Remote Control Phoenix with MPPT Smart Solar

Hi,

I have a MPPT 75/15 and a Phoenix 12/800, can I monitor/control the inverter from the App.

Can I also automatically turn off (remote control) the inverter from the charge controller?

Thanks,

David

I don't think the Phoenix has anything more than a VE.Direct port? So unless you buy the bluetooth dongle you probably can't monitor it. (Not played with either of these myself - best you check this for sure before purchase!)

It would be easy to control the inverter with your MPPT though - if you use the MPPT's load output to power on/off a small 12V relay, and connect the relay terminals across the remote pins of the inverter, you could use the many clever algorithms inside the MPPT to decide when to turn your inverter on or off.
