Bad news. version 1.1r3 don't like being online. my slave won't stay connected ever since updated to 1.1r3 and my master hates wifi at times too to the point it drops it. seems a lot worse.

Hmm.  Checked my house inverter, it's been running for 6 days with 1.1r3, and curiously it says the hotspot is gone (which it isn't).  Need to look into this one...

I didn't change much with the WiFi stuff on 1.1r3.  So this is a bit confusing...

I haven't had any issues with WIFI since the update but their can be a lot of different things that can affect a WIFI signal.  The main WIFI 802.11ac access point in my house is only about 5 feet from the inverter on the opposite side of the pump/utility room.  I haven't looked at the inverter screen since the update but the webpage is updating as usual.

Glad to hear; keep me posted.  I really don't like these bugs that are somewhat random--and worse, when they only affect certain customers.  That's basically the description of a developers nightmare 🤯.  At least my house inverter seems to be affected, so I'm not completely unaware of the issue!

I tried cycling the WiFi setting off and back on this morning on my house inverter...and the WiFi board crash-restarted.  Never had that happen before (from toggling that setting anyhow!), but if I can recognize a pattern, that'd be immensely helpful.  (Tried cycling the WiFi setting off/on a few minutes later, and it worked as expected.)

Not sure if the newly added local server function is at fault...it shouldn't be doing anything if it's not being used.  I'm aware that I made some mistakes with the mDNS / DNS namespace, which might have something to do with it??

Well both worked fine when I was running 1.1r2. the master is showing online only but, it dropping and coming back up at random while the page is up.  The slave still not came back on the page, its like its not even there, and its being used running my printers.  once the print done, I was going to power cycle the unit.  but, either way, both was working fine when I ran the house and that was after the update, so not sure why it decideing to drop the wifi,  could it be the extention cord that is plugged into the slave ?

Doubt it.

Well, if it's acting up on your system, that's a great opportunity to try a process of elimination to figure out what's going wrong.  If it's really consistently acting up, I might start testing by turning the new local server off...see if that helps.

Well, turning off the local host well thats a video call lol.

 

I'm guessing around maybe 5 more hourse on the last print that is running, don't want to stop on it since its one of those prints that has about 30 parts on one print bed.  My big production printer took a dump and the power supply went out, which isn't a surprise so got another printer on the way to replace it and going to buy a bigger power supply to upgrade the other printer since the one it comes with is under powered to begain with, dang cheap idiots. .  put a 350w on a device that needs 450w to run at 24v, real smart.

 

Hmmm didn't think about it, I could run those printers off of my battery bank.  wow, would save on power if I did that. . .

Well, I reset the slave and its staying connected now.  maybe it just had a bad boot up issue?  Might be in the boot up section since you said yours had some kind of error when you reset the wifi on your gs.

Also, do these GS come with different cpu speed or something?  I noticed my slave comes right on when I hit the power button, the master seems to take one extra secord or two before the fans start up.

Nope, as soon as the printer kicked on for a print the slave wifi just drop.  with no load it was fine, with load it drops it.

correction the slave is still online, now the master is the one that is down. just odd as heck. earlier it was the slave and master up, now its reverse as soon as I put the printer on.

Nope, they're all the same.  The startup delay on the fans is literally the fans--while I haven't pinned down why, PWM fans sometimes respond instantly...and other times the exact same fan will ignore a PWM signal for several seconds.

Weird.  My inverter's been running ~800W all day, WiFi is working fine.  Not sure what's going on.

the wifi board dosn't have anything to do with the N line by chance would it?  The Reason I ask, is the both inverters are hooked up to the breaker with the breakers off, but the N line is still going to the breaker reguardless if the breaker is on or off.

WiFi board has battery power and a comm cable to the control board.  There are also optically and magnetically isolated voltage and amperage (respectively) feedback lines going to it.  The actual AC power is completely electrically isolated from all processors, etc.

Well, something is going on, either its cause I'm running two gs and a conflict is going on.  other then that I do n't know.  everything is the same other then the master has no load on it right now, b ut the slave does, maybe one of the inverters need a channel change?
