Have an app update that I'm just testing. Fixed a few more bugs around not updating after a device reboot, and I also added a couple more widgets to the full (pay) version for reporting environmental savings (tree planted and co2 saved). No change in price of course, still less than the price...
Not sure of this is an issue, a configuration problem or normal behaviour.
I have 3x pylontech batteries, 2 show charge status leds, one doesn't. They all show a flashing run status led and no alarms.

Customisations (plot colours)
Power Use graph
Some changes to improve battery optimisation

Figured this was the best place, I'm really impressed by my Solis Solar Inverter, the app and web interface is generally good, however it's a shame it doesn't have a desktop widget, therefore I wrote an app to do that! (using their access API).
