Re: Battery Offline - Still working but won't take charge / mode scheduler instructions

Hi again, I'm still having the batteries being mostly offline issue (even though inverters are online). It is such a weird one, as most of the time when 'offline' (though not all) the battery still seem to accept the force charge instructions etc - that may be though down to it being the inverter ...

Re: RS485 Connections to Dual Inverters for Home Assistant

Hi again, please ignore the bit about only a single inverter being supported - that is from Nathan's EM integration, not the Modbus integration - my bad! I've progressed a bit, but getting an error on trying to connect to the integration. I suspect this is because the firmware on my inverters is up ...

Re: RS485 Connections to Dual Inverters for Home Assistant

Hi Will, Thanks again for the advice regarding parallel inverters and RS485 above. I've got the wiring done and sourced the 2x modbus adapters. I was just looking at the github readme for Nathan's integration and noted it said "Assumptions/Dependencies These may change as development progresses ...

Re: Dual Inverters Needing Dual Batteries?

Thanks Dave. Yes, still seeing strange effects - battery is discharging to grid as well as house load this morning, despite the system all being in Self Use mode. The installer is going to separate out the stack, so hopefully that will resolve everything. Thanks for your help!

Dual Inverters Needing Dual Batteries?

My installer was re-doing my system today to get our dual-KH10.5 inverters into parallel mode properly. They then saw that some of the house load was being powered by the battery, but some was being drawn from the grid. The Fox guys on the phone suggested that the ECS battery pack needed to be split ...

Re: Hoe to schedule batteries to not discharge

With this Henley block solution, does it mean that solar can never charge the car? I'm thinking of a scenario where there is a multi-day grid failure and you want the car to get some charge....? Is there a way instead to use Home Assistant to get the Octopus Intelligent Go charging times once the ...

Accessing Min Cell Temperatures As Opposed to BMS Temperatures

Hi All, Is there a way to access the min cell temperatures as a graph in either the Fox Cloud or Energy Stats app? I have found the BMS temps and can chart that over time, but the only min cell temps I've seen is that which is displayed when viewing the battery device in the Fox Cloud app - however ...

Re: Battery Offline - Still working but won't take charge / mode scheduler instructions

Many thanks, Dave!

I'll assume maintenance should this happen and try to plan upcoming schedules on a Thursday. I'll probably go the Home Assistant route in the fullness of time, but one step at a time...

Battery Offline - Still working but won't take charge / mode scheduler instructions

Hi All, Bit of an odd one. System installed not too long ago. I've noticed the battery being marked as 'offline' occasionally in the app / cloud portal, but it has typically come back to online status quickly. Today, it has dropped to 'offline' status and is not coming back to 'online'. However, the ...

RS485 Connections to Dual Inverters for Home Assistant

Hi All, I've a recent install of solar + batteries. Due to the array size we are running dual inverters that should be running in parallel. My installer is coming back for a few snags shortly, and I'd like him to wire in the connections for RS485 to the inverters so that, if I choose at a later date ...
