1 year ago Unfortunately you don't have many options. The WIFI adapter (I assume you have the 2.4G RJ45 D version?) apparently only works with the Solar Guardian app (I have the Android version. With this app, the WiFi adapter can be integrated into your home WLAN. You add Add a gateway in the Solar Guardian app, so you have to scan the QR code that is on the back of the WiFi adapter. Then the charging controller will be selected, depending on what you have, and then you have (or before selecting the Charge controller? I don't know exactly.) the option to select your home WLAN. Later you can also do this in the Solar Guardian app if you go to "Device", your charge controller or inverter will be displayed there and you will have one at the bottom right blue symbol for your gateways. You click on your Wifi 2.4G RJ45 D adapter, a window opens with the gateway details and there are the 3 dots at the top right, there you can then do it again (if you skipped the dot during the initial setup or what). (which I initially simply ignored) carry out the network configuration, i.e. integrate the WIFI adapter into the home WLAN.
With another app, for example EPEVER Pair (local), you can only connect to the Access Point of the Wifi adapter. Unfortunately I never got any further, the charging controller was actually supposed to be identified automatically, but that doesn't work, and selecting it manually doesn't work properly because in the end no data can be retrieved from the charge controller. With EPEVER Pair (Cloud), the 2.4G RJ45 D adapter was never recognized as such for me. Once it was a 2.4G PCB D? Adapter, sometimes an RJ45 A or whatever. At some point I noticed that no WIFI 2.4G RJ45 D adapter can be selected in the EPEVER PAir app, but only the WIFI 2.4G RJ45 C version or completely different adapters, just not the WIFI 2.4G RJ45 D. The WIFI By the way, I didn't even really find 2.4G RJ45 C on the internet, as if this adapter only existed on paper. Only 2 or 3 pieces of information, including a manual for this adapter version, could be found, but there was no shop anywhere, not even on Aliexpress. Other apps from EPEVER, such as the apps for various charging controllers, also seem to require a different version of the WiFi adapter in order to establish a connection successfully. I'm guessing the Wifi 2.4G eBox. I can't say exactly because I don't have these devices. What I can say is that I didn't get the BT RJ45 D version to work either (ChargeController (Sealed) or (Li)) app. Apparently the Wifi eBox or the eBox-BLE-01 Converter is required here. You still have the option of using the RJ45 - USB adapter cable to at least be able to access the PC software.
In my opinion, what EPEVER has fabricated here is terrible.
This is how I now access my Tracer AN: I connected the RS485-1M2S distribution box to the Tracer and the WIFI 2.4G RJ45 D adapter at one output in order to have a permanent connection to the Solard Guardian app and thus to the cloud. (Incidentally, there is another cloud from EPEVER here. This is configured via EPEVER Pair, but as I said, I didn't succeed because the WIFI 2.4G RJ45 D adapter is not integrated.) At the other end I have the EPEVER TCP 306 Box connected in order to be able to access the “Solar Station Monitor” software on the PC via LAN. I was just tired of constantly replugging the RJ45 USB cable with the WIFI adapter because the Solar Station Monitor software doesn't upload the data to the cloud, at least not to the Solar Guardian Cloud. The PC software Solar Guardian also apparently does not load the data into the cloud. Otherwise, this software only seems to connect via an RJ45 USB adapter cable. At least I cannot establish a connection with the Solar Guardian software via the virtual COM interface that I need via the TCP 306 converter for Solar Station Monitor. I was completely fed up and didn't try any further after I was disappointed to find that the TCP 306 converter cannot operate the Solar Guardian Cloud and the Solar Station Monitor software for the PC at the same time. Hence the combination of RS485-1M2S distribution box, TCP 306 converter and WIFI 2.4G RJ45 D adapter.
So now I have written to you with my experiences. I hope I was able to help you with your problem too.
