Hi,
I've been following several threads from this forum regarding technical issues with the BMV 712. I've had the monitor for quite some time and it has never worked right. It has always reported everything incorrectly except for voltage. I have confirmed the wiring is correct from the shunt and replaced the rj12 utp cable, which solved several other users issues, but not mine.
The most strange things are that it always displays a current of about 10.5A without positive or negative denomination and does not discernably change when I either add or remove other loads. It also reports watts at about 185 regardless of my activity. It has never synced correctly although I have fine tuned settings with my smartsolar mppt. I really at this point have no clue what the story is and although my system runs fine, I would like the BMV to do more than just be a voltmeter.
The unit has no issues being powered on and or taking feedback from the app. I am curious if there are any voltsge or current measurements I can take at the shunt or from the utp wire to confirm where the source of the issue lies.
Happy to answer questions. Just need some help.
