[RE-wrenches] Midnite Inverter products, monitoring

[Jason Szumlanski]

My first AIO/PowerFlo16 is coming up, and it's a triple inverter
installation. I can't wait!

But I thought the Firmware update process was much easier – all available
to do remotely. Is that not the case? I assume it requires a Windows laptop
like EG4, HomeGrid, etc. That's something else I don't want to carry in my
truck. I'm a Mac user.
