LA isn't displaying some readings:
Battery Current,   kWh,   Watts, & Input Current
just zeros.

Input Voltage is showing around 16V, actual is currently ;p 114V.

Edit: I was so focused on what wasn't being displayed that I failed notice that the Battery Voltage displayed was incorrect. At the moment it's showing 50.9, actual is 56.9.


Sounds to me like the LA stopped communicating with the Classic  ?

I don't think it did/has. I've attached a screen dump & csv from roughly the same times.

No, when it was displaying 0's and 16 volts input when it was really 117 volts input I thought that maybe
it was offline.

Hi,


The "Default to Bar Chart" is (IMO) annoying, I like the Line Chart. Maybe an option to select the default or, at least to remember the users previous selection?


Ditto. I much prefer the Line Chart. If you are going to leave the Bar Graph as a default how about making the selections "Sticky" so if I change it to Line it isn't jumping back to Bar all the time.

Also on the - auto-range Power Scale  does not seem to work correctly for me. I had set the range to 1kW scale and it was reading in the 350-400W range and I came back to find it in the 5kWh scale. Does it have to over range before going to the next scale or is there some lower trigger point? I would assume it should only go to the next scale. Is it supposed to Auto down range also? Would be nice to have Auto Range be a selectable option.

FT data seems to be fixed in the Offline Date. Overall good progress in fixing the data logging. Still want to see the momentary disconnects resolved.

Same remark !!

- Yes, the graph now updates himself but in the limit of the current selection (1/2 hour, hour). Is it possible to continue in the next period (1/2 hour, hour) ?

when you take the wee out could you put in Volts ?

Ryan,

..and what about changing the battery volts and amps meter scales to not look so odd
For a 24volt battery the meter goes 9 19 29 39.   20 25 30 35 would be more useful
And the amp meter for the c150 is  just weird  0  23.5. 47. 70.5. 94 when 0 25 50  75 100 would look more normal.

Hi,

A new problem this morning at 07:30AM :

The LocalApp didn't reinitialize the Yesterday Kwh production.

After going near the Classic, I saw that he shows the same information.

So, I've done a manual log reset :

- Tweaks menu / More / More2, set A-RST at ON just with the arrows (without validating with Enter)
- Logs menu / Daily choice, Hold-Down LeftArrow and press Enter.


From the user point of view, the change was that yesterday, I used a lot the LocalApp Config Tab to activate many Re-Absorb and many changes to the EA, even when Re-Absorb was playing.  Yes, I'm always tracking my charge problem !!!

I think I agree with this.

- auto-range the kWh scale

That works, I got 14.3kWh today.

+1 For Changing the Battery Volts scale: "40-48-56-64" maybe, for 48v?

Okay new problem with 3.17 Live Data. If I only select three data points I can pick the days from the calendar or scroll back and forth with the arrows using Day. If I select all data points I cannot select a date from the calendar or use the arrows to move. The data never moves or changes. See attached. Calendar at one date and graph at another.

Also if I select 2 Weeks for export it goes from today's date forward by two weeks where there is no data yet.

I should have read the post from Lya72!

Mine showed 18.7 today (not possible: raining & cloudy). I checked the data and found it hadn't reset at midnight. So I'm guessing I didn't get 14.3 yesterday. Any, at least the "Auto-scaling" works well.

Hi DrDos,

Can you check to make sure in the tweaks menu on the classic not the App that Insomnia is turned OFF?

I am not seeing the KWH not reset here on my 6 classics?

Ryan


Also check in the Tweaks menu to make sure that Time Synch is ON
and that the clock is set correctly in the MISC/TIME menu.


For me, these two Settings were OK, and yours ?

Hi Ryan, Andrew, Bob,

Another thing, you have to work on, is to install the application on a new computer !!
(Virtual machines are ideals for that)

You will saw some problems with the enable logging configuration.

After the installation, if you go straight to Data/Live, you will have a popup saying that there is no data to display and you have to enable the logging configuration !
That's OK BUT, even if you click a lot on the OK button of this popup, it will never close !!!!


After you force the LocalApp to shut (Application didn't respond), and restart it, you go straight to the Config Tab and select the Enable Logging, then close the LocalApp, your new setting isn't registered.

On the next day, when you restart the App, you don't know that Logging isn't enable !!! And you loose another day of datas ==> GRRRRR

Why the Logging Enabled is not automatically registered ?

Thank you Yann !

I bet that it is not enabled automatically because it starts taking up disk space.  That is my guess
anyway.

Forwarding this off to Andrew.
