I wanted to share some data on a pretty new complete laundry solution. I know there are similar units, and lots of stuff from Europe, but GE is now making an all-in-one laundry center. The difference is that this one is full sized. So, we picked one up. I have no affiliation with GE or any...

Sure I can share... I am not an affiliate of anything in any way, I make no money off these links, and these are products that worked for me but you may choose different brands/sellers to accomplish the same thing. Please delete this post if it violates some rule. My remote cabin setup uses the...

I'll chime back in and add what else I experienced and where I ended up going eventually. It is true that I had the external HDMI/USB connected touch screen working well. However, I encountered a couple of road blocks to making it viable for a local direct connected interface to SA: 1. I could...

Wrong thread, sorry

Yeah, I may go this route eventually... I just need to do some research on how to put a tablet into like a kiosk mode with browser full screen -- I was just amped that SA supported an external monitor. I am not know for taking the easy plug and play route on things like this.

The very latest version of SA for Orange Pi (not Raspberry), when run on an Orange Pi 3 LTS, supports the HDMI video output to a monitor as a direct connected local display. This is all I was looking for when I started this journey. The fact that this touch screen works to allow you to change...

Okay, so 4th monitor actually works (I tried it again just after posting my question thinking I had to be missing something). It is a bare capacitive 10.1" touch screen from Amazon. Seems I needed to plug in the HDMI, the USB wall wart (power), **AND THIS IS THE FIX** a 2nd USB from the Orange...

Okay, so I had SA running perfectly on an RPi and all was well. Then, I started to get jealous of all the Victron folks and their fancy high-class (and reliable) touch screen interface. This sent me down the road of trying to find the best touch screen solution for SA -- which was basically a...

I have SA running perfectly on a Pi4-B 8GB. It has 2x Micro HDMI ports that support up to 4K each. I wonder will these ports work (with the most recent SA code) to enable an HDMI output of the SA dashboard to an HDMI monitor?? If so, I will go get a micro HDMI to HDMI cable and sexy monitor...

Thank you sir. I will attempt the same with my JK BMS's (understanding your TTL to USB might not work reliably or at all with my brand BMSs)

@jpimlott -- Can you share the brands/models of some of your components; TTL to USB adapters, USB hub, and the 12V and 5V din supplies? I'd like to link 4x BMS to my Pi/SA and, well, why re-invent the wheel?! Many thanks in advance.
