  • I'm now struggling my way through setting up the Wi-Fi for the Growatt All-in-one inverter. I probably should've read the directions, but it was just too small of a font for me to read! I should've used a magnifying glass b/c the setup is a bit confusing.

    That was too funny! Thank you for showing how things can get confusing as well as when they go perfectly.

    Trust me, you will be much happier running Solar Assistant rather than the Growatt WI-FI, you do need a RASPI to run it on. I learned this the hard way, my dongle is now sitting in a box.

      I feel like RaspPi's went way up in price in the last year so I'll wait a bit before switching over. Thanks for the info 😊

    Sure you will get it all working in the end.🤠 Might not be right time ,but what interest me is can you use the smart battery with like a dumb batt no CAN or communications 48v invertor like say the freezer set up.. Maybe never seen anyone use a sever rack batteries same way you use say you Chins..

    • @OffGridBasement
      @OffGridBasement  2 года назад +1

      Yes you can. You would just need a bi-directional battery monitor. The CAN and RS485 connections are just advanced features, not necessary.

      All so true. Bummer about the data logger not working. I'm guessing you've removed everything and tried everything again multiple times, huh? Good luck in your adventure!
