1 minute ago, The Blind Wolf said:Sweet, thanks Sid that will be nice to have. As long as the web page is nto some weird java or some kind of thing that don't work with a screen reader.
I'll have to use some Java for status updates...but most of it should be dynamically generated, and hopefully will work with a screen reader. I'm assuming that you can fairly easily navigate standard webpages, dropdowns, option buttons (radio buttons, whatever you call them!) and such with a screen reader?

Yes, as long as the screen reader sees it, if I can use a Windws PC to connect to the gs invert then I can use a more powerful screenr eader. But, I have IOS and Android. If one don't work I can switch to another.
Also, if you can use HTML5 I know it works fine with any screen reader. Java is one of those very dark grey areas for most screen readers.

Absolutely. You can use any WiFi internet-capable device with a web browser to access the page.
I am so hoping the inverters arrive ASAP...which if they do, they'll ship without the added feature (but can be added later via firmware update). If however the inverters are delayed further (thanks a lot shipping company), I might be able to get this feature added before they ship.
If you got a link to a test page, I can tell you yes and no when you get a chance to make one.

Yup, I'm using HTML5 functions. Javascript only for page functionality. Plus a load of CSS thrown in for styling--ah, but you could care less about that 😉

I certainly could do that. Would be very helpful, that's for sure.
Nice, even if you don't get the updated firmware, I can have somebody help me setup the wifi part, and I'm guessing it will still have the web feature to click on upgrad firmware or do I got to do that from the GS?

Firmware upgrade has to be done from the LCD screen, it is not accessible from the web configuration function. At least for now.
Well, I did do html, perl, cgi, java, and other when I was sighted. Just when I went blind I just said the heck with it, since I can't see the web page to place the button where I want and all that other stuff. I used to run Orcal network with 6 PC's. was wanting to get into a job as a IT, but when I was hit with going blind. most compaines will not hire a blind person, since they think we are stupid or something since we can't see the green blinking light on the network cards and crap.
I was going to ask Sean if he needed a person to handle phone calls and stuff, since I ain't got much to do, and right now nobody will hire a blind person these days with everybody fighting to find a job.
So I take it, that I got to have the GS inverter connect to my home wifi and then have the person go to upgrade firmware to update the GS?

Wouldn't hurt to ask. I mean, seriously, once we really get going with GS inverters, he'll need more help than he has right now. Now you'll probably get sick and tired of hanging up on robocallers asking about automobile warranties...but...it might be an option. You'd need to be able to write things down on a computer, but I suppose you're already doing that much already 😉

Basically. If it's connected to your WiFi network, the "WiFi" tab on the screen will show you (ahem, your friend...) if a firmware update is available; it's a pretty simple matter to update it from there. I would have to some pretty extensive work on the web interface to enable updating from the web interface.

Yes. . . Oh yes. . . I'm think I know how, is this wrighting? or typeing? 😛
Good, anything to keep Sean pumping out the inverters and not get so stressed out.
Cause I'm stillw aiting for him to catch up on the so called pay pback 😛

Why not have it auto update? or well, never mind, that would probley shut down the power while updateing I'm almost guessing.
