Hi KirkI did a 3 inverter fortress and the envy online portal shows 1 total set of numbers for kWh/day, PV, battery kWh If I want to see individual numbers I have to go into each inverter. The guardian box I think is for web comm for the batteries. I’m waiting for the next firmware upgrade that will allow battery data via the inverter/web interface JayOn Dec 3, 2024, at 5:22 PM, Kirk Herander via RE-wrenches  wrote:Hello,Does anyone know of any documentation or tutorial that exists for this dashboard?

Hi Jay,
Do you remember the details of how you set it up to see the combined
inverter data?
I have an  individual dongle for each inverter tied into the envy
dashboard, but don’t see any means of creating the sums of both in any of
the options.
