Re: Battery offline with no data
Mine has now come back online, but I had to go to "WLAN Configuration" and reconnect to my home network. Furthermore, the missing data from yesterday and this morning have now transferred across and are in the Energy Analysis charts.

No amount of pressing rest or rebooting changes the flashing rate.
:D I contacted my installer who spoke to FoxEss who recommended using THE ‘WLAN CONFIGURATION’ and reconnecting to the house network.
This worked immediately., and missing data has been restored too.
I see London2000 did the same thing.

The app is now refreshing every few seconds now too.
Re: Battery offline with no data
Glad to hear you both got it working after sorting out WLAN config, and posting back helps those that are still struggling to connect.

There is a modbus TCP option, but I can't figure out if my inverter doesn't support it, or Fox won't let it be enabled.
I believe if your inverter ends with '-WL' then you can use the modbus TCP option. It works for me :)

CheerZ..
I set this up yesterday as I have a WL inverter. I followed Will's guide here starting at 19:30. Just pick Direct LAN and put the ip address of the inverter when it prompts you.
Re: Battery offline with no data Again
Hi

Not sure if the same has happened again but system has all stopped reporting again. Just happened.

Working ok here, Cloud updated at 17:52, and I waited for 17:57 for it to upload to Cloud.
Try and wait it out 30-60mins, see if others report failure.
Re: Battery offline with no data
Working ok here in the UK
Re: Battery offline with no data
Hi

I am in the UK. The Inverter panel has no alarms and says Normal. The transponder item plugged into the inverter underneath ( sorry not sure what it's called) is pulsing red as normal.

Datalogger


To summize yesterday...

The data was being sent to Fox, apart from a small data loss (at least how I see the graphs)

They didn't allow the data to flow out to us, so we see empty graphs for hours (that later populated) and the Home/Grid/PV/Battery values went blank

Locally, the system carried on with it's prior stored instruction for work modes/programmed charges etc

Re: Battery offline with no data
@rolotwix12

Is yours still down today then?
I guess the system is still flakey.
Re: Battery offline with no data
Hi

It was working ok up until about 1 hour ago.

Up and down a lot for you then, I do hope it improves in next few days.
And thanks for posting the support response up.
Re: Battery offline with no data
Any official word? Communication has been awful. I'm on day 3 going into day 4 of being offline. Tried all the fixes suggested; resetting the system, redoing the WLAN, using the website ect. The notification 2 days ago said service would be restored in a few hours.

Not sure about official word from Fox, but I suspect the majority of users are working fine now.

Can you expand on the system being offline?
Details on what your system is could help, Inverter/Datalogger/Battery.
Can you see everything, just the battery is showing offline currently for example.
Re: Battery offline with no data
Mine was off line yesterday afternoon for about 4 hours. Seems to be ok today. The mail I had from Fox seed to imply there maybe issues for a few days.

Sure. I have a KH7 / 3x EP5s with an 8.4kw array. It went offline at the same time - roughly 12:30ish a couple days ago. The inverter and batteries are offline, the WLAN / datalogger is online. I've got a slow blinking red light on the WLAN. It's been this way solidly since the downtime started, with no periods of reconnection.

Like I said earlier, I've tried all the community fixes. There's no modbus or any automation installed so I'm reliant on the app / website.

The system is working absolutely fine with no errors. It's just that connection to the fox cloud.

Thanks for the system details.
The only good news is the system still works, I presume your batteries are charging up ok?
So on the website, you can see just the WLAN logger in devices, and the Inverter and battery exist, but show offline?

Trying to picture what you see locally in my head.

Everything is working fine, batteries are charging and discharging well.

Correct, both exist but are offline. Here's some screenshots.

It's especially disheartening to head that others systems connection issues have been resolved. I feel left behind if it is the case that it's been resolved.

My frustration is the lack of official communication, if there are still fixes to be made on their servers, fair enough. I'm happy to wait but right now, I feel like I'm in the dark.

I know it could be a pain, but can you let us know the things you have tried. If you don't wish to (and I wouldn't blame you!) then that's ok, you can try to contact Fox/Installer for help.

Sure, and from the outskirts I want to say thank you to you for taking the time to try and help.

Unfortunately I don't have comms with my installer.

I will have to try to contact Fox.

Things that I've tried:

Full system restart twice
Reconfiguring the WLAN
Trying to access data via foxcloud.com

That's ok, it would be nice if we can get it working.
The only drastic suggestion I have is to nuke your 'plant' and try and add your equipment back.

I presume in the https://www.foxesscloud.com/v2/login if you click on devices, does it show your hardware or is it missing items/serial numbers?

If possible a screenshot of that location on the website would be great if you can.
