This driver allows for easy integration of Control4 into multiple inverter & solar systems via the SolarAssistant product.
SolarAssistant is software used to monitor and control your solar system. It is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi that is plugged into the solar inverter and optionally a battery BMS. The idea is that you leave the PI running permanently. The application can be accessed from a web browser or the Android/iPhone app via local network or the internet.
There are 3 Drivers in this Driver Suite:
- SolarAssistant Interface (HM_SolarAssistant_Interface.c4z)
- SolarAssistant Battery (HM_SolarAssistant_Battery.c4z)
- SolarAssistant Inverter (HM_SolarAssistant_Inverter.c4z)
