[APP][PRO] Connect Solar Solax Inverter to Homey

No problem, Douwe,

I expect the Homey cache gets cleared by uninstalling the Solax app, and
(optional extra step: disconnect the power for 10 minutes, and after Homey startup is completed, )
install the app again.

Ah, thanks, I’ll give it a try.
I removed the SolaX app and completely powered off Homey from the 230V for 10 minutes. Unfortunately, that didn’t solve the issue either. Too bad. Thanks for the tip anyway. We’ll keep looking.

It’s very unlikely but are you using some special antivirus protection on your router, which replace the HTTPS certificate during connection to check SSL traffic?

Thanks for thinking along. I’ve connected the Homey to an Asus router via UTP. I haven’t tinkered with its settings. In the meantime, I did reset that part of the pipeline as well. Unfortunately, no luck. It remains a strange phenomenon.

Right.
It still might be Homey’s clock being off, Douwe (despite what it shows you)

To force Homey’s clock to now:

  • go to Location
  • move the map to have the pointer point in another timezone
  • wait a minute
  • move the map back, to have the pointer point to Homey’s location, or enter the address of Homey’s location
    (changes are getting auto-saved)

Hi Peter, thanks for the tip. I just gave it a try. I uninstalled the SolaX app and virtually relocated my Homey from the Netherlands to South Sumatra (Martapura) for a few minutes. Interestingly, the time zone switched to Asia/Jakarta, but the actual time didn’t change. If that was the idea, I couldn’t quite get that part to work.

After that, I reinstalled the app, but unfortunately, I’m still getting the same error message as before. I think I’ll throw in the towel now—unfortunately, it’s not working. Thanks anyway for thinking along!

Hello, for a flow I need to know the different possible states of the “Run Mode” tag. When everything is fine it is on “Normal”. I need to know all the other possible states. I can’t find it after searching. Could you please help me ?
Thanks

YW!

When it’s about the local time, it should.

So, I just tested with Jakarta as well, got the same results :man_shrugging: no change!

Then I set it to Sydney, and that changed the local time like it should:

Can you give it a go using Sydney?
Preferably use https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/system to view the time.

Hi Peter, this morning I selected Sydney. The time via your link does indeed show the local Sydney time. After that, I installed the SolaX app, both while set to Sydney and back home in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, neither worked successfully.

Is it possible that there’s another cache memory somewhere in the Homey that might need clearing?


Ah that"s a real bummer.
I have no other ideas to clear a cache somewhere, but to perform a factory reset and start from scratch (because restoring a backup probably restores the cache as well, which is unwanted…)

But first I’d like to recommend to inform with Athom support what could be the cause of the certificate rejection by Homey.
And maybe the app dev can (double) check if the app cleans up everything as should, after de-installing

@Michal_Stranik did you look perhaps to my last post? there you can see the difference between before the update and after.
