FoxESS Community - Owners & Installers Forum

Hello!

After losing power to my house (because it runs off the EPS output of my KH10.5) I discovered the inverter just had an update pushed to it which I did not request from my installer, nor from Fox, nor from the app itself (which only a week ago appeared the option to request an update manually).

It pushed me thusly:

Went from Manager 1.37 to 1.58
Went from Master 1.41 to 1.60
'Slave' unchanged at 1.01

This has never happned to me before (2.5 years on). I previously have emailed Fox UK support and requested an update.

Anyone else had this experience?

Is it correct 'slave' still sits at v 1.01?

I have a call in to my installer to see if he pushed it. Thanks for any insights!

Check the same question I asked about the Slave.

Thanks for the link.

The strange thing is, after writing that, I noticed that the app update area shows that one "upgrade" is available and that is to take 'slave' from 1.01 to 1.02.

I haven't pushed that 'Upgrade Now' button yet but it is tempting so at least all three are up-to-date.

Oh, now I see that my data logger (W4 type) has an update available from 4.12 to 4.14. "Upgrade Now"???

<edit> I did it. Was quick and seems to still be working.

Are you on 'slave' 1.02 with your KH? I may push the button so at least I'm in control of the timing.

Yes I am on v1.02

Cool, thanks! ... I figured since 1.02 is the listed current version and it was offered I should keep the versions in-sync with each other. So I pressed the update button in the app and it successfully updated. That update did not cause a full inverter reboot so it didn't cause problems. I'm not sure if it's the manager or the master that causes the full reboot which kills the EPS output.

Makes sense that you are now up to date, at least mine has carried on working.
