Hi Larry.  I believe Wizbandit answered this question today on the COMBOX thread.  Midnite is shifting the monitoring function to Solar Assistant.  You can download a 1 month trial copy of the software to run on an existing Pi3/4/5.  I did so today, plugged it into my Pytes V5 batteries, and they came right up, no fuss.  Monitoring, graphs, & statistics, but no control capability .... I don't think the COMBOX was going to have control functionality either, doesn't really matter now.

The combox project is separate from the firmware update that Ryan was talking about that may do closed loop communication  to batteries with the Hawkes Bay, Barcelona, and Rosie.

Phase 1 of the solar assistant is monitoring, Phase 2 is full control. Hoping Phase 1 is done in 2-3 weeks

WOW, full control would be awesome!  Will the Classic CC also be ported over to Solar Assistant?

If you need beta testers for Rosie and solar assistant I'm happy to help.
