[RE-wrenches] SMA & Solar-Log

[Dana]

I am not a salesman for S-L but there are many-many options more than I needed that the meter could accommodate. Most of which I was not even aware of till we were doing setup.
Please contact S-L for the long list.

I am going to take look at the web page. For now you are saying you can get most of the data from the "solar log" as the old Sunny comms?  I really need to know if the battery charged yesterday and if it is trying to charge today. The rest of the data is nice but for remote monitoring this all I need. I have several Schneider comboxes that also take an opening from an AUX input and sends that out to the web as a closure/opening for a burgler alarm. Nice to have that also....
