January 19, 20233 yr I got a replacement Solar Assistant Pi but with start up it only starts up with the orange Pi logo, no Solar Assistant. i did a restore from my profile via SD card. it only allows you to run in trail mode for 7 days before restoring your old profile. Two questions will the software now only be on the SD card and not be imbedded on the Orange Pi anymore? will the issue with the battery totalizers correct itself once my full profile is active again?
February 21, 20242 yr @Deon Zeelie A year and 2 days too late...I'm sure you got it right by now! For completeness, after confirmation that the trail license is working ok, one needs to go to https://solar-assistant.io/sites, click "Edit" and then "Swap License". No the SA software will not be embedded. I really think SA could have put in a option in this SW version to copy it from SD to Memory. Not difficult to do, if one had access to a terminal. Maybe someone with above average linux skills could experiment and see if this is possible. I' would assume that if you had made a backup of your data, the history would be OK, but i think the backup feature only became availabe on SW version date 2023-08-16. PS all, I have a spare Orange Pi 3 LTS and SA on SD card available. PM me if you are in Centurion area.
