Hi. Searching forum looking for threads that may help. I also travel a great deal. I am looking for a way to connect a wifi device to (for example) the input to my alarm light on the inverter panel that would trigger a push notification to my phone via text. Anyone have any thoughts on this? For...

Greetings. I have a residential system and can view my output via the Sunpower app. I would like to add a device that can plug into the input of the inverter panel alarm light (for example). When the alarm comes in the device will send a push notification to my email or text to notify me of the...

Thanks for the comment. I agree finding a somewhat reliable PI device that will send out notification via wifi will be important. Not wanting to speed a ton of money on hardware but I will continue to review comments on the forum.

Greetings. This looked like the best forum section to ask this question. Search could not reveal what I am looking for. I would like to tap into my SMA inverter alarm light input and connect it to a wifi push notification device to text my phone in the event of an alarm. I have a 2016 system so...

Your comments made me think that it may be a good idea to back engineer the problem. As far as a specific condition, my current intermittent alarm is Electric arc detected and...

My current security system is through Xfinity so it is all wireless. I will see if they have a PI device? I am currently looking at Risinglink or Myspool. Plug in PI devices that plug into, in this case my Secure Power Supply.

Thanks Krby. 30 years operator for power production facilities so very aware of dangers but NOT an elect tech or comm tech/IT. That said I would like to avoid making my own device. I am trying to gather information before isolating the system and cracking the case open. What voltage is the input...

I will look into the Growatt products. I currently do not have a "secure power supply" outlet. It may be the case that if it is completely supplied by the PV panels on and off grid I may simply need a loss of power outlet plug alarm with wifi? I have contacted the company that supplied the...

Profesor79 Thanks for the reply. I am more concerned with an alarm. I am gone for months at a time. Power failures are rare and usually for a short period of time. If an alarm comes in, there is probably a problem with the PV system or inverter and that would need to be attended to. I would like...
