I have a Gateway and a pair of AIOs (also an EV charger and a third party solar system with its own inverter, but that's not on topic here).
When the second AIO was installed, most of the settings moved from the AIO to the Gateway. Things like charging schedule, reserve capacity (in fact pretty-well everything) so there was only one place to fiddle about. Fine so far. Something recently changed in the GivEnergy app so a lot of these parameters that were unified in the Gateway have now disappeared and at least some have reappeared in the parameter listings for the individual AIOs. Apart from this being a bit irritating (trying to keep both in step) I'm not convinced that it's working properly at all and some parameters when supposedly written correctly revert to their previous settings. It's as though the app is no longer aware of the hardware configuration and the need to access parameters in the Gateway rather than the individual AIOs. The cloud app still looks correct, but I can't use it because I'm not a subscriber.
Anyway, to my question: does the GivEnergy Inverter Monitor cope with a configuration of more than one AIO attached to a Gateway? If it does, then I'll give it a go; but I don't want to spend forever trying to get it to work if it won't understand the configuration. Has anyone else on the forum got two (or more) AIOs on a Gateway?
Parallel AIO operation
Re: Parallel AIO operation
Hi, is the IP address that the app is looking at set to your gateway. You can have a look at this thread from the GivEnergy forum for more information about the Android Inverter Monitor. https://community.givenergy.cloud/d/183 ... onitor/521
Re: Parallel AIO operation
To configure the app for two AIOs, first start by putting in the IP address for one of the AIOs. Then, in settings, change the number of inverters to 3. Make the second IP address the other AIO, and the third IP address is the Gateway.
With the premium version you can send commands to whichever device you need to, to make it do what you need.
There are lots of quirks. For example your separate solar inverter will be connected to the gateway. The gateway always reports zero for the solar, but passes the reading onto the AIOs. Both AIOs report the same reading. This means if you add them together, the figure gets doubled! With AC-coupled inverters (including the AIO) the app only reports solar from the first inverter.
