Hello. I just got a new solar modules installation with solax solax x3 hybrid g4. Wifi device type is WIFI3.0 version number on app is 3.015.02. Firmware version number when connecting to device ip (using home network): 3.001.02 I can see, that wifi created additional wifi AP. I tried accessing it via APP using local connect and it works as expected. In HA solax integration description page I read, that newer dongles and firmware would need wifi proxy Anyway I tried adding solax integration into home assistant from my home network. Provided device ip address (made it static from router) and as a password I used wifi dongle s/n. And it works! Why does it work without wifi proxy and what should I do to keep it working forwards on? Prevent wifi dongle firmware updates? And another question can I disable that open wifi AP form the dongle itself, as I don't need it?

Just updated firmware. They've decided to expose the info locally now in a way that's (almost) usable. Just need them to do it in a properly tagged, documented way so we don't have to reverse engineer lists of a few hundred numbers. This seems to be a general improvement with them - i've one of the newest X1-IES setups. It's still got the local access via the dongle access point for 'live' data, but recent updates to the app let you have live data via Solax (10s updates) and there's a tickbox to update the front page diagram every 10s too in the latest update.
