    I setup the Sonoff device and connected it to the generator control circuit When the battery SOC drops to 80%, the generator control circuit closes and activates the Sonoff device. The Sonoff device switches on the receptacle outlets and a 24/7 Nite Lite turns from beige (off) to blue (on)...

    For my business, I don't feel comfortable relying on one internet provider. In Panama we have a lot of outages and Murphy's Law tells me that when I have a project due in the USA with a critical deadline that is exactly when an Internet outage will occur. I need Internet to upload...

    I have high speed internet from both my phone carrier and my cable provider. I use one for business and the other for my smart home/cameras. I also setup a separate router for solar only that I can disconnect from the Internet without disconnecting anything else. The only IP addresses on...

    I was not expecting to see this message from Solar Assistance when I checked my system status: I don't think Solar Assistance Orange has the Bluetooth feature. Strange message considering that Solar Assistant is supposed to work without the internet. Both Solar Assistance and the Luxpower...

    One nice thing about the Solar Assistant software is that it provides a second opinion. When Luxpower software indicates that my inverters are not working, which happens frequently. I use to panic and go outside and check both inverters. Now I can simply check Solar Assistant instead and...

    Will Prowse was demonstrating the EG4 from Signature Solar, so I assume from your reply that is what you meant. If so, they have various discounts and run many specials, so sign up for their email list to get $50 off on your first order in addition to other discounts.. One discount that is not...

    There are several videos on YouTube about the Luxpower software and Luxpower inverters. Since your main interest is the software, this is an overview about the Luxpower software and it is only about 2 minutes: Video on the Luxpower inverter and yes, EG4 is Luxpower: 18K is the permissible...

    I have a whole house system and the power load matches the non essential load, Solar Assistant is designating all load as non-essential, since I have no designate essential loads panel. I believe all the graphs are correct. Where the "load power essential" was showing a draw is between 9:30 to...

    My whole house is connected to the 2 hybrid inverters. I have no electrical panels for nonessential loads. Today is the first day that Solar Assistant seems to be working. I have no previous experience with Solar Assistant and I am not able to answer your question. Someone else needs to...

    Deleted my post about when Luxpower software is going to edit their software. I was wanting Luxpower software to show the last 24 hours, which is already being shown on the monitor menu. The graphs are just showing historical records for each day. The software is excellent just the way it is.

    Received another reply from Solar Assistant: If you update to the latest beta version, you are unable to return to an earlier stable version. You need to wait until a stable version has a later release date than the beta version. Since my Solar Assistant isn't working as shown below, there...

    Using Batteries for EPS

    I appreciate the response. Again I have no experience with solar batteries. The FPE graph in my post above was to demonstrate that >DOD reduces battery life. Since my batteries are only for EPS, I was just trying to verify that maintaining SOC=100% to SOC=88% is not going to damage my...
