Connecting Using The 'Home' Option In The App

Connecting Using The 'Home' Option In The App

The “Home” option allows you to monitor your inverter directly over your local Wi-Fi.

  1. Make sure your app is up to date.

  2. Open the app and go to ☰ → Settings → Local Monitoring.

  3. Tap Scan for Inverter (ensure you’re on the same Wi-Fi as the inverter).

  4. Select your inverter and connect.

Important:

  • The Home option only works if your phone is on the same Wi-Fi access point.

  • Mesh networks or extenders may prevent connection.

Troubleshooting:

  • Enable location services and local network permissions in your phone settings.

  • If still unable to connect, assign a static IP to the inverter via your router.

When to Contact Support:

If local monitoring fails after trying all steps.
