Hello, If you have a Raspberry PI from SA already activated and connected to your "site" here is what I did.
So, I wanted to share how to get SA working with the EG4 6000ex as when I was trying to configure it out I saw little to no information on it. Hope this helps somebody in the same situation. I suspect it would be the same for the eg4 6500s.
In order to get the inverter communicating with SA you will use the "Serial db9 to RS232" cable provided with your new unit. I think this cable was supposed to be used with an external wifi dongle. You will connect this cable with a "USB to Serieal db9" cable. The USB will connect to your SA PI and the RS232 to your inverter connection. On the SA settings you will choose "Voltronic" as your inverter, Once this is done you choose see all the information your inverter will give. Depending if you got rid of the "Fault 61" when trying to use the EG4 protocol to control the battery charge you will also see your battery information. I'm still trying to figure out how to get rid of the "Fault" sooooo here is what I did.
Your SA PI should have another USB port available. When you get your new Raspberry PI add a Cat 5 RJ45 to USB cable to your purchase. You will use this cable to connect the eg4 ll v2 host battery RJ45s port with the remaining USB port on your Raspberry PI. On the SA settings you will use "Emulated BMS" and input your capacity.
At this point you should see all the information from your batteries and inverter on SA. Also, you will be able to control output priority with other neat features. In all honesty the whole "Fault 61" in these inverters has been a headache. But doing this was you can get that out of your worries and control the charging using the user setting but being able to monitor real time your charge status and change in real time your settings.
