Thats very cool. 

 

What version of the app are you using? Perhaps Achmat and I are still on older versions.

I think he he is on 1.5.5 but I only see 1.5.3 on the Google play store.

Can you elaborate?

The Solarman app (and its web-based equivalent pro.solarman.cn) is a public interface, the config of your Sunsynk is literally protected by a userid and password. This is considered pretty weak authentication, humans can choose weak passwords and / or re-use passwords across various sites, take a look at https://haveibeenpwned.com. There is 2SV on registration but not on subsequent authentication.

This means that an attacker who discovers your password in a previous data breach, or who successfully guesses your password, can alter the config of your inverter. 

Firstly, when adding this kind of functionality, Solarman should rather make it opt-in, givng the user the choice in taking the risk. Secondly, 2FA should be mandatory for any config changes coming from a publicly available interface.

I doubt the Android update would remove it. Perhaps they disabled it in the app for some reason. I also notice it is no longer available on the web site for me. Perhaps they accidentally released it to everyone and wanted to keep it for the paid for portal.

Hi, 

Has anyone managed to remotely control an inverter using API? As far as I can see in the documentation there is remote control, but there is no list of commands....

I can't see remote control option in the device => inverter in the app, neither in the web. The Solarman Smart app is updated in my iphone
