-version-check paho-mqtt==1.6.1 mqtt-entity==0.0.3 sunsynk[pymodbus,umodbus]==0.3.6 pyyaml==5.4.1' returned a non-zero code: 1 Can anyone help me work out what I have done wrong? I have followed the instructions - the repository has been added to HA. I installed a MQTT Broker. Thanks, Ken
  7. Thank you, I'm not going to edit it! I just want to get an idea of where things are and how they work together to produce a result. Thank you for your patience! Regards, Ken
  8. Hi Slipx, thank you, the problem was a mis-identified sensor. I'm learning here, so please excuse a learner question: you showed me the 'sunsynk-power-flow-card.js' code. Where does this code live in HA? IOW, where would I go to see and edit it (if I was so brave). I can see and edit the Power Card on my dashboard but that .js file and processing must be located somewhere else. Where is it? I am learning here. Thanks again.
  9. Hi, thank you for this amazing work. I have the latest version (as at 17 July) and the calculation of the non-essentials does not seem to be working - the non-essentials number is the same as the 'Sunsynk Grid Power 172' sensor instead of being 'nonessential = grid_ct_power_172 - grid_power_169' . My question is: where would I find the code for this calculation? I have looked in the configuration.yaml file but couldn't find it. Thank you for your help. Regards, Ken
