D Bosch Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Hi All I have a 8kw Deye inverter and have a few questions 1) What is the G-valve on the bottom left next to the ATS 2)How do you get the inverter to connect with wifi and how can I monitor the inverter with my laptop from within my house. 3)If I use the generator input with a 4000w generator will it only charge the batteries or will the inverter connect the load up to the CT with the generator directly. My apologies for all these questions as the manual is unfortunately very basic. Quote
JustinSchoeman Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 1) No idea 2) Install 'Solarman' app, and follow the directions. (The automated setup does not work if you have special characters in WiFi SSID. In this case, connect to the logger's AP, enter the router IP in the chrome URL bar, log directly into the logger and set up the WiFi from the UI there.) Not sure if you can monitor from a laptop - I think there is only a cellphone app. 3) Generator will only power Load, not Grid. Quote
Zerc Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 This link should allow you to access the Solarman data from a web browser, just use the same credentials you used for the app https://home.solarmanpv.com/login Desh 1 Quote
PaulinNorthcliff Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 The problem seems to be that the Sunsynk/Deye does not like to be simultaneously linked to multiple platforms. So if it's loaded on your smartphone, don't try to load it on your laptop... and vice versa. Quote
Zerc Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 I have it on both and it seems to be working fine. I am using the SOLARMAN Smart app on Andriod . Quote

Good to hear. We have been unable to attain that level of utility. Sucks to be us. I had it working fine on my Android phone... right up until I tried to load the Web browser on my laptop. Quote

I regularly change between using the four different android apps or one of the web portals. I think there are four web portals as well. https://pro.solarmanpv.com/login https://home.solarmanpv.com/login https://home.solarman.cn/login.html?lang=2 https://pro.solarman.cn/login/login.do Quote
Rumpletomskin Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Had a panic attack after refreshing my app several times, showing incorrect usage numbers, and this over 4 mins. What's the convenience in that? Quote
Splatbugs Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 I have a Deye 5kW inverter and found this excellent link on Github for a Python app to read the data directly from you inverter. I downloaded the code onto my Raspberry PI, changed the config and it worked 1st time. This is also near-realtime and not 5 or 10 minutes late like on the Solarman website. Obviously the raspberry need to be connected to the same WiFi and subnet too. The Python app also provide much more data than the Solarman website. Quote
