Your WiFi dongle on the EG4 requires not only your home WiFi signal to be good but it also requires your home WiFi router have a working internet conn...
Did you have your CT set to reverse before you did the system update and now they are defaulted to not reversed? I had moved my CTs and thought I ma...
@weertske then if you are willing to go without the WiFi dongle, I would go back to that and use the RS485 which is shared with the WiFi instead of th...
@weertske if you are using the RS485 port with the RJ45 connector(eithernet) then that shares with the WiFi dongle IIRC. I'm using the 2nd RS485 por...
@weertske I do not have any parallel devices, just the 18KPV so maybe EG4 is using that rs485 port for parallel comms and there's too much traffic on ...
@weertske I'm just running PPG on an rPi with it setup to send MQTT messages to a Mosquito MQTT server and then I have Home Assistant pulling the MQTT...

@timmann that's a big load to cover so I can see the need for lots of panels and batteries. Hopefully that 18kPV is enough for all that output. I rebu...
@timmann thanks and wow, sweet setup. I've only got 3 16kWh DIY batteries, an EG4 18kPV and 16 400W panels. But gives us enough to go without using an...
@timmann sorry, I forgot that #2 was Pylon specific and that is the one you want since Basengreen doesn't add anything extra to their Pylon protocol l...
@timmann I have v2 of the Basengreen DIY battery too. FYI, the cells are 314Ah so you calculate total capacity/storage by multiplying by 51.2V so we ...
It's only a 3 ton HVAC condenser but I've read that there can be high harmonics when HVAC condensers, heat pumps or well pumps kick on.Does anyone hav...
