Solar man logger offline / Deye 5KW inverter


Niel Kotze

Recommended Posts

I need advice to get my Solarman logging to start working again.
All was working 100% until this morning when my Solarman app on my android phone displayed "All devices offline".

I have done the following to attempt a fix:
- restarted my wifi router.
- disconnected and reconnected the wifi dongle from my Deye 5KW inverter
- turned off / on my actual inverter
- Unbinded the datalogger in the Solarman app and re-add the same datalogger.

When looking at the physical datalogger, the Power and Com lights are solid green while the Ready light on the right steadily flashes every couple of seconds.
I also ran a diagnostic on the datalogger via the Solarman app via the "Device Networking" option
The diagnostic shows goes through all the steps and shows "Verified" at the end.

Any suggestions to fix the issue?

Have you tried logging into the web browser version? Might be a mobile app only issue.

Perhaps someone with a DEYE inverter can check which lights are lit / flashing on their dongle.
On my dongle, the far left LED (Net) and far right LED (Ready) flash at the same time, while the middle (Com) LED is green

I can access my Plant via the website but it also shows "All Devices Offline"

@Niel Kotze So I just checked, NET is solid green, COM flashes every now and again, but mostly solid green and READY flashes green. There are no red lights at all.

Thanks for the update.

I'm happy to report that I figured out where the issue is.
The Wifi SSID that I normally link to the WIFI dongle somehow prevented the datalogger from connecting to the cloud.
Nothing changed on my WIFI setup, so I'm not sure what caused the problem.

I was setting up my new aircon to connect to my WIFI SSID when it failed to connect to the mobile App.
Only when I linked the WIFI Access Point of the aircon to my Guest WIFI connection did it work.
Knowing this, I removed and re-added the WIFI dongle of my Inverter and linked it to my Guest WiFi SSID........ and magically the Solarman app started receiving data.
