    Getting Data DIRECTLY from a Tigo TAP - is it possible ?

    Hardware Platform: Tigo CCA2 Firmware Version: 3.7.4-ct Mgate Version G8.59\rJul 6 2020\r16:51:51\rGW-H158.4.3S0.12\r I have to go to https://[cca ip address]/cgi-bin/shell if the unit has rebooted to re-enable ssh access. You're right. I used "which". It was in /usr/sbin You actually want...

    Getting Data DIRECTLY from a Tigo TAP - is it possible ?

    I'll have to check mine when I get home. I'm sure that's the command I ran, but I can poke around a bit. I can also see if I can pull some version info. That was a suggestion from the German forum to ideally prevent unwanted firmware updates... but not sure if it actually will do that. I...

    Tigo optimizer CCA local monitoring?

    Yeah, we should potentially rename that thread since the answer was "No, we haven't figured out how to get the data from the TAP, but you CAN get it from the CCA" 😂

    Sol-Ark 15k Power Outage Mode? (SA too if needed)

    Thanks to everyone who helped! I did a test by turning off the service disconnect at night. The lights had the barest flicker, but nothing in the house noticed or turned off. After a few minutes, I turned the service disconnect back on, and shortly afterwards, the 15k connected back to the...

    Sol-Ark 15k Power Outage Mode? (SA too if needed)

    System has been up and running for less than a month, so I'm still dialing it in 😉 The 35% was based on a conservative estimate of running the house load through the night, and it almost isn't enough. It definitely won't be if the AC has to run much into the evening. Clearly I need more...

    Getting Data DIRECTLY from a Tigo TAP - is it possible ?

    Mine was connected for days before I got control of it. DOING THE FOLLOWING MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY First thing is to connect to http://[cca ip address]/cgi-bin/shell Username: Tigo Password: $olar I had to try several browsers before that worked. Then you should be able to ssh into it using...

    Sol-Ark new optimizer

    According this article, the "Sol-Ark" optimizers are branded versions of the enteligent units: https://solarmagazine.com/2023/09/sol-ark-selects-enteligent-rsd-with-optimization-for-0900-80v/ And no, those don't appear to be available for sale, either because they need to be customized for the...

    Sol-Ark new optimizer

    Sorry, just a bit bitter following a project originally announced in 2023(?) still not out, especially considering that they announced release dates, and then kept moving them. I'm all for only releasing a product when it is ready. But continuously shifting release dates sucks. I'm sure they...

    Sol-Ark new optimizer

    Really? In fact, they seem to have actually disappeared from Sol-Ark's website. This link: Not longer appears on the "Products" page (but can be found on archive.org) And the URL of the "Learn More" link (https://www.sol-ark.com/optimizers/) just redirects to the main product page.

    Sol-Ark 15k Power Outage Mode? (SA too if needed)

    Great, thanks! I guess I should've just tested it to see what would happen without messing with anything.

    Sol-Ark 15k Power Outage Mode? (SA too if needed)

    I looked for this answer and was surprised I couldn't find it. I have a Sol-Ark 15k between my meter and main panel. I have 28kWh of batteries connected to it. I haven't yet switched to TOU billing, so I just have it configured to try and zero out grid use, and charge the batteries with any...

    The new "My Sol-Ark" App and Migration to AWS is happening very soon.

    Oh, I thought only RS232 allowed write access. In that case, its just slightly more complicated from a wiring standpoint since I need to break out the CAN connection. I guess the only other thing I liked about the RS232 was that so long as SA worked, I didn't have to worry about big brother...

    The new "My Sol-Ark" App and Migration to AWS is happening very soon.

    :rolleyes: Well *$(^#. I guess I need to swap from SA on RS232 to RS485 for a while just in case I ever want to use Sol-Ark's web portal.

    Getting Data DIRECTLY from a Tigo TAP - is it possible ?

    Thanks! I saw similar code on the German forum. I tried to figure out what they were trimming and why they were padding the end with a bunch of zeros and gave up when it seemed like I couldn't pass the data directly into InfluxDB that was running inside HA. I did figure out the attributes...

    Getting Data DIRECTLY from a Tigo TAP - is it possible ?

    oof. That was both easier and harder than I expected. I just installed InfluxDB into HA. This makes it easy to pass data from HA to InfluxDB, but makes it harder to get data directly into the InfluxDB instance. With the help of ChatGPT, I created a bash script to parse /mnt/ffs/data/daqs and...
