TOU scheduling for SunSynk
I bought two of these to try and manage TOU discharge scheduling for two Sunsynk devices. I did some research beforehand and understood that I could enable MQTT on each SolarAssistant device and point them to a broker in the cloud and then configure the rules table on each device from there. However, it appears the only MQTT option is for the SA device itself to be a broker. Am I able to achieve scheduled charge and discharge on a SunSynk by controlling Solar Assistant remotely over MQTT or REST-API or otherwise?

You didn't buy a Mercedes. You bought a Shoto.

Do the positive and negative cables from the battery to the inverter need to be the same length?
Positive and negative cables from battery to bus bar simply serve to close the circuit and there is no need for them to be the same length at all. The oft-mentioned statement above that they should be as short as possible is basically applicable to any cable anywhere in any system - if it is longer than necessary, then losses - however marginal - will be higher. Likewise, a positive and negative from the busbar to the inverter or charge controller also do not have a requirement to be the same length.
