Re: [RE-wrenches] XW Pro multi-inverter

Hi Kent, I appreciate the sound tip on the water fill jug! OK, there is an issue here and I did a temporary fix. There is 1.10 firmware that was supposed to be out at xmas. It is coming and they know about this. I assume you have other devices? Mppts, Bat mon, or SCP. and the Gateway! Let me
