It is straightforward, just connect and fire up MPPTracker, but there is one little snag, the cable pinout appears to be unusual. You may have to modify your RJ45 to serial cable according to the pinout I previously posted here. If you are using a usb port, you also need a USB to serial converter.

Or you could use ESPHOME if that is something you are able to do. You can follow the guide from here: https://github.com/syssi/esphome-pipsolar

Thank you

The Felicity Charge Controllers are quiet good actually. It is lithium-friendly and appears to be durable. Yes, you can not see how much you generated at the end of the day, but that is a minor annoyance. It works with MPP Solar's MPPTracker and other python programmes to read the data. The picture below is the reading of my 2 Felicity Charge Controllers (FCC1 and FCC2) showing the instantaneous power, current and accumulated yield/day.

Hello @adrusa,

Please assist me with how you were able to connect your Felicity CC to MPP solar's MPPTracker and read the stats. i would appreciate if you could explain how you achieved this.

i am looking for a way to get data off my Felicity Charge controller and may considering selling off my felicity inverter cuz i cant get data off their ports or even find a device that can connect to it.

That inverter will consume nothing less than 80w as Idle Consumption and battery is small compare to pv size and number bank.

Although the inverter us rugged, it's sure to outlived many hybrid and non-hybrid inverter on the market now!

The solar panels are intentional as it carries my house and fridge throughout the day.

Is there a device i can add to view the power stats on my computer of phone? I came across this Epever device online, dont know if it would work with Felicity Charge controller!

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Easter to you all.

I recently just started the green energy journey with a few mistake and it's been fun.

I joined the Felicity crew cuz my friend was using their products but would have gone with Growatt or Epever if I knew what I know now. (No regrets).

I'm a smart home Enthusiastic and a sucker to stats and monitoring. cool cool grin

My current set up is - Felicity 5KVA inverter (IVPS 5048 ) + Felicity 80amps MPPT + Felicity 5KWH 48v Battery (LPBF48100) + Jinko 435w panels x 6

I found a couple of ports on my inverter (RS485 & RS232), charge controller (RJ45) and batteries but cant get them to communicate with each other. Is there a way to read information from these ports wirelessly or access them remotely.

Please I would be happy to learn. My thought is that those ports arent there for decoration but there's very little information about felicity setups and remote monitoring online.

Please help me or point me in a direction to follow. Would love to read the power generated from the panels and add the stats to home assistant.

Satellite TV Technology / Re: How Do I Connect Felicity 100A Charge Controller And A Felicity 3.5kva Inverter by xtremeidea(m): 6:40pm On Mar 25
kishimi8:

guess my question was not clear I have both, the charge controller and inverter,
inverter has grid input and can charge the batteries , the charge controller is also charging the same batteries ,
what I am trying to achieve is connecting both through the provided com port and synch the charging such that my batteries do not get over charged due to multiple sources connected to them

Hello Sir, were you able to resolve this? i am in the same shoes and wondering how to connect the cables so both devices can talk to each other.

Hi Guys,

P.S.
If anyone is interested in sonoff pow R2 sensors I am getting some in a couple of days from the US.

How's you pow R2 doing. got the Sonoff POW Origin R3. had to flash it to Esphome to function better cuz of light fluctuations.

Anyone using a video door bell here? what version are u using and how reliable is it?

Still waiting for Reolink to release theirs

Okay so I understand the less cost part, but less safe? Isn't Neutral supposed to be there for safety reasons?

Well, i know Neutral is there to complete a circuit and I believe "ground" is the actual wire added for safety and to prevent shock. There are actually 3 compositions, Live-Neutral-Ground. the structural engineers can explain better. I only know the little i know based of my little wiring experience.

There must be a reason why its so, or maybe be it's the standard specified in the building code. I'm eager to know this too.

So as expected, I've faced a stumbling block. Only God will save us from the kinds of buildings developers build in this country! So the Sonoff smart switches need to have a neutral (earth?) line for them to be safely connectes and used.

For the electrical folks here, why in God's name would a light switch not have neutral? Is that safe? Is it allowed by the Nigerian building code?

For me there are two reasons.

1. Its less cost cuz you will buy less wires.

2. Its safer than having it with neutral wires. - for you to have electric spark and fire, you must have a complete circuit. So this is the reason why must times you have sockets burning but light switches staying intact for years.

But recently, people have been going with the new standard of Live & Neutral.

I'm not a structural engineer. this is my own opinion.

Hey bro, how e dey go? Wanted to ask of you had used OpenFlixr before?

OpenFLIXR Media Server is an all-in-one media server for automated downloading and serving media. Tools like CouchPotato, SickRage, Headphones and SABnzbd to download and Plex Media Server to bring everything to your screens. Be it tablets, TVs, PCs, you name it. Completely web-based and includes monitoring and management tools.

Wow. This is very interesting. I haven't used it before. I've just been restricted to Plex Emby and Jellyfin. I have looked at the features and it's sounds promising. Will look for a docker or LXC version and experiment with it. Thanks for the suggestion!

How do I start with the bolded?

You need a computer (regular desktop, laptop or single board like raspberry or a micro computer - anything that has OS sha), A router, a hard drive with stored Media content, download a few applications and your good to go. That's all!

In my case, i only need the internet to pull down the movie information and pictures to make them look beautiful on screen just like Netflix.

But person go dey burn data ooooooo.

That's the good part! It works locally without the internet. Even when your internet down, as far as you have a router, you can access all your movies and content on any device, phone, tablet, PC or TV.
