I have a vague recollection that somewhere in this thread it was mentioned that you had 3 tries. Not going to reread 100 pages to find out how good or bad my memory is.

It's 3 times..

Is it a typo on the initial screen that mentions 6 digits?

No idea, not mine

 

[ricardocello]

The first screen says 6-digit code.
The next screen clearly takes 5 digits.
They can’t even keep bugs out of their kill software. Great bunch of guys.

So, they only gave two weeks for people to update to the new firmware before shutting them all down?

That seems a bit risky, unless the units are automatically upgrading every hour, in background, given an internet connection. Any who had not already been upgraded by the time "D-Day" had arrived would be fully warned to disconnect from the internet and allow no further updates.

 

[Qbar]

After the mudslinging and name calling……. Three questions
1) did in fact inverters get shut down remotely? Yes, no, maybe?
2) can it happen to anyone else? Yes, no, maybe?
3) what will each person/entity do about it? Disconnect before it happens, wait for it to happen, don’t really care if it happens?

A similar thought algorithm can be applied to most things in life. Don’t you think?

Just a note of sanity in a seemingly insane world.

I recently installed a 12kw I don't even know where I threw that dongle

You are absolutely right, you do not need to prove anything.
I am suspicious in part because you have been a member since October 13th 2020 but have only posted 15 messages, all on this thread. You do not appear to have participated in any way anywhere else on this forum. I would assume as a Deye owner you would have posted messages on other threads concerning Deye inverters. There are a number of threads related to Deye inverters on this forum.

I do hope that @Will Prowse and the Administrators of this site can at least validate the legitimacy of the participants in this thread.
I assume that the backend database keeps track of logins and the activity of members. Particularly member searches and the threads they are interested in. It all seems to convenient. I do tend to be suspicious, maybe overly so....

Sorry, man, but I disagree. I joined I think a couple of years ago when I started looking. My house is taking longer to get finished than I expected, so I haven't posted in a while. Once I get my system up and running, say in a year or so, I likely won't be posting often, either. As it is, I haven't posted in months, and before that, it may have been a year?

Far more suspicious would be someone who joined in November 2024. IMHO.

I don’t know anyone who has any problems. All dongle-less installs.

I wonder if anyone in the US is wants to get rid of a bricked 12k Deye inverter I need it for parts
