Hello @400bird . Hopin' your day's are sunny. :) About 3 years ago, my neighbor dragged me into his solar project, where he had paid for several expensive inverter boxes and ran out of money before even trying to assemble them. It was all new equipment, but it didn't match up very well, so it...

A new twist for those running with PV AC Coupling, grid attached, and needing to run an SBC program continuously tweek EPC Maximum Charge Power so that the batteries only do Bulk charge from Solar... Could you guys chime in here if you are interested in having the XW-Pro now do the hard part...

Up until a few weeks ago, I was still running v1.11.01bn49 with an AC coupled setup, and since I had an SBC program continuously tweeking the EPC Maximum Charge Power (Modbus 502-40210) so as limit it to be less than AC Load Power (Modbus 502-0x009A), I was still running it with EPC "Disabled"...

Post #17 from @SkiboLodge got me thinking about v1.18 again. When it first appeared for download, it was v1.18BN33. I don't remember it mentioning the SDcard, but the system I have uses a lot of custom scripts on an external SBC that optimize charging from solar on an AC coupled setup. The...

I want to post a very BIG THANK YOU to those of you that were able to find this thread, try the SD card fix, and then take the time to feedback with excellent additional background info! I even learned additional stuff! Big apologies that I have been away and too busy to post more than a "like"...

Just something to add here about a quirk I have seen ... Because after experiencing other (not related to your problem) system issues, I have often gone into our Conext Gateway / Events / log page and found nothing there ... But ... Wait a minute ... I would find log messages pointing back to...

For those using InsightHome / InsightFacility ... First of all, disclaimer, you should assume that opening one of these boxes could void an existing warranty. Also, the circuits inside are delicate PC board components, so only proceed if you have had adequate training and experience working...

Hey, very happy to hear the SD card replacement worked for you. ? I also think the additional detail you provided regarding the LED activity and timing will help reassure anyone else that gets stuck with CG SD card failing and trying this fix. I'll add that even though I did not use the...

Hello, just wondering if you had a chance to test? If the remote site has a router doing DHCP on the CG's LAN, one of the guys could swap in a new microSD while it's temporarily disconnected / powered off (preferably in the cab of his truck). I would give it 5 to 10 minutes to reformat the new...

For some reason, the forum tool wouldn't let me do this as a reply on Friday. I know it's been almost two months since your OP, but just wanted to make sure you got a notification about my fix in the previous post ... Hopefully you haven't tossed your gateway already. :)

If you read closely in the Conext Gateway User's Guide, under features, there is a vague reference to an included 8Gbyte MicroSD card ... Used for keeping statistics. There is no other mention of using it. Since our Gateway is in a weather-tight shed, I had to scratch some old brain cells to...

Had the same bug ... And found the fix! Unless someone confirms otherwise, I bet this is limited to the Conext Gateway, with its unique hardware setting it apart from the InsightHome & Facility. I also bet schneider knows about this bug but doesn't want to admit to a design defect with users...

It might be useful to add that I only updated the Gateway f/w. v1.17 installed without any quirks. But the XW-Pro's are still at 1.11.01bn49. I did this to minimize changes for isolating the bug. Schneider v1.17 release notes recommend upgrade to v2.04. l have seen no adverse incompatibility...

I actually wrote a custom lua program to scan for various solar network communication problems every 25 minutes. One of the checks I added was WiFi scan for the specific ssid. From my experience on v1.16, bug would recur between 4 to 14 days since the last time it was cleared. So far only...

Ahhh, but when you get to the point of beating your head against a wall trying to apply logic to explain why the separation between port 502 vs. port 503 and decimal vs. hexadecimal register displacement... Don't come cryin' to me! ;)
