Perfect.  You can press the "Exit" button on the inverter, and you're good.

You should now see "Connected" on both the "WiFi" and "MQTT" lines.  If so, we're pretty well set.  I just need to stop tinkering with the code and get you a Tech update...if you want to get it done right now.

Assuming you have an alternate power source available for your WiFi router and Internet source?

I haven't released it, haha.  Been tinkering with something else.  But I can increase the thresholds in code and "Tech" it to you.  You'll need to set the "Update Branch" on your inverter (WiFi page) to "Tech"; it's likely on "Rev." or "Major".  Once you have it set there, I can send a Tech to the server, and you should see it.

Give me a minute, I'll get an update popped to the server, you should see it, "Get 1.1r6" after validating it.  I haven't bumped the version code, so it's the same version as your inverter currently is running.

Should download and install (rebooting the inverter); I bumped the thresholds up SLIGHTLY, not significantly.

If the error happens again, I'd appreciate a photo of the "DVLT" oscilloscope channel--that will show me what's going on.

(you'll have to manually click the "Get 1.1r6" button, it won't automatically update)

Sorry, my fault.  I shouldn't be doing Tech updates while working on the WiFi board code....I can mess up the critical stuff pretty easily.  Forgot that the webpage files weren't cached.......rookie programmer mistake.  I shoulda run a quick test on a bench inverter before having you download the update.

Thinking we should redo the Tech update (you'll have to re-set it back to Tech); I'll restore the webpage files back to the original files expected for that firmware update...just so you don't get stuck up a creek without a paddle.
