I have two battery packs and can see information about them in the app (battery>more informationn>...).
Is it possible for multiple battery packs to be viewed in the portal please?

Many thanks

@Rubikcube has produced a very good Android App that gives you the information requested without offering any control. It works off your wifi and also has the advantage of not requiring the PC on.

My alternative Android app can be downloaded from the play store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.rubikcube.invertermonitor

From the monitor screen, you can access battery information by tapping the battery bar at the bottom of the screen (the feature is a bit hidden). Alternatively, if you enable "Collect Stats" in settings, a battery icon appears.

I wrote the app to work with my own (gen1 hybrid) inverter. I am sharing it freely, although I give no guarantee it will work with your inverter. It seems to be fine with Gen 2, Gen 3, and AC3, but I don't know if it works with the AIO. It is a read only monitor, so it shouldn't cause any harm ( but standard disclaimer - if your inverter blows up not my fault! )

Tried it out last night. Thanks for that, it's a useful bit of code and adds to the picture of what's going on.

Rubikcube Doesn't work with AIO, just gave it a punt.

Jellybaby Thank you for trying it out and reporting back. I imagine it just says "no connection".

I think the AIO is a lot different to the older kit, and I expect GivEnergy will bring out more new stuff next year that won't work with my app either. I'm not going to try to keep up. I will update the description on the play store to make it clear that it is only for the older inverters.

Rubikcube Correct and the errors just went up, I just gave it a punt to let you know 🙂
