    Solar Assistant (Possibly) Voids Warranty on EG4 Inverters?

    Regardless of the UPS, you said you use a "wall wart" 5V AC power adapter. You didn't have any risk of 32V to begin with. This thread has been discussed problems people could have in general, but don't apply to your original question/scenario.

    Sol-Ark needs a serious Change!

    I'm intrigued by the solution you have. As far as i know DB9 ports isn't usually used as a power source. Which DB9 pins did you get power from on the Sol-Ark and what is the voltage?

    Growatt 6000T - RJ45 to RS485 pinout - Help

    I believe the RS485 can be used to read the inverter, as long as your manual describes it as a parallel or expansion port instead of the BMS port. It should probably work with PV Keeper and/or SolarAssistant. https://www.ginverter.com/list-20-2.html

    Jbd Bms Rs485 address - Guru needed - Solar Assistant

    Good point, with bluetooth each JBD should be readable individually. What software or utilities do you use to read the JBDs via bluetooth? Is it the mobile app, or is there something you are running from a computer or Raspberry PI?

    Jbd Bms Rs485 address - Guru needed - Solar Assistant

    With a protocol such as modbus each device has an address. The read command always contains the address to read from so even if all the devices receive the message, only one will respond. If you look at the JBD read command it doesn't contain a way to specify from which device you want to...

    Sol-Ark - Inverter Monitoring

    If your inverter is reading your battery via the RS485 then yes a splitter won't work for you. Even if the inverter is just set to read from RS485 and you connect SolarAssistant to the port it can't read from it. That leaves you with only one monitoring port, the WiFi/RS232 port. Some of the...

    Solar Assistant - data logger

    I would start by ensuring you are on the latest release. The changelog for the latest version lists fixes for both LV/LVX inverters and Solar first mode, both seem like what you are describing: https://solar-assistant.io/help/updates/changelog
