Lux ac battery controller

QrizB

If your current panels are two rows of eight, in portrait orientation, each row is 7216mm long.

If you were to replace them with 440s in the same orientation, you'd fit six into the same space (6.3 but you can't get 0?3 of a panel).

12 x 440 is 5280, which is only a 10% increase on your current 4800.

(I don't know your roof layout and you might be correct that you could fit 15 up there.)

I was just after the max spot power for each string eg 2150w say. This would then give a rough idea of how much clipping you'd get increasing panel size. If it was 2150, that's 89.6% of installed capacity so max with 8 440w (exc bi facial production) would be 3150, so little or no clipping as long as you can manage your battery capacity to take the solar + 3400w AC export, then you can export batteries later in day.....

Wondering if anyone has or knows someone who has managed to get the Uhome App data into home assistant? If it is appearing on the App it is clearly being transmitted. I can also get it by plugging in the BUS??? that was sent to do an upgrade of firmware but I just don't have the intelligence to write any programs.

Lux App has updated for me overnight.. Apple IOS new shiny interface but under the hood not a lot seems different.

Historical data on the main screen is blank BTBH cant remeber if it was present on the main screen before. It is still there in "Energy Overview"

It's not working for us. We had the inverter replaced in August last year and the page with the house pic has the old inverter details and we haven't found a way to change it yet. Have found how to get back to the old page though, will have to do for now.

I have a number of issues with the data presented, although I appreciate getting automatically updated. Ha e sent comments back to Lux.

Issues Include chart sizing and seeing detail is impossible ( will not zoom vertically so current morning gen and load on chart is virtually zero as scale is stuck on the max overnight grid draw+ - it was an EV boost+ at over 10kW so scale stuck at 40! ), incorrect title ( not real time data) units unclear/ cursor shows them as Watts but they are kW, the travelling current bar too indistinct and today solar gen appears to be just going to batts when approx 50% is going to house load, seems to assume a hybrid inverter, on phone (Android) will not rotate to landscape,

and as you are both posting there are more problems.

I looks quite good a d is promising g but that is as far as it goes. Not fit for release.

@Alnat1 How does one see the old display?

Use the back arrow from the main page then tap this button

Thanks Ian.

Another issue the house energy display does not make sense. Energy input and output balances but solar gen shows energy going to house load and grid export but BESS at 90%, should be charging but displays text "Discharging" and not exporting! Not a time/ update isdue as been like that for a few minutes...

Yes that old page is actually better and simpler display and seems to be giving correct real time information.
