I need some help with my Schneider System

InsideHome uses firmware 1.17 BN79 and I was told not to try 1.18 BN41 which I also have but is not using.

Where can I find the correct firmware for the XW+6848. I use 2.07.00 BN04 but it must be wrong

Schneider Insight Firmware 1.18​

told me there were problems.

Do you know or someone else know what Inverter firmware I should be using and from where?
 
I had issues with 1.18, but it is as entirely operator error. It works fine for me.

I'd recommend going back and making sure you grab the correct split phase firmware from Schneider and update again to the same firmware version.

If you have any XW+, I believe this is the page:

Make sure you read the release notes in the zip file with the firmware.

Schneider Insight Firmware 1.18

I have upgrade my InsightHome device to firmware V. 1.8 and now the InsightHome Dashboard do not display the current Load. Any suggestions? Should I downgrade the firmware to V. 1.17. If so, how. I am ready to upgrade my inverter to XW Pro 6.8. Inverter/Charger: XW5548 Charger: MPPT60...

@n2aws have you any update on InsightHome 1.18 bn41?

Anybody else?

If you contact Schneider, they will insist you update before "trying" to help you.
 
I got it....

I finally found that the unit has 2 different firmwares called almost the same - one for 230 Volt and a different one for both L1 and L2 and 120 Volt. I found the firmware at https://solar.se.com/us/en/product/xw-na-solar-inverter/ and that gave me the solution. Now I have voltage at both L1 and L2 as I should with firmware 2.07.00 BN4 as long as I chose the right firmware
 
Thank you for your help Mister Sandals as we found it at the same time. I will start tests tomorrow with the new firmware and the good readings.
 
I had the single phase firmware so I sent out 230 Volt on L1 and burned a few things at home so my wife is mad at me. The furnace controller went up in smoke so I have a old mercurry one installed rather than the 3 newer ones. Guess I have to fix Monday...

Did you tell her to calm down?

Seriously, its a little surprising that the system didn't figure this out (60hz instead of 50hz?) and stop this from running.
Should it have detected 2x 120V inputs instead of 1x 230V and wondered what's up?

Hopefully the things that got cooked aren't too expensive.
 
Before I start testing - what are typical values under GRID ENERGY MANAGEMENT for the Anti Islanding Disconnect Under Voltage L1L2 Slow set point - should it be in the area of 135 Volt or 250 Volt? Please check your setting and let me know before I start testing
 
Thank you hwy17 - that helps. Now the system is running ok but only on solar as the green LED which should qualify AC1 is not lit. That was my problem before all this started. So why don't I have a green LED light? Any ideas welcome at this time.

Look at the status page like this one and maybe post a screenshot, to see if it's attempting to qualify or not. You can see mine with no grid input says "qualifying" and it stays that way as long as there is no input, unless I put it in a mode to not attempt to qualify.

Anyone with a working system (I have XW+6848) please tell me if the green LED on the Inverter showing incoming AC1 is green or not lit at all even if full solar is available and the unit runs on solar.

My LED is off = AC is present but not within qualifying range it tells me above.
 
I just changed to your values and now it seems to work ok = I have a green LED. What is strange is that if will not qualify if the Frequency is 59 - 61 Hz so it has to be wider to work. Very strange but reality - thanks my friends for helping me.
