WI-FI Connection Instruction for ShineWIFI-X and ShineWIFI-S

An instruction for WI-FI connection using ShineWIFI-X and ShineWIFI-S

[@sergejalkh]

Thank you that was extremally helpful, I used the IP Address to configure it directly it took me 1 minute

[@JorisBokkerink]

Very helpful.

[@lokeshTM]

useful information. I got my smten app set up done using this video

[@SSE71]

I am pretty good with technology but I could not get this to work. After a good half-day messing with this I used the manual method shown in this video (about 4:50 through). The video is clear and as long as you follow the instructions it is fairly easy with a small amount of knowledge. The dongle them immediately connected to the network with the flashing blue success LED. However this only connects the dongle to your wifi network. The app on your phone is not connected to anything. You then need to run through Option 1 of the setup to connect the app to the dongle (just run 'configure' with your home wi-fi network set). My app then connected although it did seem to take a few minutes. Everything is up and running now.

Hi Growatt, I have a Shine wifi-S but my router is 2.4 & 5GHz dual. Do I need to use a Shine link-S with Shine RF? Thank you for any advise

[@whereintheworldarethemorgans]

Configuration repeatedly fails. I have contacted the support team WEEKS ago at the email address provided. Is there another way to monitor the energy usage because this WiFi is junk evidently. I am so frustrated. I have the 6kwh inverter. Thank you.

Dear Growatt, I would be grateful for advice, I am doing the configuration and the looger is blinking blue, i.e. it has a connection and the server. However, it is not added to the account and monitoring is not possible. If I add it manually from the desktop computer to the account then it has the connection lost status. What is the cause? It seems to me that the equipment is working properly, but there is a software problem with assigning the logger to the account and downloading data from it. I tried to wait a while to see if the situation would change, but it didn't work. What should I think about it? I will be grateful for the hint. Logger is ShineWiFi-x

Any idea how to change an existing logger's wifi? Do I need to reset and basically go through the same setup? Will existing data remain?

[@RaptorSA]

Hi, I have a shinewifi-s usb model connected to my Growatt SPF 5000TL Inverter. The connection works and the logger is set up correctly on my server.growatt plant configuration. The problem is I have no idea what the "key" password is when trying to change any of the settings for the inverter via. the wifi module (e.g. increasing/decreasing the max charge current). The closest I could find was some old documentation that specifies the key value to be: datalog + the current date (e.g. datalog20210411). That doesn't work. Please can you assist. I've been looking for a solution on this for months. Thanks!

The video is all about the Growatt Dongle X. It briefly showed the most common WiFi Dongle (rectangle one). The button on this dongle is not visible . Since the video does not cover that dongle, which is said to be the most common one, the video is not really useful. Why not modify this video to include both the dongles and be useful to all?

[@shaneuren1975]

[@jesperpedersen9888]

Hi Growatt. The installer code is required since September 2021. I've tried to uptain the installer code via the OSS registration page. I fill in the required information and upload my reciept, but the system seems not to accept my reciept and asks for company business license. What is the company business license, or how am I supposed to be able to proceed? Thanks, Jesper

Maybe a late response, but the installer code is not mandatory if you choose Other as Country during account registration. After account registration, you can choose the correct country during creation of your plant.
