Don't stress too much. People love to solve a riddle whether it be a crime, a plane crash or a house fire. And every last one of us feels entitled to be an expert in the process. I see the same thing, but 10 x worse, on AVherald.com where every single person completes the aircraft crash...

Ah, from the comfort of our armchairs, we are all fire investigation experts.

My guess is the alarm thought it was a meter of steam. I hope this fail is reported and the Nest folks are able to correct what clearly went wrong. "Nest Protect is the only alarm with Steam Check. It uses custom algorithms and a humidity sensor to look for steam" I think I'll take a hard...

This is so true. There's little to nothing SA can do once DHL takes possession besides declare it lost.

How did you get this even working? I'm having containers colliding over port usage and general trouble with the documentation. What version of HA did you install on? Thanks for any info! -Bob

Initially, there were four cells flagged, but #18 was not one of them. Now two are left to come into range, but still #18 seems ignored. Why is that? At one point, there were cells flagged with a lower over-voltage than #18. Thanks for any observations. The pack is offline, I have a 60 volt...

The problem is that the entire system is not set up and when it is, it will be 7,400km away. I figured somebody here might have some traffic stats based on their particular setup which could be useful. If they for example have a much more complex system, but bandwidth at or below what I would...

What is the proof of this company engaging in fraud? The video has vanished but the accusing title remains with nothing supporting it.

I can't think of a better first date activity! "Hey, wanna see my graphs?" Where can I read about how to setup an alerting system like you have?

I'm late to the party and haven't read other answers, but I am going to guess this is ground potential rise caused by the strike energizing the ground and sending spikes in through the grounding of the system.

Hi and Happy New Year. I cannot see the bottom side of the battery pack, but wouldn't I see problems with other cells if this was incorrect? -Bob

It is lower now, but it was higher before and there were red flagged cells with lower voltages.

That is great to hear that the insurance company actually does what they are supposed to do. What brand? Your experience is a good endorsement and counter to the usual horror stories.

If you are in the US, the Federal Trade Commission would also like to know about this. But for the fortunate waking of your son, this equipment failure was headed to fatalities. There needs to be a recall here.

Any of them excellent with MQTT and talking to things behind the seemingly impenetrable barriers surrounding the IP exposed to the Internet with SIM cards?

Why do I get the impression that if this was a Canadian company, a Swedish company, a German company, no one would be asking the address of the new office?

What about running a VPN from the router to the outside so that you then can come back into the system over the vpn on the same network?

I have no clue how much data is transmitted when Solar-Assistant is polling my Steca Solarix 5000-48 and I view the results over the web. I think I can set how often it polls, but I don't know what the data output will be because the entire system isn't set up yet. It's just the batteries and...

A friend explains that if the device goes outbound to a broker, that opens the door for replies from publishers. Not sure if that is actually how it works, I will have to try that and see.

Regarding point #1, good luck to you. Dead batteries will be the least of worries among many more serious concerns for those who survive. How about buy another battery back plus spare BMS and alternate it regularly with your on-line battery pack? That way, when the massive emp arrives, you will...

What's been your experience since this post? I really like the capability of this software, but it needs to be consistent. Unlike your experience, I have had excellent tech support for my trial period.

Who are these guys you know and how much $$ do they require?

Why is a new sticker a giveaway to nefarious dealings? I can think of many reasons for a new sticker. New inventory method, different supplier, etc, etc. I think when someone is being accused of a fraud, all of these alternative explanations are holes in the accusation that need to be plugged...

I am also pulling hair out trying to get JK BMS to speak to me. I first tried with RS232 and got the first pattern. Then I tried with RS485 and the strange thing is that the BMS is sending all 00 00 00 00 in pulses. The computer is sending back nothing, probably because it doesn't see the right...

Well, I can say that tech support is pretty ineffective and online material seems non-existent. In my case, I have been struggling to communicate via the windows software. Absolutely no manual provided, so you pretty much have to guess your way through. So far I have tried RS232 with CH340 and...

Hi, how often does it update and does it also show BMS stats? Thank you for this.

Thank you very much! Can you estimate how many minutes a day you access the dashboard?
