The beta release has been saying the same things for the last two release cycles, don't know what's up with that.

Hi fips, I did that and everything above, but when I log in into ssh and enter "1234" as passwort it says "Permission denied", can you provide me an acual password hash for "superuser" or something like this, please?modify shadow
1.line:
/etc/shadow
root:$y$j9T$ENxjb9crH9Rf43ZvEU5K//$gUc0L1WSGNRiLA5a1w5vxKONSaa2LrxThvcoyShmVh8:1
so root password will be: 1234
reboot and ssh into your solar-assistant ip as root and password: 1234
easy
I'm using the OrangePi-3-lts Image, there is no cmdline.txt in the boot partition, and he is booting into an gui and starting chrome with 127.0.0.1
Any idea how to boot into bash?
And by the way, since I changed that root:... line in the /etc/shadow, it is no more possible to reboot or shutdown through the web gui anymore... So they do it somehow with an script, may be there is the original root password?

Ok, get it done by myself, opened the sd-card in an other linux system:
First removed the password check in /etc/passwd from
to
then in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (only the changed lines)
after that just boot and login with ssh as root, no password check, then you can change password for root to something else:
Now you have a password for root that you know. No change in etc/shadow needed, but you don't even need that, just put back the "x" in /etc/passwd and everything is as before.
First removed the password check in /etc/passwd from
INI:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
INI:
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bashthen in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (only the changed lines)
INI:
Port 22
PermitRootLogin yes
#PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords yes
UsePAM no
#AllowUsers solar-assistantafter that just boot and login with ssh as root, no password check, then you can change password for root to something else:
Bash:
root@machine# passwd
New password: [desired password]
Retype new password: [desired password]@PanicMan I followed your example to change the solar assistant root password. But, after modifying /etc/passwd and /etc/ssh/sshd_config files as recommended and rebooting with the modified files, I'm still getting password challenges on login via ssh and can't log in. Am I missing something? You did not need to make changes to the /etc/shadow file, right? Running the latest (2023-08-16) SA software.

Any more info? The change log is a bit vague on it.
You can automate various inverter setting (output priority, solar priority, charge priority, charge current, etc..) seen in image attached. They can be set based on up to two conditions listed on other image attached (Time, Battery voltage, SOC, etc…).

One thing that's annoying me now that I have a battery on my tp6048 is no time till empty measurement. Home assistant does as does all of the bms and shunt tools. But solar assistant just shows x percent per hour.
ANNOYING !!!

Thanks. Will be interested to take a look when it is released.
I suspect however I will be remaining with my own automations as they also incorporate data from my grid-tied PV, grid import/export, solar PV forecasts and I also auto adjust whether to use supplemental grid charging and at what rate.

Do you have something already in Home Assistant that shows your time to empty?

I scrolled down and saw add automations. Not sure if the functions are different based on inverter model. I’m using an EG4 inverter. The screen I see is different from yours.

Hmm, maybe it's only currently supported on specific inverters. I've got a Sol-Ark 15K.
Would you mind posting a picture of your screen from a computer so I can at least see what it looks like?

Could still be in development phase since pictures look totally different.
Last week I emailed Solar Assistant support with some specific inverter issues I had, and they allowed me to use these automations a few days earlier.
Upon reading the latest beta release this morning, I assumed it’s the same since “automation functionality” was added to the Solar Assistant Beta Change Log.
Not sure if it’s specific to my inverter or if not released yet. Sorry for the confusion.
Yep. I just don't have home assistant accessible to the net which I do have setup for solar assistant.
