I can't get SA to do anything other than read data. I never figured out how to set it up. Honestly, the unit works so well I hardly even mess with it, but every once in a while, I like to tinker.

Make sure you are running the beta version, they have made a lot of improvements.
Under the lighting bolt tab is where the automations are set up.

I am running the 2025-02-08 beta. Probably something I am doing, but I can only read data from my ASF, not make any changes. I can access the edit features, but when I hit save it just spins for as long as I feel like watching it without doing anything.
I updated 47 and 48 to run from 12:01AM to 10:00AM, so I will see if it works tomorrow. If that works, I might add the 5:00PM to 11:59PM next, but I would rather not have the unit flip the transfer switch twice at midnight if I don't have to. Not sure why SRNE set it up like that.

I remember reading you have to connect with the SRNE PC software or WiFi dongle and login one time to make some changes with SA. If you reboot you have to login again.
I was able to adjust charge current and switch priority, through SA, with my ASF but couldn't make voltage changes. I never did get around to logging in so could make other changes.

Home assistants connector has the password setting in it so it can modify everything pretty much and it can retrieve data solar assistant can't.
For example that nice megawatt reading we all like looking at its viewable in home assistant if it connects directly to the unit in place of solar assistant.
Found this in my notes on making solar assistant work with srne :
password needed for changes via sa and stuff
Via PC software or the solarman app, option 65 password = 11111
As long as you don't power the inverter(s) off, you don't need to put the password in again.
ETA: If you have the inverters paralleled, only one needs the password entered. Everything on one inverter propagates to the other.

Setting 47 and 48 to run from 00:01 to 10:00 worked perfect. The unit switched over to battery at 00:01 and then switched back to grid at 10:01. Now I am curious if I set 49 and 50 to switch to battery at 18:00 and then switch back to grid at 24:00 if it will switch at all between 2400 and 00:01 or just stay on battery. I know you mentioned using 23:59, but I would think I could use 24:00 on one set of instructions or the other. Trying to avoid the unit switching at Midnight for no reason.

I couldn't find anywhere in the iPower program to enter a password. It has a screen to change the password, but no place I can find to "login". Maybe I am just not seeing it.

I think you definitely could change the 0:01 to 0:00
I have never installed the software so all I can do is post the notes I collected on what others did on that part.
Just playing it safe is why I set it like that
I know it has to be inside the same day for sure. As for the 1 minute part it was just making sure.
Well end of day netted me this :
So brought in 44.1 kWh
Put 30kWh into the battery too.
I guess theoretically if I had of added some loads I could of made 65 or 70 kWh. It just stops making anything once the battery gets full.

My best day so far was 71.5kWh on Wednesday. This year will be interesting because it is really the first full year of having all my panels online. My main array is not optimal as my roof is facing 210°SW with a 26.57° (recommended is 180°S and 30.4°) and I do have trees which clip the early morning and very late afternoon. My guess is that I will actually get more hourly output in Spring and Fall, but less hours. I probably could have turned my house the 30°, but it would not have lined up aesthetically and the 26.57° is just standard 12/6 pitch.

my best day so far this year was today with 66kWh generated. At 9:30am, my (40kWh) battery was at 89% and would have been full by 10:30am as I was charging with over 7kWh already (almost 20% per hour). So I charged the EV from 52% to 95% (I don't like the car to go to 100% to allow for regenerative breaking). At 2pm, everything was full, even the Yeti 1400Wh portable unit.
The gried-tied system also did good. 28.2kWh from 21 year old 5kW panels.
I'm thinking with going into summer, we need a 2nd EV, but my wife loves her 2024 Bronco too much.
I have a discharge period ending at 00:00 (midnight) and a charge period starting at 00:00; that has worked fine for me with the ASP. I think you'd be able to use 00:00-10:00 and 18:00-00:00 to avoid needless switching at midnight.
By providential timing I needed to do this last night (extend the discharge period beyond midnight). I decided to use the opportunity to test the midnight transition. I stood in front of the ASP's display and observed the status as its displayed time advanced past midnight. There was no change in the displayed inverter operation mode (stayed in discharge mode) nor was there any relay clicks (transition from inverter output mode to grid passthrough mode and back to inverter output mode). It worked exactly as it should.

Sweet! Thanks for testing that. I have been too lazy to do it, mainly because I didn't want to stay up to midnight, although now that I think about it, I could have just reset the clock to force midnight in the middle of the day. I will update the setting tomorrow.

Did your screen glitch out / fail?
no it's fine. just staying on

It was one of those days today... Good for solar, not so good for roofing my garage... 73kWh today

Hold on a sec, you're using yours to export?

I was thinking the same .. red curve down there
They do export.
