Thanks that gives me a ton of info. Appreciate it.
I forget where I heard, but the only issue ive heard about with one of those all in one inverter/battery units is that the modern ones are heavily app focused, locking features out without using an app. And one of the reasons you would use a battery in the first place is if power or other essential services are out. In the case I remember the individual was frustrated because without the app, you couldn’t modify anything on the device…which seems very bad.
I may look into this further, again appreciate it! Ive been looking for something for my shed for close to a year, but I dont want to drop $500+ on something only designed to work for a couple of years.

Sadly, that’s how this one is but the defaults are sane enough that you could get by without it. I didn’t buy it for the features that need the cloud service, so if those are unavailable, that was fine for my use case. The consolation is that configuring it can all be done with just the app over Bluetooth.
I’m hoping someone reverse engineers the Bluetooth protocol. I did a HCI dump while it was connecting and streaming data, but I can’t make the slightest bit of sense of it.
