Mike I used the MEMO  option so it is stored onboard. .  just have to figure out howto move it to sn email or ??

.....you could just take a snapshot of any screen using the share icon in the app.

argh, it just wants to send it offboard somewhere, won't give me any choice to store locally.  I have limited internet on the ranch, and it'd be useful to save it simply as a photo, and not send it to hangouts, drive, messanger, ,,,,,,,

Yea, I have no control over what goes in the share menu, I just ask the O/S to capture the screen.
you might have to have the memo app installed for it to show up in the list

I've got 2 photo programs and a photo editor, which don't show up in the list, I have about 15 cloud based apps (all preloaded in firmware) that want me to UL the screenshot.     Stupid phones !  I have about 3 memo programs that don't show up either.

That is why I rooted my phone and put a different ROM on it - then I can get rid of or add whichever apps I want.
Not sure what kind of phone you have - you may be able to root it easily , then install Titanium Backup and you can delete the unwanted apps. There may be other apps that will do that without root - some just freeze the apps so they won't show up or run.

Morning Graham, well I had a bit of  a go so far..  uninstalled last version from yesterday, used the facility via you URL ay end if sig line, then to your link to latest version and installed it direct as well as pasting into my DROPBOX...  fire it up and Avast does not like it as it did not come from Play store... tell it to IGNORE etc. and it did not recognize/find Classic. Shut off TAB and reboot .... no app in the list, repeat as above.... now have App loaded and running but again \no so\c page, starts at Power page..??

Oh ya, when I saw it was not finding the Classic I went down and 'committed' the static  IP addr. again...

Question, if it needs to know WBJr is present to show SoC, why does it show WBjr Amps data on LIVE CHART?

maybe it will find itself in the wilderness..
cheers

ADD:well it finally found itself about 1 hr later..??

You might have to Allow app installs from 'unknown sources' http://www.androidcentral.com/allow-app-installs-unknown-sources
this will allow install outside of the playstore like dropbox etc.

Without the whisbangjr, you should not get the SOC | Consumption or System | Capacity + the wbjr Amp line in the chart,
the SOC is now the second tab after power.
I must have a bug in the tab component, someone else was saying the the tab names did not match the content, got back to normal after a restart.

Graham
The SOC was showing in the 2.5.0  test app before but not the Consumption or  Capacity
But now after restarting it  the SOC, Consumption, Capacity are all back along with all the other screens
Guess it just takes awhile for it to work. So all good now .

Mike I am using Samsung TAB4... if it helps and the memo was on-board and after I save the screen capt. I can then choose to 'cloud it' or not, in my Samsung Account. Nyet!

Verizon droid turbo, year old.   Have another year before I can root it.  sucks.

Wait ?
Does one app do BOTH Classic and MorningstarTS ?

Should still work
I no longer have my TriStar for testing but I haven't had any complaints
Graham

Well, I spent yesterday trying to get classic monitor v2.4.7 to see the morningstar tsmppt-60.  I put it's ip address in, port 80 but it was never connected to.  Should I be using it's modbus address or what are the steps ?

yes, the default modbus port is 502
try that and the IP address of your tri-star,
once it connects, restart the app to load the correct tabs.

for the Morningstar

I tried to add the morningstar, but it never recognized it,
after clicking the +
2 lines appear in the window, top line has 502 in it
I pasted ip address
192.168.0.101
or http://192.168.0.101
or  http://192.168.0.101:502
and none seemed to connect, always had yellow triangle with ! in it.  Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

(note - these addresses are all on a non-internet connected network, internet is half mile away. Someone with a pringles cantenna might see it, but it's all RE gear, and w/o the ser # should not be able to harm anything)

It should be just 192.168.0.101 and 502 for the port
Both your android device and the TriStar need to be on the same local network.
You could try to ping your controller with a ping program, just search ping in Google play

If I recall, the morningstar has a status page that can be accessed from a browser, using chrome on your device, you could try to open http://192.168.0.101, that would confirm your device can talk to your morningstar, if that works and the app doesn't then morningstar must have changed something, check to see if there is a security setting on the status page to allow modbus (port 502).

I was able to connect to my modbus simulator with data I had recorded from a tri-star without any issue.

[ClassicCrazy]

I don't have my Morningstar any longer but I used to connect to the built in webpage at  http://tsmppt09440039 - the numbers are the serial number of the controller .

Yes, I can access the web server with chrome on the android
When I enter the manual config in the app,
do I leave the 502 alone on the first line, and then enter only the IP address on the 2nd line
or include the http:// in front of the IP address. or append :502 to the IP address ?

Yes leave the 502 in the top line and only the 192.168 1.253 in the second line. The app uses the modbus protocol not the HTTP protocol.
