Been great for years but it won't work with the latest Android 9 update. Well it's started working but things have to be changed to get a menu.
Works great! Very simple to connect to sma sunny boy inverter with piggyback module
cant open setup menu, cant connect inverter.
I have been using this app for years! Pretty awesome app.
update (3 at this time) Out of frustration of other apps I revisited this one, hoping it was updated to support android 6 and higher so I can use it on my S10e I really wish I could pay for this or donate. It still is the best out there. You have no idea how I missed this app when it wasn't compatible with newer OS. Hardwareused: Sunnyboy 3000 series, HTC Desire S, Samsung S10e (android 10)
Hi all.I have been using this app since its inception. Other than a few user errors I have not had any problems. Anything I wasnt sure about was rectified immediately. Excellent customer service. Open to feedback on improvements. Still using it 2020
App now compatible with Android 10. Awesome. Thanks mate
Works faultlessly with my SMA 3600TL. Thank you for such an amazing App. Col, West Mids UK *********************************************** Updated! Now working again with Android 10. Thanks for the updated release Steve! Col.
I have downloaded so many apps to read my inverter units that have been useless. I finally decided to pay for this one. It's great. It's easy. And it works. I can see my output from my Samsung Galaxy 10 minutes away. Love it. thanking you!!! And again, when I had issues with my Inverter date, Steve was fantastic. You will love this App!
Great app and top support from developer. It just does its thing and backs up data every day without issues. Good job.
Similar to other reviews, I can't get the settings to come up. Have long pressed the back button and nothing happens. One Plus 3, Android 7.1.1 UPDATE: emailed developer and got a quick response. Update: Needed to change my 'button' settings to enable menus to appear. Have since been able to connect my inverter. Thanks!
After setting up troubles the developer contacted me with a very comprehensive support. I would recommend using this App.
On newer phones - HOLD DOWN THE BACK BUTTON, TO GET THE MENU!
Works perfectly with my SMA3800
I recently had to reinstall this on my pixel 2 with Android 10. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get access to the menu so I can't configure or use it anymore.
App works perfectly with my sma 3000tl-21 uploading realtime to pvoutput using an old htc wildfire s. Steve is very helpful. He has never failed to respond to my ongoing technical queries and has even helped/offered advice with my system..get this app! - it just works.
Worked great for ages but now won't work on my new phone as it doesn't display a soft menu button. Needs an update to work on all devices without hardware menu buttons. Galaxy S7.
Was top shelf app but upon installing on new Samsung GALAXY S7 edge can no longer access the settings menu. Quicks Comms have put me straight all working great
Just bought a Samsung tab s2 9.7 running Nougat...no settings option so can't connect Long press of the 'back' button brings up the options menu. All is well.
Absolutely invaluable for owners of solar PV systems
Needs to be updated for nougat
Fantastic. Easy to set up and use. Great range of info. First class app. First class support. SMA sunny boy 3600tl inverter. Samsung galaxy s3. S4 and S5neo.
App works perfectly and the developer has always been very helpful with answering my questions. Keep up the good work Steve.
Downloaded for SMA 5000TL. At first wasnt sure of start up procedure but quick email with very quick response explained all. Very satisfied. Thanks.
This is a really good app and connects easily to my SMA STP 12000 however the graph scales dont go high enough for my system so they graph off the page. Not a big issue as there are other history views that show it all clearly. This app works well and is worth the download.
Had this app over 12 months now. First installed on a nexus 7, no problems. Now run on galaxy tab 4 10.1 Initially could not find menu bar, but after an email and quick reply, fount it. (Long press on running programs button) Really easy to see panel output to see if I can put kettle on 😁 If you have panels, buy it.
Easy to set up and super support. Does all the things I want (except upload to pachaube/cosm/xively - another enhancement?) - stores the data to Dropbox. Even buying a dedicated Android device makes it cheaper than a Sunny Beam and you can do a lot more with it! Thanks
One of the only paid App I have and is the best value and easy to use with a SMA and PVoutput. The App is updated regularly and the Developer is very responsive. Menu button issue for Android 10 now fixed with Ver 1.32 :)
