It's a one-horse race !
SUNNY EXPLORERThe free PC software solution
http://www.sma-uk.com/en_UK/products/software/sunny-explorer.html
Should work on any PC with a 'Bluetooth' connection.
I don't think it has an android version but you could no doubt run Sunny Explorer on a PC then port results to something else if you wanted.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
The files it downloads (at least via the sunnybeam) are only CSV files so in theory if you can get something to see the inverter as a drive via bluetooth you could be able to access them. I suspect the software is more to do with the graphs etc you get on the sunnybeam.Adventure before Dementia!0

There is an Android app, but I couldn't get it to work on my phone. I have an old netbook which collects the data every 20 minutes by bluetooth and uploads it to pvoutput.org. I can view that from the internet or using an android app for the pvoutput data.0

I think the android app I tried was called sunny data control, but I couldn't get the phone to connect to the inverter.
The script I use on the netbook is one I adapted from this.

I have it set up to upload to pvoutput every 20 minutes - this is the data.

This is the android app to display the pvoutput data on the phone.

Runs fine on an htc phone and also on an Asus eeetablet.0 -
May be more a problem of the blue tooth connection on the phone. I found from another forum and much head scratching that the sunny boy inverter Bluetooth will only work with specific drivers - Blue Soleil is definitely out which ruled out my desktop. My Hannspree Netbook with built in Bluetooth works fine.0

Thanks for all your help
I couldn't get Sunny Explorer working, didn't spend much time. But found android App called SmAndroid, which works fine. It has few hicups but works fine. I can export files to CSV. But I havn't found it where it is saving on the phone. Again I just had a quick look.
I have HTC Desire.
When I have more time I will try Sunny explorer.

Found the CSV files. It is located at Android\data\be.geek.smandroid\files
