Ok is a weird one. How many amps are you pulling from your batteries when you get that discharge over current fault?I do not see any faults UNLESS I try to change battery type from Custom to Li-Ion. If I do it, then I get a "Battery Discharge Over Current" Fault, turning off the inverter.
The odd thing to me is, in previous screenshots, he shows the "device" for the battery BMS, and it showed online.. so, he's obviously got it hooked up, and detected them on the bus.Ok is a weird one. How many amps are you pulling from your batteries when you get that discharge over current fault?
Is there no advanced tab to click on when you go to your device. Like the inverter?

Correct, the EG4 BMS is connected and shows under Device List, but nothing beyond.The odd thing to me is, in previous screenshots, he shows the "device" for the battery BMS, and it showed online.. so, he's obviously got it hooked up, and detected them on the bus.
Well, you were right before about EG4 firmware fixing the balancing issues, so yes, I'll take the leap and try resetting the InsightHome device.@Old_Skewler I hate to make this suggestion, but I've seen it resolve various other issues. So, I'd entertain documenting all of your custom settings in the insight device, and then doing a full factory reset. Before you do anyhing else: connect it to your network, and then go into the "detect devices" screen, and have it re-detect your BMS. I noticed in your last insight screenshot, you were on v1.17 firmware, but I think you'll want 1.18b41 because thats the one that understands the "Lifepower4" batteries.
If you re-read this entire thread you'll see that I've been trying to get someone at SignatureSolar/EG4 to clarify whether these BMS settings should be applicable to my SW4048 + EG4 LP combo. I have not been able to get a straight answer on this. So I suspect this is what is missing here, a confirmation that this should also work with my package. I am afraid I am chasing my tail here.Anyway, once you've re-detected your BMS, when you click "Setup" in the green banner bar, you should see "BMS Setup" appear under the "Smart energy manager" menu button. It may take a second or 3 to show up on that page afer you click "Setup"
If that shows up, then I'd proceed to reset all your other settings. If it doesn't, I think we'll want to troubleshoot that next.

@Old_Skewler
Just curious if resetting the insight to factory defaults resolved the issue where the BMS setup screen isn't showing up?
@Old_Skewler Just wanting to make sure we're on the same page.Nope, restarting the gateway didn't change anything other than the order of the devices in the screen. Still no BMS Setup screen showing up.
@Markus_EG4 were you able to clarify internally whether the SW 4048 should also have the same BMS Settings options when connected to a EG4 LP battery? Any updates from your end?
TIA

I mentioned resetting the insight to factory default settings. You mentioned restarting it, which is different.
How did you restart it, can you clarify what steps you took?
