Docs: reflect this session's findings across the repo
- top-level README.md (new): system overview, subsystem map, skills pointer, notable findings. - eg4battery README/NOTES: 3 -> 6 packs (pack 6 oddball 0x01/115200); SoC drift + calibration section; closed-loop comms evaluated and rejected (loses per-pack telemetry, no native protocol, doesn't fix drift); how to force a grid charge via output-priority SUB. - LVX6048 README: closed-loop pending item -> resolved decision; new "SoC calibration & known firmware quirks" section (POP single-digit/POP01, MCHGC charge-lock, re_discharge=re-discharge can't exceed float, PIRI lag, powermon adhoc wedge); skills pointer. - lvx-control README: POP encoding fix, POP crc-but-applies quirk, verify-by- behavior, grid-charge-via-SUB usage. - troubleshoot-inverter skill: corrected the stale "dead string per inverter" claim — both strings healthy; low PV is tilt/heat/shade/curtailment.

### Known limitations & quirks

`max_charging_current` (MCHGC) and `max_utility_charging_current` (MUCHGC)
|
||||
return `Failed` via PI18 when the inverter is actively charging (mode 06)
|
||||
— the firmware appears to lock these setters during charge cycles. Other
|
||||
setters (POP / PCP / PSP / PEI / PDI) work in all observed modes. If you
|
||||
need to reliably change the charge-current caps, either:
|
||||
return `Failed` whenever the inverter is **actively charging** (charger_status
|
||||
= `charging`, even while `device_mode` reads `Battery`) — the firmware locks
|
||||
these charge-current setters during charge. Set them only in a pre-charge idle
|
||||
window, or via the LCD (Programs 02 / 11), or `lvx-flash/flash.py apply`.
|
||||
|
||||
- wait for the inverter to settle into Standby (mode 01) and retry, or
|
||||
- change via the LCD (Programs 02 / 11), or
|
||||
- use `lvx-flash/flash.py apply` (it stops the powermon services first,
|
||||
giving exclusive USB access).
|
||||
Other quirks (confirmed 2026-06-25):
|
||||
- **`POP` is single-digit.** `output_priority=solar_battery_utility` must encode
|
||||
as `POP1`, NOT `POP01` — the inverter *silently rejects* the malformed `POP01`
|
||||
(nothing on the `result` topic, no effect). Fixed in `POP_MAP` here and in
|
||||
`flash.py`. If reinstalling, make sure the live `/usr/local/bin/lvx-control`
|
||||
has the fix.
|
||||
- A **`POP` set returns "crc check fails"** on the `result` topic but still
|
||||
applies; `PCP` returns a clean "Succeeded". So verify a POP change by
|
||||
**behavior** (`device_mode` / `line_power_direction`), not the result string.
|
||||
- **PIRI readback lags ~5 min** — don't trust the `*_output_source_priority`
|
||||
sensor to confirm a just-issued change; watch the behavior instead.
|
||||
- If commands stop landing on the `result` topic entirely, powermon's adhoc
|
||||
queue has wedged → `sudo systemctl restart powermon.service powermon2.service`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Forcing a full grid charge (calibration)
|
||||
|
||||
To grid-charge the bank to full (e.g. SoC calibration on a cloudy day), set
|
||||
`output_priority` → `solar_utility_battery` (SUB) so the inverter runs loads off
|
||||
grid and charges the battery to full, plus `charger_priority` → `solar_and_utility`.
|
||||
Revert to `solar_battery_utility` + `solar_first` when done. Automated and
|
||||
safety-monitored by `../../.claude/skills/lib/grid-cal-monitor`.
|
||||
|
||||
Track the `result` topic to see the actual outcome of each command.
