Re: FoxESS H1 - Waveshare - Home Assistant
Yes, thank you.
I have a grid tied inverter which is connected to H1 inverter with a CT clamp. The Fox app shows the grid tied inverter values but does not hold them. Generations from both systems are used to charge the batteries. Please see the images. 8kwh of power has gone into the batteries ...

Re: FoxESS H1 - Waveshare - Home Assistant
Hello friends,
Thank you all for your kind advice. I managed to get it to work. This is how I did it in case it helps anybody else.
The wiring on page 24 in UK-H1AC1-G2 User Manual.pdf pin numbers 1 to 5 go from right to left. However, in the connector itself, pins are numbered 1 to 5 from left to ...

Re: modbus connection to H1-G2
Hello Simon,
Did you manage to get the comms going between Elfin and inverter please?
I have wired it up but no comms.
Any help is much appreciated.

Re: External Solar Edge system monitoring
Hi Dave,
Thank you so much.
I restarted the device and also the inverter.
I don't know much about subnets etc.
The installer has put a tp-link near the inverter which is powered by a cable running from talktalk router. I configured Ufin to use this and this afternoon used talktalk network itself ...

Re: External Solar Edge system monitoring
Hello dear Dave and Ian,
I took the plunge and set up the Elfin EW11. It's powered up and working and I can access http://192.168.6.121/socket.html. Inverter status is NORMAL and I can see it generates power.
1. As in the Elfin guide, I connected RS485A(marked A in yellow) to pin 4 of the ...

External Solar Edge system monitoring
Hello,
I have a Fox system and a clamp is used to get reading from my existing SolarEdge system. However, it does not record the production of this system; i.e. daily, monthly or yearly SolarEdge production. Is there anyway I could access this information please?
Thank you

Re: Warning - Generator 2 CT clamp data not available on web
Thank you so much.
I have set up Home Assistant (tryist), and it does not give the data from SolarEdge. Are you using Modbus please?
Please let me know if you have any instructions to set this up.
Kindest regards

Re: Inverter Self-Power consumption / efficiency
Hello Dave,
Thank you so much. You took your valuable time to answer me in so much details.
Here's my December production, tiny compared to you. I would like to find how much energy the inverter use per day if possible.

Hi and thanks. The lowest cell temp I am taking from the v2 app itself and also the data download from the app - 'CellTemperatureLow/C'. The BMS/'battery' temps and SOC were good as shown. 'Battery reserve capacity' is set at 15% and System Min SOC at 10%.

Re: Cold nights?
Thank you so much for the quick response.
I have ordered the boards and should arrive by Monday. I assume all 5 sides are covered. Did you keep 30cm gap between the batteries and the insulation please?
Thank you so much once again.

Minimum SOC level
Hi,
I am new here.
We installed a Fox H1 5Kw hybrid inverter and a 8.64kwh Fox cube.
The minimum SOC is set to 10% but it keeps dropping to 6% at times overnight.
My understanding was that below10% SOC the inverter will draw energy from the grid and save the battery from damage.
