Sure thing, looking forward to it!

Hey Dave,

Things always keep getting interesting! :D

The inverter was stuck on staying On-Line however, the Running State also decided to be stuck on 162: Checking from 6:40PM onwards.

Statetest is also returning 1, but unfortunately, the Load Power etc. values are still populating ...

Hi Dave,

Yes you are absolutely right. It was due to Fox Cloud.

Today the inverter decided to stay online and another special case occurred but luckily you have already placed guard rails to handle such situations. :D

So as the inverter state is still online, the StateTest is still showing "1 ...

Hey Dave,

I have some observation from today.

I have added the screenshots below, however in summary, the last pull was at 6:53PM when StateTest was 1 and load values were updated as well (from logs), however, HA did not recognize that as an update and went to "Unknown " at 6.23PM.

Hey Dave,

Apologies for the delay in reverting back. Here are the logs:

Hey Dave,

So the change is in and currently here is the stats:

Hey Dave,

The update has been installed, and I can see the StateTest variable showing 1 as well. Currently, it is 2:40PM PK Time. As you requested here are the logs:

Okay understood. I'll update this today and keep you posted on the outcome.

Thanks Dave!

Really appreciate it sir!

Hey Dave,
Hope you're doing well.

So the fix you made is working spot on. However, there is one slight observation that I came across today and wanted to share it with you as well:

The running state changed to waiting at 18:23 PM which as a result populated the Load Power etc with "Unknown", but ...

Awesome and great stuff!

Thanks alot Dave, I'll update it today and then keep ypu posted.

Cheers

Super!

Ahh, understood. Yes sir aligned with your plan! :D

And just confirming if I added it up correctly:

Scenario 1:
If the inverter goes offline, the Running state would show 164 i.e., "Off-grid" (a masking to the existing "Unknown" value)

Scenario 2:
If the inverter remains online but the ...

Hey Dave,

It was one of those blessed days today where the Inverter decided to become "Off-line" :D, but something new happened today.

Inverter and Data logger went Off-line at approx. 7PM but the Running State value did not change and is still stuck on On-Grid.

The Load power etc. values ...

Awesome! doing that now and will keep you posted.

Appreciated as always!

Absolutely. I believe the math you did explained it clearly to me, and yes aligned on the fact that the last most recent data point if received would be great to have also

Oh and btw I'm in Pakistan so it is +5 GMT.

Thanks again!

Hey Dave,

Hope you are doing well.

Just an observation from today, however low in significance. As the PV Power values were at 0, the inverter was transitioning to Checking and then Waiting. At 6:28PM it moved to Waiting and that as a result made Load Power, Grid Consumption etc. values all to ...

Sounds like a plan.Just downloaded and installed the release now. Will monitor and keep you posted as well.

Currently the inverter is still showing as Online, and continues to do so after the installation of the beta release but the Load Power, Grid Consumption etc. are now unknown which were ...

This is good news indeed. I was also about to share that the inverter didn't go off-line today.

Really appreciate your efforts, looking forward to it!

Haha yeah, just as we investigate, it goes back to normal behavior. Seeing the inverter go offline for 2 days in a row now.

Sure thing, will await your expert advice after the testing

Oh okay acknowledged. Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes you are spot on. Whilst going through the documentation yesterday, I also saw that the state was changing, but then the datalogger kept receiving data with an Auxiliary tag (Auxilliary TimeSlice).

And when you point out that the data logger ...

Hey Dave,

Sorry for chiming in again. I just noticed that my system was commissioned sometime late 2023. And while going through the FoxCloud x Home Assistant documentation, I noticed that I should be using device ID instead of device SN.

In this case:

Q1. Should I change Device ID in ...

Awesome, thanks alot. Let me share the logs!

Hey Dave,

Unfortunately, the inverter was again stuck on On-line status today. It continues to be Online as we speak. Here are the stats from yesterday to today:

I also wanted to inquire if I can somehow share the log file with you in private, if possible, to debug this issue.
