You have to re-add your systems every time they do an update

Awful software updates

Do this company even test their updates. Previously an update on EPEVER Pair software basically bricked the app for iPhone users and I could not connect to my mppt for months. Now after only a few weeks after finding new software Solar Guardian that was working until latest update I again cannot connect via Bluetooth. Spend the extra money and get Victron.

Broke it again…

Every few months they update the app, and break it with no UX designers to inform the public how to make it work. It’s unfortunate, as Epever makes a good product, but their development team don’t seem to know how application development works in a professional environment. Gives Chinese software development a really bad name. Victron has lowered their prices so much and manage to update their app without breaking connectivity, so there really isn’t a good reason to choose Epever now.

Finally!

Seems like after a couple of apps and attempt they finally got a good functional app for Bluetooth connection. Speed of connection is much faster and the range has even seemed to increase as I was not able to connect from another room previously. Nice work.

Great for Bluetooth on Tracer AN charge controller

I have an Epever Tracer AN 30A charge controller and I have been using the RS435 port wire-connected to a Windows computer to program/monitor it. Not very convenient and the app is not very user friendly. Got the Bluetooth adapter, downloaded this app for my iPhone and easily got it connected. No registration required for Bluetooth (“Local Connection “). The app is excellent, with clear displays for real-time data, and several other displays for the settings. The only odd thing is that when the app first starts up the “current setting” may not be correct. To make sure you have the correct current setting you need to hit the “Read” button at the bottom of the page. Why doesn’t this happen automatically when the app connects to the Tracer? It was also like this on the Windows app. To change settings you type in the new values in the current setting field and then hit the “Apply” button at the bottom of the page. There is also a “Reset” button. Not sure what this will do.

Excellent in principle, but still quite buggy

New app is much improved, well done Epever! However, the app is still very buggy which is a real shame as the new layout and features are quite good.

Curve analysis on local connection sometimes shows battery voltage at 3x or 4x what it actually is (you can imagine my panic first time this happened).

Data analysis often shows missing data at the end of the line graph. The window (where you click on the line graph) often has missing items. Real time analysis doesn’t refresh properly. Quite a few other bugs, but I’m just listing what I encountered the last time I used it.

One final request to the Epever team: Please allow the Solar Guardian PC app to connect via WiFi (without a cable). We know this is possible as YouTube videos show people using a TCP to Serial emulator (without any problems), but you seem to have disabled this feature with updates to the WiFi adapters.

Aplicación Guardián Solar Internal server error

Saludos a todos. Recientemente la aplicación Guardián Solar dejó de trabajar en mi iPhone cuando trato de verla online. Solo la puedo monitorear en forma local. El mensaje que me envía es el siguiente: Internal Server Error. Por lo demás la califico 5 estrellas. Gracias por lo que pueda hacer.

Sen

Epever gone in reverse direction with this app. Very Very poor app. Load power is the most important parameter in consumer end and this parameter is removed. Generation income statistics don’t work, real time PV , battery voltage, battery capacity curves not there!!!. Very awful app.
When trying to add one of my inverter, the app keep saying “device already exists “ .
Technical support from epever doesn’t help much .

Garbage

Everytime you enter a. Password it says must use numbers and letters . Try it never works , joke

Almost unusable

Such a pain to sign up and link to the gateway (WiFi adapter). Even when connected, interface is slow and buggy. Network connection is unreliable. Even when it eventually does work, the data is not complete.
