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

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.

now i can change "Time of use, "Smart load", "Charge from grid", etc see attached screenshots

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. 

Yes, I am on 1.5.5 

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.

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.

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. 

yep, just noticed, it is not on my Android phone

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.

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?

if i am right the remote control feature is exclusive to distributors and they have to be approved by deye on the solarman business platform.

The "Remote Control" feature appeared again on SOLARMAN Smart Android app then quickly vanished after 2 days as discussed on the below thread

yes you can - you can change the work mode from the app

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
