Just hooked up the EG4 3000 EHV-48 to 4s2p 240W used panels off grid to power my Tesla MY & power a few lights during outages.
The SmartESS program is the worst thing I've tried to use in many years, I've never been able to get it to work. Even Will in his vid on the EHV-48 showed he had problems.
Can someone tell me if there is another controller/data logger that will work with this equipment?
Thanks
I had issues with this too. I added and removed it so many times. I also downloaded the SMART ESS Client, there is s similar app, and i did a packet sniff on my network, the device gos to this ip address, so I decided to make an account on it.
http://8.210.123.202/main.html
I then removed the device from that site, which did display info, but the client app is worse than the SmartESS. After i removed it, ( I also had it removed from the first site of the original app.
I then re-registered with the SmartESS app, and added the device again, but I created a new user ID, I believe i used the same email address too.
I still didn't get it to work, but within an hour or two, data started to populate, and the little green icon on the app showed I had a device that was online. FINALLY. Then I used the app to realize that it was useless because you needed o look in the data manually to see the total generated for the day, or used. it did not have that in the graphed section.
there is a 5 minute delay for the wifi device to send data ( 5 minute polling) so almost useless. I will have to find a different solution.
I was using an SRNE 3KW inverter for this set up.
I still do not know why it worked. Bt I think the issue is that the device was not seen on the server, so it adds it to the account, and visible, but it hasnt been on long enough to actually link it. so after creating a new account it must of ben on there long enough. I am only guessing. I messed around with it for two days.
Note that the SmartESS Client app allowed you to atually download csv of all the data. I am looking to find which site will allow me to download it with the Smart ESS app. but no such luck. Seller on Aliexpress says no website for it. I figure if it originally could be found on the one, there must be another way to access the data on web browser. I tried to manually add the device to an account I had on the above IP, and it gave me this error
Failed to add datalog pn : QA5#########70,The number of miner has already existed-(usr: Q*****************5)
# was changed to hid the PN number, but the * at the end was not modified by me. interesting choice of words "miner" ?
What is this device really doing...
