Second user on the same data logger?

I use the SmartESS app for monitoring a Voltronic type inverter. Can I add another user that wants to see how that system works? As for example with Deye Cloud app I can easily add other users to the same data logger .... However this inverter is not a Deye. If no other users can be added to SmartESS, what solution do I have so that a second user can access the data logger? Thank you very much
 
You might want to change your subject to give people a better idea of what you were looking for.

In general, adding another user, if not an option in the software, would mean giving that other user your credentials and letting them log into the app as though they were you. Not always ideal if you just want someone to be able to look and not make any changes.
 
Thank you. Ideally what subject line should I use for this topic?

I am looking at a different solution, one where both of us can monitor same system at the same time or at different times
 
I would look into getting solar assistant if it works with your inverter :

This shows how you can have guest users that only have permissions to view the inverters information and not make changes.


You can have multiple users that can make changes too if you want that. Seems to be a better option.
 
Thank you! Is Solar assistant free of charge? Does it work with just the dongle and the inverter, without raspberry pi or other devices?
 
So basically there are no free options out there that allow 2 different users on the same data logger ...
 
Yes, indeed. I was hoping there is an app out there that allows 2 different users on separate accounts but connected to the same data logger ... Thank you
 
I was just about to ask this same question. It was a pain in the butt to setup in the first place because all of the videos I came across had outdated instructions (even the manual that came with the wifi dongle was incorrect). I hesitated to simply try first without checking in here because of how annoying that was. Maybe I'll just see what happens if I use my credentials on the second device but I'm not hopeful.
