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.

Much ...

Yes, you have a point here which I would further like to play around and test with. From the router that was provided by the ISP, there are wired connections leading to the laptop HA is running on, however, I also have a TP Link Mesh Router network of 3 nodes and that is also connected by the same ...

Hey Dave,

So the inverter status today at sunset changed to Offline. I am sharing some actions I performed after you inquired about potential internet / bandwidth / connectivity issues:

1. Switched the laptop from static IP to dynamic. HA however is still on a static IP address.
2. Removed ...

So my integration involves a laptop that was lying around in the house and is above the minimum specifications required to run Home Assistant on a Windows based machine.

For the internet part, the same laptop is on ethernet connection with a thought to keep connectivity on point always.

And then ...

Just found this error while I was going through the Logs again, somehow missed it.

Apologies for not mentioning that the integration I am running is HACS -> Fox Cloud.

App and Fox Cloud website, both showing Inverter and the Datalogger as Offline.

Fox integration with HA also running latest, i.e., 0.43

Hey Dave,

Thank you for your response. Here are some stats you requested for. I also saw a holding pattern for Grid Consumption and Load Power sensors where they would continue to report the same values as were being populated as the sun was setting, for the rest of the night, until the next ...

Hi All,

I have been experiencing a weird phenomenon since 29th January 2025. After the recent HACS update and HA Core updates, I started to see Load Power values populating even when the sun was set. I was unsure and double checked the "FoxESS Inverter" sensor value and was showing "Online" at 8PM ...
