Following my previous post, I have another request which follows on.
Today's solar inverters all have ethernet ports to connect to the internet.
In the old days, inverters had a screen and a row of buttons to
configure the inverter, stuff like language, country in which it is
operating etc.
These days inverters never have screens which is probably a good thing
saving on cost.
To set one up out of the box, you can either connect to an internal LAN
by wireless or with a cable into the Ethernet socket. You then have to
connect to a webpage with an address which contains the serial number of
the device.
I am curious about what is going on here but have been unable to phrase
a search for Google. Does the technique have a name?
I am responsible for running the Christmas tree lights on a community
space nearby and we have a battery power supply which is controlled by a
Raspberry Pi zero. It would be great if I could make changes remotely
with my phone instead of wading in the mud to get to the battery box.
I guess all the heavy lifting has been done and there is a nice article
out there.
Thanks
Roger
