EG4 6000xp setup questions

[Tripplett]

Thanks, I believe that's what I did too. I will go though that again. Do I do anything special to download/activate the Beta version?

Yes, instructions are here.

I have a new JKBMS. Can it communicate with the EG4 6Kxp?

From what I have read, you can get battery comms between the JK BMS and the 6000XP by adding something referred to as a "Peter Board" but I don't know a ton about it. Anyone else try it?

There is a project in the forum for a single JK (non-inverter) BMS to work with canbus, I had it working on my 6000xp with an earlier version of code (branch of Peter Board): https://diysolarforum.com/threads/jk-bms-can-with-new-cut-off-charging-logic-open-source.79325/

I am now using another project to have 6000xp canbus comms with a Victron shunt using a esp32 and can module. It’s working great so far: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/e...with-victron-smart-shunt-w-diy-battery.80538/

This is strange - I am running exactly the same Beta version and also using the 6000XP, but the Power tab is perfectly functional for me. I have no idea why it is working for some of us but not on yours. Strange.

I am in the group. I have verified my beta firmware and I still do not have the power tab.

I’m on the beta also but the Power tab only has config for 6000xp, no automations or rule tables like on my other inverter.

I am guessing that the controls are still under development but you do seem able to edit some of the inverter settings here.


Thanks

Mine has a few more things, assuming yours does too, just off the page. There's also a MQTT config for Home Assistant or something at the bottom of the Configuration tab, I didn't set that up yet.

Thanks, Tripplet, I have asked SA about this and why I have nothing on the power tab.
