H1-5.0-E-G2 (Gen 2) Latest Firmware versions

[JimH]

Hi

Everything was working fine until I got the versions below a short while ago - pushed out by either my installer or FoxESS without a request (this time!)

I now have the "No PV output/export when inverter is set to force charge mode and battery reaches or is at 100% during the scheduler period" issue which I believe has already been fixed on H1 Gen 1 inverters.

Can you advise if there's anything later than these please?

H1-5.0-E-G2 - Master : 1.23 Slave : 1.02 Manager : 1.38

Batteries - ECS2900-2 - Master 1.013 Slaves 1.10

Datalogger - W4 - 4.12

In the (continued but I believe promised?) absence of a FoxESS web support page with latest version and release notes perhaps a "sticky" post with a table all of the latest versions for each inverter and battery type would save you a load of individual requests?

Many thanks in advance,

Jim

Latest H1-G2 firmware has had a few updates, as usual there are no release notes - but with such a young product the latest versions are usually the best to be on.

Master 1.26, Manager 1.42 (Slave the same at 1.02)

Datalogger 4.13

Batteries ECS2900-2 Master 1.015, Slave 1.11

The latest battery firmware has changed the way residual power is reported, so rather than saying whats left in the battery it appears to be the maximum capacity the battery has when at 100% (like a state of health) - this hasn’t been confirmed by Fox, instead found by users but I would recommend holding off on updating them for a while until we know more (your current versions are stable).

The sticky page is a good idea, the only down side being the newer inverters H1-G2, KH and H3 Pro are changing regularly at them moment.

So thats a definite inverter upgrade required

Many thanks Dave - let's hope FoxEss catch up with their 2-day ticket response to the ticket I raised 3 days ago then

Hi,

I also am interested in updated to the H1-5.0-E-G2 firmware. I'm currently unable to set a charging period for my ECS2900-2 battery set (master + 2 extra slaves) from either the front panel, web or phone app.

My firmware versions are:
Inverter :
Master : 1.18
Slave : 1.02
ARM : 1.28

Battery:
BMS : 1.006

I'm not sure which versions numbers are relevant. Many thanks.

These are quite old firmware versions, I would recommend you upgrade your inverter and battery to the latest version.

You can either ask your installer to do it, or email Fox UK service include your inverter serial number and ask them to update your inverter and your battery firmware.
