Title: New updater app
Post by: ClassicCrazy on March 21, 2026, 02:20:28 AM
There is a new MNGP2 , Hawkes Bay , Barcelona, Rosie, and Little Rosie updater app for Iphone and Android.
I didn't get any good results with the Android updater app but maybe because something was too out of date like my android phone ? Not sure because it saw the mngp2 but then when it tried to find updates the app just sort of hung up searching for it . I gave up on that after a few attempts and I have an Iphone so tried that new updater app.
The iphone app  didn't find anything but then I thought to shut off the android bluetooth and that must have been the problem because once android was off, the iphone found mngp2 right away. It also saw the HB and for the first time saw the Little Rosie which the old updater app never did.
It updated the MNGP2 right away first try.
I had to make two attempts at the HB update but it went second time no issues. Then I updated the Little Rosie .
It did the usual shutdown of the HB PV and the Little Rosie shut off too. I got both of them started again and everything seemed okay.
This morning I didn't see any watts being produced by the Hawkes Bay. Since I hadn't done the full factory reset after updates yesterday, I did that and put all the settings back in . Either before or after that reset I noticed that one of the MNGP2 screens showed amps being produced which I confirmed with my clamp meter . The HB was charging but didn't show any watts output. I shut off the HB breakers and restarted HB , and when it got going again - it all was okay showing the watts and amps charging as normal.
So better do factory reset and restart the devices too . I am not sure how many updates behind I was so maybe that had something to do with it.
I should check the new Android updater app again sometime to see if it can find the MNGP2 - maybe will be okay now with newest updates all in place. ( my android phone is samsung s5 with lineage OS - so older android model )
