On my two Deye Hybrid Inverters the Flow Graph of the Grid and Battery consumption stops working as soon the Load drops below 20 Watt. Was it always this way or is it something new? Or do I have another problem?

Do you mean the flow animation stops?

 

It's not something I've noticed, but our load almost never gets that low and I rarely look at the displays anyway.

Yes, the flow animation on the LCD Display stops and also subsequently in the Solarman App.

I wonder if <20W is at the limit of the system measurement. If it's all working ok I wouldn't worry.

 

Solar Assistant doesn't have flashy animations 🙂

Yeah, I disconnected from the web and Solarman/Deyecloud after Deye deliberately bricked a bunch of inverters in the US.

 

I'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me

 

Solar Assistant runs on a Raspberry-Pi and is quite happy to not be connected to the web.

Solar Assistant is still on my to-do-list while I dither about which Raspberry-Pi and screen combo to go for. The Pi will be located in my mechanical room with my inverters, but it would be great to have a screen showing the state of all 4 inverters and batteries, without having to cycle through 4 inverters to get to the information in Watts.

We're running on an Orange Pi 3 LTS, no need for a screen (never even connected one for setup), the web interface is pretty good.

 

Main dashboard (running off-grid hence the grid voltage of 6.5V): -

 

 

Click on the "Inverter" icon and you get this: -

Ok you convinced me. No more dithering, just order the Orange Pi 3 LTS with software pre-installed.

Exactly what I did

 

It did take a while to arrive mind, unlike stuff from China 😞
