October 2, 20214 yr Hi Gurus of the Solarworld, I recently had a 8kw Deye inverter, 7kw Panels and 10 Kwh batteries installed. As luck would have it I haven't had a good sun day yet. That said, it managed to charge the the batteries to fill or nearly full every day. The installer did not install the CT coil in the right place even after repeatedly telling him that it wasn't. It only measures essential loads. Low and behold, he is coming back to fix it as I still owe him some money. To my actual question. I found bits and bobs around the Solarman Smart app and local mode. If I configure it to local mode does it mean I loose the cloud monitoring or can both be active at the same time? The lag on Solarman is not good enough in my view. Is there a way barring SolarAssist and Raspberry Pi to get real-time stats directly from the inverter or wifi logger? Homeassistant integration would also be a massive plus.
October 3, 20214 yr Author I think I answered my own question. I was afraid to tinker with the wifi connection as I struggled my ass off getting it to sort off working. The logger never played well with my Mikrotik access points. It keeps dropping off randomly even with excellent signal. I found an old TP-link and that worked. Local mode can't be configured as a permanent solution. You connect your phone directly to the logger network and get as-at-now stats, no graphs or historical info etc.
