I have no need to upgrade nor do I plan on upgrading for the hell of it. I'm just curious to know about any new features (if any) or info that might become available in newer releases. I guess I'm more surprised by the number of upgrade requests that are posted daily. Some of the installers/experts don't know how to configure time of use or other "basic" settings, yet the first thing they request is a fw upgrade.

Does anyone have access to any release notes for the Deye firmware upgrades? I see lots of installers requesting fw upgrades for dongles and inverters but no one mentions bug fixes or improvements. Am I wrong for wanting to see this info before blindly upgrading?

So I used a combination of @IggyP post from 15 May for the setup, together with your advice to try a different cable and port on my W10 laptop. Started out by resetting the device, then followed each step without touching the device. It worked!

Thanks @IggyP and @Sc00bs. After a lot of back and forth, I got the code loaded and the device connected to the inverter. At the moment I'm figuring out which port to use on the Deye 8kw but I think its somewhere in this thread. Thanks again for your help.

How did you get this working? I bought the same kit (ESP32 and shield), followed the video to the letter but the installation keeps failing with the memory error (upload is greater than available space) using OTA. I even tried uploading using the USB connection direct - same issue. I've reset/erased the ESP32 and still no joy.
