EG4 6000XP - ESPHome

[Shimmy]

The ability going down the road on in gas station to connect directly to the ip on my eg4 and make sure everything is … unless you catch all the data, archive it and all exporting, there is going to be a need for something that is not currently configured … also upgrades for the inverter, and support or the ability to have them review what is wrong with my equipment… I’m sure their are a few more …

I assume you can get this data without disconnecting it from the world and making it the only way in/out… otherwise how did SA would not work. So I prefer the find a method that does not disrupt the existing data.

It's all a balancing act. I have a VPN for remote access, and prefer to avoid cloud services where possible both for security and reliability. With the dongle you give up some of that for convienence.

Does the 6000XP let you split out CAN and RS485 at the battery port on the inverter?

Honestly same here, I've been burned before by IoT devices getting dropped once the profit was gone. Not saying I get that impression from EG4/Signature Solar, but its a matter of principle for me.

Ya know, I have yet to try this, I have been on the v1 LP4 batteries up until recently, so I never had the option of batteries over CAN and the Inverter over RS485, definitely something I will have to mess with...

Checked the manual; pin 1 and 2 are RS485 and pin 5 and 6 are CAN.
