I also have 8 Pytes connected to Schneider InsightHome. I set the Pytes to Luxpower ( dduudd ) which means 001100 on the 6-pin dip switch. BLU & BLU-wht (pin 4 & 5) at the CAN port of the battery. InsightHome thinks it is talking to Pylon batteries. </div><div><br></div><div>2. Also, when I plug the MidNite Powerflo16 into insight home, same story: <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">BLU & BLU-wht (pin 4 & 5) at the CAN port of the Powerflo16 to Insight, which thinks it’s talking to a Pylon battery. </span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Therefore: put the Pytes DIP to 001100 and use standard rj-45 cable to AIO. They will talk to each other as Pylon protocol. </span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If AIO has Pylon as a setting maybe that’s better.

Just set the 6-pin on the master and leave the rest of the battery dips off. It’s easy to upgrade the firmware via HyperTerminal and that might be a different truck roll. </span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Wire the Pytes Link ports, master link1 to slave link0 (slave link1 to next slave link0), last slave link0 is open.
