SOLARMAN Smart 4+

The app is nice and user friendly but the battery percentage shown on the app is not accurate generally it is way more than what actually is like the app shows 62% whereas the battery is 30%.. the connection is ok as everything else works fine.. Thank you for a nice app and appreciate if this can be resolved

The app is ok. Works as published, but really needs some UI improvements. It really was decent 8 years ago. But for 2023, it looks aged.

0). Data isn’t pushed.. you have to manually refresh each time you want updated data. Which is an issue due to next 2 problems

1). Parameters staying as selected. If you want to see other available parameters, you have to manually select them. Then, when you refresh, to get new data, you loose your settings

3). Each day, the scale of the parameters is different based on usage or generation. So when you are scrolling between days. It “looks” like you generated the same, when in fact, the app is changing the scales on you. I realize some people want to see “pretty” curves, but I’d prefer to see apples to apples comparison. Not just maximize viewing. This could be a setting as “persistence”.

In general I am glad to have an app to check on our solar production and energy use, but the app could be improved. I may sound a bit negative here, as I hope the developer will make an effort to improve this otherwise useful app.
1. The energy use and consumption should be in real time. It is always btwn 10-20 min delayed. It would be helpful in order to relate to our particular use of certain appliances etc.
2. The ‘statistics’ bar graph shows as a default energy use and production. Would be nice if it could remember what an individual user wants to see in that graph (such as power purchase or SOC, just to name a few).
3. In the last update that bar graph becomes not cell phone friendly once I choose to display more parameters (too vertically stretched out).

Thanks for your good work and hope it can be tweaked.
