June 23, 20251 yr Hi allIs there a way to pull detailed battery info through the comms sent to the inverter?Battery is a Cyclone F5 connected via the CAN port, however the only info seen is total combined capacity:I'd like to see individual battery info such as the below:The 2nd set of metrics is with a comms cable connected directly to the Pi and master battery. Inverters are then controlled via Solar Assistant.However, in my instance with the Luxpower and Cyclone batteries, I need to have the batteries talking directly to the inverter to achieve the best efficiency.

July 4, 20251 yr In theory, Yes you can split your LAN cable using one of those Volkano Network series LAN Adapters. There is one the connects three LAN cables, RJ-45 type
July 9, 20251 yr @Bl4d3 I see a new firmware update has dropped for the sn5-6 might have added a few things.

July 20, 20251 yr Author Some feedback on this. Looks like the inverter is taking the SOC of both batteries and reporting the average between them, which in my mind means that the Inverter is getting individual battery data.Still no detailed battery info on other than the new included SOH, however, this is still averaged and not detailed per battery:
