That happens when the small nuclear reactor kicks in, inside your SunSynk inverters 🤣

yeah, that only updates every 60 minutes and not necessarily on the hour so be patient

Yes takes about an hour or 2

Hi @JeremyJvR
You need to download two additional nodes that are not pre-installed with NR. 
Click the hamburger icon on the top right corner > click Manage Palette > Click Install tab. Search and install the following two nodes,
node-red-contrib-cycle node-red-contrib-moment That should resolve the issue.

Awesome, thanks did the job

Thanks @Sc00bs and @Bloubul7
It was related to InfluxDB settings. I've updated the InfluxDB settings with my user credentials and the data is flowing into InfluxDB,

Now I just need to get the Grafana dashboards to pull the data,

Edit:
Figured it out. Needed to add an additional data source for the "InverterDB" database in Grafana. 
Thank you kindly, gentlemen!

Two x 8kw Sunsynk Hybrid Inverters with 4 x Hubble AM2 with 36 x 535w JA Solar panels. 

Apologies, looks like my inverter data was fiddled with. Fixed in this version. Somehow it doesn't calculate for 2 MPPTs, but that's OK
It looks good, note that I adjusted min temp for Midrand as -2, but it isn't plausible that it will reach -2 at 12H00. Great panels, you could probably go up to 8 in series, great for cloudy days!

Really valuable feedback. Thank you guys. 
I am in Midrand, Johannesburg area. I do have a bit of calculations to do in terms of panel choice. 

Hi, Having just gone through this, I installed 12 X 450w, 2 strings of 6 on a 8kw Sunsynk. My surprise was that I get no where near 5400w, Because its winter. The most I saw was about 4200w. I have still to setup my monitoring and to get the proper numbers. Summer will be much better. Also my panels are 11a,  Most I have seen is 9.6A. Your two important values. Startup voltage, max voltage allowed per MPPT, including panel Amps (I read sunsynk can clip if higher than spek)( each PV input on the inverter). Dont go over that top voltage, ever, There is so much YouTube from Kieth on Sunsynk explaining this. The only advice I could give on the solar panel is make sure its a well known brand and has the Tier one approval. They all offer similar warrentee, around 10 - 15 year but 25 years expected at some loss percentage a year. But  I think. What will the value of say a 450w be in 10 years?? So to  to me it was important to say, Whats my budget, what can I get for the money and what is the biggest Watts I can use and buy up front that will fit the inverter. Fewer panels more wattage less roof space, but I  dont  want to go over the inverter specs. And I love the Sunsynk, that was a great buy.

And then when you have a good understanding, use this tool:
or this one which I have updated for the 5K Sunsynk.

You basicly dont have to worry about the non essential circuit as it does not run through the inverter ,the inverter will supplement solar and battery up to 5kw to your non essentials according to set times or your needs throughout the day. As long as you stay below 3,5kw(2 pylons ) on the ups side when the grid is down you wont have any problems. When the grid is available you can run up to 7kw on the ups/load side. 
Those solar panels will be perfect , i would run the first 6 of them on your north facing roof on the one mppt and then when u have more cash put 8 panels on west facing roof on second mppt.  I am currently running 5 445w panels on each mppt . Planning to get another 4 panels soon.
