QuintenRowland got a reaction from MetaB in Luxpower SNA5000WPV inverter - is battery communication cable necessary?Hey @MetaB
Just wanted to reach out and say thanks I used your pinout today on a Luxpower SNA and it worked brilliant and inverter setting to 21 on brand worked like a charm for me.

Thats great to hear.
Just be a bit patient they will release updates soon we have all been testing and providing feedback

PM me your mobile number then I can share some screenshots of mine.

For the lux units it actually does work over the local lan. No need for cables if you happy with the information supplied by the inverter

Sorry I meant I have been using SA for the last 2 years was previously connected to my Victron & Growatt inverter.
I have only recently switched to the luxpower inverter and started the SA monitoring on the beta release.
You leave the comms cable between the inverter and batteries as it is.
The SA device just needs to be connected to the same local network as the inverter data logger.
SA pulls all the values for monitoring through the local network and reads the battery SOC though the inverter.
You have the option to connect a RS232 to USB cable also from the master to SA if you want more information from the battery like each cell voltage and temperature which then still leaves the RS485 open for the comms to the inverter.
If your wireless is intermitted between lux dongle and SA you will experience some connectivity issues but all power functions will still be fine and controlled between inverter and bms.
One of the benefits I love about SA is that the update time of data is almost instant instead of the usual delay of all the other options available.
