renogy commands

[riker65]

Hi
I am wondering if there is a way to reset / restart the charger via command?
sometimes the rover got stuck and I have to reset it via disconnecting.

Would be much easier if this would be possible via command with nc....

Thanks

If you have the Rover config server setup (https://solarthing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config/config-server.html), then you should be able to give it a factoryreset !! command. Like so:

factoryreset !!

The !! is a safeguard I put in place. Feel free to run something like factoryreset lololol, and it should give you an error. Please note that the number of arguments is important (it won't recognize factoryreset arg1 arg2 or just factoryreset).

Please keep in mind that a factory reset will RESET ALL YOUR SETTINGS and reset any historical data that the rover stores in its internal memory (unrelated to historical data SolarThing itself stores). I also haven't tested the factory reset in a long time. I think I personally tested it once, and I assume that it still works as intended.

Now, what I don't understand is why that would be necessary. What do you mean that the rover "got stuck"? I've never had any problem like that.
