Solar panel convertor . What to install ?
I am looking for a solar inverter that does not depend on any cloud services.
A friend of mine has a first‑generation SMA controller that works over Bluetooth and via an AUX port to access logging and historical data. I would like a similar type of system where you are not forced to use SaaS software for monitoring and control.
Another friend has a Huawei inverter with the Huawei Solar app, but it frequently glitches and is unreliable. On top of that, Huawei provides practically no support. If you contact their helpdesk with a Huawei serial number, the response is basically: “Sorry, we cannot help, it is out of warranty.”
Which current brands allow you to set up and operate an inverter without the cloud, and that fit well with the Home Assistant philosophy (local control, local integration)?
