Do you happen to know what this new KH update brings?

I upgraded my KH10 to the first version that enabled forced discharge. I then upgraded to the following edition which fixed some issues I had with force discharge. At the same time It seemed to reduced my peak production.
I had been seeing over 11kW (11.7 to be exact on the 7th April), even though it should only be capable of 10kW. After the most recent update I am seeing peak production at 10.5.

I'm not complaining as such as I'm still effectively getting more than I paid for, but it's still disappointing none the less.

Would be interested to know if you have any information on the features/fixes that come with today's new version.

Thanks again. Screenshot_20240407-105642.png

Master 1.16
Slave 1.01
Comms 1.11
How do I go about getting these updated? Bearing in mind, I only know 3 things about solar: what the panels are, what the batteries are and what the inverter is! lol! Hopefully it will be easy enough, as I haven't got an installer to do it for me. I managed to install the fox cloud on my PC, so maybe you do it through that?
Thanks for any info,
Cheers.

Hi,

The latest versions are Master 1.34, Manager (Comms) 1.27, Slave 1.01

You are quite a few versions behind, most are minor bug fixes but it has the addition of scheduling (the ability to do force discharge/charge and change work modes at set times of the day).

If you have agent access to the system, you can do it from the Foxesscloud website (via the menu item Inverter Remote Upgrade).
You have to copy and paste your inverter serial number into the search box and then it will list your inverter, select it and then click 'Upgrade' - you have to give it a task name, which firmware you want to do, set the timeout to 45 seconds (it's a bit fiddly but you'll get the hang of it).

Update the Master first and wait for it to complete which will take a while, once it's finished you can then do the Manager, that takes even longer (maybe 20 minutes) - and then when it's done after approx 5 minutes you'll see the latest versions shown on the website - your inverter panel will show immediately.
The inverter will do a restart during the Master upgrade.

If you haven't got agent access, by far the easiest way (assuming you have a datalogger connected) is to email foxess service and ask them to upgrade your inverter and they will do it for you.
