Solis Data Logger Thread

Yeah, the username/pass for the old DLS-W logger is admin/admin, but new S3-WIFI-ST is admin/123456789. I got stuck with this also and I can't remember where I found that password. It came up buried in some PDF.

I also tried and couldn't so took it as not compatible.

just a hint for anyone installing the new fangled data logger... when 'bonding' with the home wifi, I found the direct connection to the home wifi worked a treat (Step 4 in the setup manual.. one-key configuration I think it's called), you login directly to the home wifi and it sorts the datalogger - home WiFi connection itself without messing around with Solis wifi first.

There was a big update on firmware during the night maybe that could be the cause.

I don't think so, it hasn't been working for a bit.

Got connected to it, but now there is no device listed as being attached to it in the app. When I go to the admin page of the stick there is no device there either.

Any thoughts from the wise members of boards?

Is there a way to tell what version of the dongle you're using? I've been trying to follow https://github.com/fboundy/ha_solis_modbus to set up home assistant with S3-WIFI-ST stick and he suggest v1.1.0 of the firm ware should work.

Reliability issues must be due to poor wifi signal, never had any issues with mine but it is also about 50cm from a dedicated attic access point so signal is about as close as you can get to 100%

Solis api only gives you access to soliscloud data which is 5 mins old and not great. I did manage to get them to change the refresh on mine to 60 secs for the cloud data too so I set up a backup that pulls data into HA from the cloud if the modbus tcp fails for any reason

This chap has a big spiel on the password issue https://github.com/hn/ginlong-solis

though you'll likely have to pay import duty on it

or one of the HA folks on here might need the previous model

Thanks, I had a look at them but Ireland is not available in the drop down list for shipping for some reason

Hi all

I keep getting alarm emails (nearly daily) from my Solis Cloud account with a code reference 2012. Alarm Content: CAN_Comm_FAIL

Would anyone have any idea what this relates too and also how to resolve the issue?

Cheers

I have failed at the first step. Attempting to register on solis cloud cannot get it to send me a vrification code. I have tried two different email addresses withiut success. Also what is the picture dialogue that comes up. It would be great to get onto the next step.

Thanks for that. Do you know if the CAN cable is marked as such? Apologies but I am a newbie to all this

Did anyone find a source of the S2-WL-ST (LAN+WLAN) data logger?

Update: just went ahead with a S3-WIFI-ST ordered from Bimble Solar

Hi, I'm guessing this is gone by now?

My dad's one liked like that when we set up up initially. After a few hours it seemed to update itself....hopefully you will be in the same boat too

Just wondering if you have any suggestions re the poor wifi signal?

My router is on the ground floor.

S3-GPRS-ST data logger is in the attic above the hollow core second floor.

Signal is simply awful.

I've had Virgin Media place pods to boost the signal but I'm still unable to register on the AT network?

Are there superior antennae available for this data logger?

LAN solis data logger offer no real solution.

No idea what's the story with a so called cellular data logger?

I'd purchase another data logger if I thought it would connect.

I ran a network cable to the attic and using one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07794JRC5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

100% signal

I got the ST-WL-ST from an Italian ebay seller. Ordered last week, arrived today.

Hey folks, quick question as I'm struggling to get the answer anywhere.

Ive just added the solar man integration this morning on HA, but seems to be falling at the simplest hurdle.

Ive pulled the inverter IP and serial number from the app/soliscloud but the serial number is being rejected, I think cos it's alphanumeric

I've tried the auto discovery option of 0.0.0.0 and 0 for S/N but still zero data

Any guidance even pointing at the right place would be very much appreciated

Thanks for the quick reply, it appear I have the WRONG stick alright. Neighbour who has solis also has it working. His data logger serial is numeric where as mine is longer and alpha numeric, so looks like not a runner.

so off to nail down plan b now… and there was I thinking this would be easy 🤦‍♂️
