Tariq 67 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Happened to notice a new feature on Solarman Smart, a button termed “Remote Control “ , I can now remotely change all settings from my phone, tried smart load and system mode, works great, anyone else notice it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Greeff 6 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I just discovered this myself on the web site. I can't find the remote control on the Solarman App. Very cool to be able to adjust settings from the web site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What version of the app are you using? Perhaps Achmat and I are still on older versions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tariq 67 Posted Monday at 05:39 Author Share Posted Monday at 05:39 Yes, I am on 1.5.5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vassen 181 Posted Monday at 06:38 Share Posted Monday at 06:38 For me, I can see the remote control from my iPhone app but on android it’s not available. So it’s a bit strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Greeff 6 Posted Wednesday at 01:43 Share Posted Wednesday at 01:43 Thank you Tariq, this is a very handy feature. The play store has the old version. I downloaded and Installed the version from Solarman, https://www.solarman.cn/enterrace_2.html. With this one I have remote control from my phone. Desh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you link directly to the android API to download as I can't find it there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YellowTapemeasure 55 Posted Thursday at 05:10 Share Posted Thursday at 05:10 42 minutes ago, pete boy said: 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since the android UI3 update this week the remote control feature is now no longer there. Not sure if it's related to the android update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tariq 67 Posted Friday at 06:45 Author Share Posted Friday at 06:45 yep, just noticed, it is not on my Android phone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Greeff 6 Posted Friday at 09:33 Share Posted Friday at 09:33 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.

pete boy 0 Posted yesterday at 03:32 Share Posted yesterday at 03:32 I thought Im the only one who lost the control function. Both app and web. Can somebody relay this to deye? Did they disable it for everyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
