I also like the way SA let you do stuff on the OS.... grin
In october 2022 it crashed without reason. I just tried to clone the card in order to move onto a bigger card.
when inserted in the RPi, it didn't start at all.
I lost 6 months of historic data.
Yesterday I thought it crashed again. No ping, no port open and I have it on wired connection just to avoid wifi issues.
I did not hope it will start again. After 3 -4 power-on's it ran and the history was there even if the http/mqtt service was not running
I turned it off and did a backup with AOMEI. Not sure if the backup works.
A backup feature is really mandatory (usb local, samba, cloud... whatever)
... and probably an auto-restart option after 5 minutes if pinging the DHCP server fails ot check if the httpweb/mqtt services are running and restart them if necessary.
So the product lacks some safety measures.
(I rely on the data from SA for the Home Assistant to power on DHW or heating buffer heater loads.
If the SA became unavailable, the battery SOC and PV power remains static on HA so that HA does not know the real SOC and PV power went down to and to command stop of the heater. That is my diverter)
SSH access would open a lot of options (backup script for example or install/configure samba service).
will it work?

for sure we need a user/pass login credentials.
Can we find the user from the OS or add a user in some configuration file?
