Quincy10: Good for you. You are also a scammer yourself. You wanted to scam Spectranet, but their god pass you. I hope the money they scammed from you is plenty ![]() 5 Likes |

compunigeria: KWhr is calculated from KW using the formular KW x T where T is time. The process can be done automatically using simple scripts. I use Home Assistant (HA) which takes KW and converts it to KWHr on an ongoing basis. So, to answer your question: Felicity CC don't calculate the KWhr but there are many ways to get KWHr on an ongoing basis. 1 Like |

EPOMA: Same here. I bought a battery from him based on the recommendation of a friend who has had one of his batteries for about 2 years or more. The battery I bought came with JBD BMS which seems to have occasional loss of Bluetooth connection. However, I do not consider this a serious issue and I did not even contact @Valto to complain. I think his batteries are good. He didn't make the BMS and it is likely that one may just have a dud. This is not something to attack him for. 1 Like |

Xanderone: It is a lot easier to do than you think. Once you get the hang of it, which is very easy to do, it becomes a part of you. And the reward is sweet. I don't buy any smart thing if I can not "flash it" and put it completely under my control. I have Sonoff, Victron, Axpert, Wemo, Emporia, ANT BMS, JK-BMS, JBD BMS, Felicity, Easun products, etc and I talk to them locally without using the manufacturers' apps or internet connection. 2 Likes |

kwende: If you get power 12hours everyday, you probably don't need solar, just get 15KWh Lifepo4 and inverter and you are home and dry. You use the stored power when there is no electricity and you recharge the battery when electricity returns. 1 Like |

swagifted: The major benefit for me is that I don't need internet to control my switches. I actually came across Home Assistant, Tasmota and Esphome when I started looking for ways of controlling my switches when the internet is down in the house. 1 Like |

ojesymsym: Yes, no individual smart plug except for smaller things like TV, fans, wall switches where I use sonoff switches flashed with esphome. |

ojesymsym: Each of them has a contactor controlling them. The contactors are controlled by an 8-channel relay connected to an ESP32 which does the controlling through Home Assistant and Node-Red. 2 Likes |

litaninja: My AC is the regular AC, bought close to 10 years ago. The power consumption depends on ambient temperature. When the weather is hot, it consumes more power. I haven't seen any significant initial surge as I see with the pumping machine. When it came up yesterday night about 11:40pm, the starting power was 1457W which came down to 1421W at about 1:20am when it went off. Earlier yesterday in the afternoon, the starting power was 1588W. 4 Likes |

jonescosmos: It is smart world, anything you can measure can be used as a condition to start or stop something. Let me just share a snippet of my water heater control. Bonus: You can see that when my water heater is about to come on, my AC (ACSolar) is first switched off. 1 Like

sharks776: You are obviously limited by what you are exposed to. In my house, The pump fills my tank between 4am and 5am. My water heater comes on between 5am and 7am. If my battery is fully charged in the afternoon, the heater comes on again between 1pm and 4pm. My fridge/freezer comes on at 8am and turns off at 5pm. Everything controlled like clockwork with Home Assistant and Node Red. 2 Likes |

ojesymsym: Even more. If I have Deye, I wouldn't even use its smartload function. I have much better control with my smart setup. Unlike Deye Smartload, I can shed high load selectively. I can power fridge and freezer without powering any other thing. If I want my freezer to stay on, when freshly filled, I can just set that. I can power pump without turning the heater on. Smartload is for people who don't know that better options exist. 3 Likes 1 Share |

QuoteJust1nce: So, what is "priority data 40Gb" if Starlink is truly unlimited? https://www.starlink.com/legal/documents/DOC-1469-65206-75?regionCode=NG My fibre connecrion is truly unlimited in terms of data cap. I can do 100TB if I have the need and the time for it. No FUP at all. |

