Jackery solarvault does not receive Homey Energy Dongle data

Hi all,

UPDATE: after setting Local API on Enabled for the Homey energy dongle Jackery doesn’t show the dongle as offline anymore. Still no data however.

My Jackery solarvault 3 pro max AC does not receive data from the homey energy dongle. I hope anyone can help.

What I did:

I bought and installed the Jackery Solarvault 3 pro max AC recently. All went well, until I tried to couple my Homey energy dongle to the solarvault so it knows my energy consumption and production. Initially I had some issues finding the dongle in the first place. After a few tries Jackery found the dongle and I was able to add it as a device to the Jackery app. However, right from the start it listed the dongle as offline and it did not receive any data from it. I am using a TP link deco mesh network, and I suspect that that causes the communication problem.

Actions I have taken:

  • Deleted and added the dongle a few times.
  • Ensured that both devices connect to the same deco access point.
  • Ensured they both use the 2,4ghz band.
  • Activated the ‘stable connection’ setting.
  • Ensured the energy dongle is online and providing data through my Homey Pro.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix. Help is much appreciated!

By the way, I also asked Jackery for support, but I’m still waiting for them to wake up (9 AM PST).
