All jk bms's brought into HA using battmon and bluetooth.

Just finished my Battery dashboard in home assistant

Awesome!! Glad to see it worked for you

Your energy dashboard will be a mess for the first day due to it thinking you have collected your entire pv enery in in one day but it cleans up the next

That was my exact problem. I exported my historic data and flashed a new sd card with a recently downloaded SA image and re imported my historic data on the new setup and it fixed the problem

here was there response to my email

now I am running 2023-08-16 And it has been running fine

Ya? Did you get it working?

Fixed it I leave this here in case any one else has this problem. It was due to corruption on my 5 year old sd card. I figured this out when I exported my historical data and re imported it. That fixed the problem. I went ahead and put in a new freshly flashed sd card and imported the...

Everything is working including the solar assistant side all metrics are reporting correctly except for pv energy and battery in and battery out. I wish I had more info to give Solar assistant is not very forth coming with logs. System works everything reports and records fine except for these...

2 days ago my solar assistant pv energy entity fell to 0 and will no longer increment on my 2 lv2424's. Any ideas on what to do to fix this. Reinstall SA ?

I bought mine from signature solar and they came freight the cost was not too bad I bought 8 180 watt panels and with freight they where about 55 a panel and they are all in spec

Well to there credit I called and cancelled the order and did receive the refund

Just got off the phone with them and had them cancel and refund me apparently they where not in stock like the website said they where and they where waiting for there stock from china to get there. I emailed them 3 times with no response. Not a great experience for me. YMMV

Any one else had any interactions with them. I ordered 2 communication boards from them on July 12th and there still not here and they said they where in stock when I ordered them. After calling them they said they where not in stock and they where waiting for there shipment to be released from...

Im still waiting after 2 months for parallels boards for my lv2424's

For reals it takes forever to reboot

WHY? WHY did you have to send me down this road of Home Assistant? Its like an addiction, or a bad relationship where its not great but she does a lot of what you want even though she is unstable. All kidding a side Home assistant is pretty awesome if you want to put in the time. I just wish it...

I have yet to use the power management features but it connected with the Victron smart shunt right off the batt.

A Darlington transistor or two transistors in a Darlington array would do that as well. I have used them to close a relay off of the power of an led so when the warning light came on it closed a relay that turned on the buzzer...

Quite a few actually

Watchpower is the worst program ever written imho. If you like it great if you need an alternative Look up solar assistant. Its not free but worth the 50 bucks

An ssr seems overkill for low current switching and can get spendy. what about just a normal relay ? Or an enclosed relay like a pam4 https://www.amazon.com/Spaceage-10AMP-SPDT-POLARIZED-RELAY/dp/B00IIVALFW/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=pam4&qid=1628366544&sr=8-1

Hook up how ? Series or Parallel. What is your goal do you want to make a 24volt battery bank out of them or a 12 volt ?

I'm looking up the specs on this panel and I don't see a "Cutoff Voltage" spec The max system voltage is 1000 volts. If you hook them up in parallel the short circuit current spec on the panel I am assuming is the series fuse rating which means you would have to fuse the series panels at the...

I am assuming the answer is yes But I will ask before I go through the work. I have 2 LV2424's They are wired into the house panel through a transfer switch. Also wired to the transfer switch is my generator. My question is should I put an isolation relay between the inverters and the generator...

Yes but the voltage is higher so put them in 4s the voltage would be 14.6. That way you can charge at a higher current. I have a charger that can give me an 80 amp charge so it goes much quicker

I usually throw on a bms and charge them to almost full then top balance it goes quicker

Solar assistant is amazing I have been using it for about a month now. Easy to set up and just works. Although there payment methods kind of sucked but well worth the money

That looks pretty legit. I like the design of this battery. Those cells look pristine.

If it helps I use that exact buck from drok and it works well for me in my solar generator I use at work. I use the regulator to power my laptop and unitary controllers for programming if they don't have power in the field yet. I have used this arrangement for a few years now and it has been fine.

Is your inverter switch on ? The one on the bottom of the unit. They will not charge if the inverter is on

Well I would like something I can edit. I think they really missed the mark by not opening this up for the ability to customize the dash boards. And I cant gain root to get in ssh wise and edit the scripts