QuoteJust1nce: What kind of home server? If you are running a busy website from your "home", you are not a regular home user. I run a smart home server and online DVR at home and my 20mbps work perfectly. I stream 4k regularly on my 20mbps using Youtube or Netflix. Youtube requires 15mbps for 4k while Netflix requires a little more, but with precaching 20mbps is more than adequate for 4k streaming. I download things well beyond 50GB using torrent or direct download, it takes time. If you need to download 50gb "engineering template" over short period, you are not a regular home user. My home is not a cybercafe. I don't have all members of the family streaming HD movies on different screens all at the same time. I wonder how often this also happens in your own home. Of course a gigabit link will solve all world's problem, but unless you have a special need for insanely fast internet due to the nature of your work, 20mbps is good enough. 7 Likes |

QuoteJust1nce: So, tell me what your 100mbps is doing that a regular home can not do on 20mbps? |

QuoteJust1nce: Nigerians and their bragging. 20mbps is fine for the overwhelming majority of internet users. It will do Youtube, Netflix, Prime Videos etc fine. I know because I'm using one at home with fibre. With fibre all over Lagos for which entry fees are less than 100k, I had asked myself why people are rushing Starlink. When the thing first launched in Nigeria, I repeatedly tried to buy, but I kept finding it difficult to justify that expense especially since I have a good fibre connection that I pay less than 20k for per month. It is also unlimited and there is no FUP. It is 20mbps for one whole month and I have pulled over 1TB data in some months. Besides, the report I'm getting is that the 100-300mbps is not always guaranteed. I have seen people with 40mbps download. I don't see the noise about Starlink if you live in an urban area with access to high speed unlimited fibre connection. I can not justify paying extra 20k for a bandwidth I really don't need. 6 Likes |

twinskenny: I doubt it. The Deye Smartload system takes advantage of the dedicated Generator Port by converting the Gen port to output under certain conditions. So, it will require that you wire your heavy loads to the gen port. If your inverter does not have this baked into its software, you can not use it even if you have 2 outputs. However, you can achieve the same thing in different ways. For example, what I did is to put my large loads including AC, Fridge/Freezer, Water Heater and Water Pump on a smart relay that is controlled by Home Assistant. They can then be programmed to work only when battery SOC/Voltage/Current is between certain levels. 2 Likes |

xtremeidea: 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 1 Like 1 Share |

nicodemusic: The rs232 port is serial port for communicating with your inverter including reading and setting its parameters like Low Voltage and High Voltage disconnect (LVD and HVD), setting charging parameters etc. The BMS port is for communicating with the BMS of a lithium battery. 1 Like |

dollarnaira: True, but some low life inverters will not shutdown gracefully, they will blow a few mosfets if overloaded. I wonder why? |

Dam5reey: You may be the one who missed the point. This was his question. "I know LiFePO4 can be paralleled but I wanted to know if there's provision(PORT) for his battery pack to be paralleled like using RJ Connector to parallel both batteries." Note the bolded parts. 3 Likes |

Dam5reey: 1. If your BMS does not come with the ability to communicate with your inverter and fellow BMS, it may be good, but not good enough. Premium BMSes on premium lithium batteries are able to communicate with each other to synchronize charging and discharging. 2. No, you don't need battery communications to parallel batteries, however, it is good to have. It makes your batteries work together better. For dumb lead acid batteries, there may not be any need, but for smart batteries with smart BMSes, communications between batteries make for better overall experience and health of the batteries. 3. Finally, if it is so useless, premium brands like BYD, Pylontech, Seplo etc will not put it on their systems. |

Dam5reey: Not totally correct. Just like inverters, lithium batteries with good bms can also have data communication such that all the batteries in parallel can work like one single giant battery. Some premium charge controllers like Outback and Midnite Solar also have this data sharing connection mode. However, unlike inverters, parallel communications are not compulsory for batteries and charge controllers, but premium ones do have them. I know that Pylontech batteries have such communication ports. The Felicity lithium also have battery to battery communication. You can see the picture of pylontech battery to battery connection below.
