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.
@@OffGridBasement ain't nothin wrong with doing that .. in all aspects of life... I wish I had more funds and so on for various projects... but all in good time. keep up the good work. I
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..
HOWdy O-G-B, YUP = I too had to put on my READING Glasses, turn ON a strong Reading Lamp, & retrieve a Magnifying Glass to READ the worthless INSTRUCTIONS ... I just purchased one of these GroWATT WiFi DATA LOGGERS I have been unsuccessful attempting to REGISTER my device GroWATT rejects my attempts at CREATING an account I'll try again tomorrow thanks for your video COOP ...
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!
Yes. I've learned that even though I'm a computer administrator, I still need to read manuals first and not assume I'll be able to figure it out. Thanks for the comment.
That was too funny! Thank you for showing how things can get confusing as well as when they go perfectly.
Glad you enjoyed it!

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 😊
@@OffGridBasement I just bought mine on eBay. A whole lot cheaper than buying new. Still not as cheap as they used to be, but much better than $200+!
You are becoming a star 🙂
Thanks! I'm just trying to keep things truthful. Thanks for the comment 😊

@@davidpatrick1813 Thanks!
Very good 👍 It's not easy huh. 🍻
No. I'm pretty tech savvy and was super confused.
It took me several tries and I finally got my wifi set up as well... I use shinephone.
I felt like I did know what was going on the whole time! Shinephone is pretty nice. Lots of good info. Thanks for the comment!
I just bought that same 48v growatt. I'll be hooking it up this week. What do you think of it?
It really works well so far. I'm still working on getting it permanently connected.
I can not set up my Growatt Wifi
Mine was a pain also.
Crazy. You look sooo much like Eli Manning, even with the glasses......
It's probably because of the hat! Thanks!
does anyone know if growatt has a android issue ? had no drama setting up on my iPhone but my pixel doesn't like it.
Not sure. I've got my Samsung note 20 setup with no problem.
@@OffGridBasement cheers for the reply,I can get it to connect but overnight it disconnects ?
@@OffGridBasement then after it disconnecting I get up today and the app is working ? no idea ?
What is the green light, I'm dying here 😅

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

I can’t even find the WiFi hotspot 😢
That's a bummer. Do you think it's faulty?
I would only use the 2.4ghz, more reliable and you do not need it to use a whole lot of connection.
Thanks for the info and the comment.
