I have an issue with staying connected to my servo GX once the sun goes down. I lose my Wi-Fi connection for some reason and then I have a hard time getting it back in the morning until late morning early midday my Wi-Fi connection is good to the servo GX, please help
The thought that comes to mind is the power to the GX and/or the WiFi Router is connected to the LOAD output of a solar controller and that is configured to be active only when there is a PV voltage present.
if yours was a reply to my answer, than "the entire "load" side of the system is basically a common positive/negative rail straight to the battery, no?" is NO, it is not. the LOAD on a solar controller goes through the controller and if a Victron solar controller can be turned on and off by various methods.
I don't know if the OP has his Cerbo and/or wifi router conencted in this way, but it is a scenario that could create his problem.
@James Trotter The load output is configurable and it could have disconnected as a result of e.g. a voltage drop that turned it of when the solar stopped producing. I am also interested to know what type of battery, what are the daytime vs sunset voltages measurements, does the cerbo lights still show activity at night etc. etc.
I changed the hookups going straight to the batteries now. So here’s 2 things I have for y’all. So my system is in my garage. My garage is not attached to my house, I have a Wi-Fi booster/extender on the outside of my house facing the garage. Normally, I have absolutely no issues with this with my TV that I have out there which I have Roku on, as well as my phones, however, when I close my garage door, which is thin aluminum, I lose signal. Then the only way to reconnect to the Wi-Fi I have to unplug the power source from the Cerbo GX And then it will reconnecttothe Wi-Fi rinse and repeat every day. I understand that I need to do some thing about keeping the Wi-Fi connected, but why do I need to disconnect the power from the Cerbo GX every time in order for it to reset?
