Classic Monitor APP

[Jacotenente]

Anyone using it? Taking it out for a spin...not bad.

[Westbranch]

can you be a bit more specific as to what you are referring to?
never heard of that name before, there are several to choose from but not one with that name...

[binkino]

I guess, he is talking about the "Midnite Solar Status Panel" ?

[SuperTed]

I think he is talking about Graham's app.. see http://kb1uas.com/mnsforum/index.php?topic=1589.msg13700#msg13700
I use it on a tablet in a prominent location and it is great for the Family to see where we are at SOC wise

Cheers

Ya, I can think of at lleast 4  plus the My Midnite option

[Jacotenente]

Yes, that is the one...free on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.farrelltonsolar.classic&hl=en

I really like it...esp running three Classics and viewing "System" and "Consumption" dials.

[Westbranch]

OK to answer your question, I use that App and shifted away from the MN Local App, both agood, just Graemes as you said has some better features to view the same data..

[Jacotenente]

Roger that. Been using it for about two-three weeks now...liking it even more.
- Amazing and smooth operation. I was watching the "Power" dial (w/three classics). The refrigerator cycles on and the dial responds in an instant.
- If you tap on that dial, you can view "Power" (in watts) or "Battery Current". That is neat!
- You MUST have a WBJr to make this APP really work.
- Found all my Classics...did have to use Port 502 + IP address and load each
- Can adjust "Temperature" settings F or C
- "Daily Log Calendar" shows total KW/H harvests per day/month and max battery volts
- It's free...can't change the Classic's operating parameters (but, once they're set up...not really needed)

There is a lot to really like about this APP...may do a review on my YT Channel. Still learning all of it's features...

[Westbranch]

try using the Live chart,  I used it to fine tune my EA settng and ABSORB volts...  get the latter too high and the V line will jump up all of a sudden, backed mine off ~.5V and now the line is nice and smooth...

If you click on the orange book with a question mark icon on the top right, it will open this web page http://skyetracker.com/classicmonitor/help_en.html that has some basic information on each tab as well as the pvoutput.org upload feature, I also added a share icon in the latest version so you can save snapshots of the live data charts.

Thanks Chris, can't wait to get back to shore to watch it, my cell reception is a little spotty at the moment, should be back on land in a couple of days.

Thanks for taking the time to do the video, looks great.
I like your other video on how you got started with solar, I did something similar at the cottage except I'm now at one classic and four batteries.
