I live in Karachi and we experience a lot of load shedding. When lost on grid power, it usually switches to battery without a flinch. This time it restarted itself. No faults on the app. Any reason why this happened?
Hi all,
Looking for some advice as I've run into a bit of a brick wall. Had my Foxess batteries and inverter installed in January this year, all worked fine with the batteries able to discharge at 5kw if required. However I recently had a stale work schedule that stopped me from creating or changing any schedules at all.i contacted Foxess and they noted that my firmware was out of date and updated it. From this point on the inverter won't discharge at anything greater than 3kw but still charges at 5kw.
I've contacted Foxess as well but they're saying it's probably a faulty install or a ct clamp not being installed correctly and I need to get my installer out to fix it. Im not sure how this can be the case as it was working fine before and I have the data to show it. But I contacted my installer asking for.their advise but they have gone radio silent and I can't get ahold of them.
Anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions?
When on "Force Charge" during free electricity period of 11am-2pm, if the battery gets to 100%, the solar stops generating as if it's being blocked by the inverter? The house demand might be 5-6 kw as this is the time that the washing machine or the dishwasher is on as well as the A/C.
Is this the normal thing to happen? Why can't the solar panels pass the electricity being generated to the house?
Hi all, I'd really appreciate some help in getting set up with local control of my KH10.5 inverter.
I've installed Proxmox on a mini PC to run Home Assistant.
I got my installers to run ethernet cable from the "WiLAN" dongle that came with the inverter which gives wifi access via fox cloud and also a fixed ethernet connection but also via fox cloud.
They also ran a spare cable (CAT 6) alongside as I think we got -our wires crossed-(!) on what I was trying to do.
I used Jeepeetee to guide me through checking if the ports (502?) were open for modbus access and it seemed like they were closed.
The installers have looked through their admin access and couldn't see anywhere to grant me access to ModBus.
Do I need to get an adaptor / dongle for rs485->ethernet like a waveshare?
Apologies I'm not too technically minded but I like to learn, so if there are any easy to follow guides out there please point me that way!
The installers aren't experts in the software side of things (but did a great job of the physical install) but do need to maintain their access via cloud as part of the ongoing support included in the installation.
A slight side note; there was an issue with the PV1 string not working on the inverter, they obtained a replacement inverter from Fox which they will swap over in a few days so I'd quite like to be ready on my end -the mini pc, home assistant etc to get local access as soon as the new inverter is in place.
And if I need to tell them which pins need to be wired up to what / where on an adaptor it'd be good to have it here and ready.
Many thanks in advance, apologies for being an (enthusiastic at least) n00b!
The other day my fox cloud2.0 app on iOS has stopped calculating the tariffs. All other data shows and updates it’s just the tariff calculations don’t update.
I’m with AGL Battery Rewards my mate is with OVO and has the same issue.
I don’t think it’s from the firmware update because I updated the inverter firmware and he didn’t but we both have the same issue.
Has anyone had this problem, if so how did you resolve it?
