BOOM! Instant, solid-state smart light switch in your solar-powered shed! Just about all the Renogy controllers use the same or very similar protocol as far as I can tell and they will even provide you with their official spec if you ask them on their forums (this PDF and other documentation are floating around in various GitHub repos). The 10A wanderer lets you control the switched output via modbus too. I was convinced I had mine wrong until I tried 0xFF.Īs an aside for others: these controllers are awesome, reasonably priced and give you a ton of data. Smart 4 Stage PWM charging (Bulk Boost Float and Equalization) and temperature compensation increases battery life and improves system performance. I am assuming you have also double-checked the wiring on your RS232 adapter–they can be easy to wire up wrong. Owners Manual for RENOGY models including: Solar Charge Controller. Renogy Wanderer Li 30A PWM Charge Controller Optimized for a 12V system Deep cycle Sealed Gel Flooded and Lithium battery option ready. I am very new to modbus though so I was doing a lot of learning at the same time! I listed out all of mine as read type at first too and they did not work properly. Basically every register is of ‘holding’ type, not ‘read’ type.Not sure if Renogy changed something and this is the actual address or if it’s a bug somewhere–I have not hooked it up to anything other than ESPHome yet to verify but that’s what worked for my model. Despite the majority of people and documentation listing the address as 0x0, for my 10A Renogy Wanderer purchased via Amazon a few months ago, the address to use in esphome is actually 0xFF.I have not posted my configs to GitHub yet, but looking at your config, I have two comments when comparing to what I got working that might help you: I spent a lot of time fiddling with this a month or two ago and eventually got it to work. Indicates a critical procedure for safe and proper operation of the controller. Use extreme caution when performing this task. The following symbols are used throughout the manual: Indicates a potentially dangerous condition. Here is the link to the solar controller: This manual contains important safety, installation, and operating instructions for the charge controller. This is the link to the GitHub that has provided the most information on the Renogy Wanderer. # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails WANDERER 10A-181130- Main Screen Error Code Load mode Solar Panel Voltage Charging Current Battery Voltage BATT Load Current nr-n 0.063in R 1. # for receiving smart meter data on pin D7 (GPIO13). 100W Monocrystalline Panel and 30A PWM Wanderer Charge Controller 553. # Otherwise the logger will occupy the hardware UART, making it unavailable The Renogy 100 Watt Flexible Solar Panel is a monocrystalline panel ideal for. PV Input Power: 400W: Rated Charge Current: 30A: Max. Let alone the investment on my system and trailer.# Serial logging is disabled by setting the logger baud rate to 0. The Renogy Wanderer Li 30A Negative PWM Charge Controller Nominal Voltage: 12 VDC: Max. It cycles through real-time system specs, such as charging current and PV voltage. Wanderer 10A The Wanderer 10A has an LCD display instead of LED indicators. If both are green, everything is working fine. The LEDs make it easy to monitor your system at a glance. Safety red flags in a few ways and I just can’t risk my camp trailer or personal safety to this model. The Wanderer 30A’s manual has a chart showing what the various LED indicators mean. I appreciate the attempt but with the seriousness of several failures I have no faith in this make and model wanderer 10 amp anymore. Was a email a day for a few days and kinda went quiet until your post in here. I will say nice hearing from you in here though and attempting to reach out. 14.13 was final point of charge which is still OVER the charge numbers expected. Luckily Ampere time makes a solid battery option and good protection. Should this have been a non sealed deep cycle, AGM or anything WITHOUT battery protection the potential was there for a battery to be destroyed, potentially worse. I have to say a run away CHARGE Situation is extremely unacceptable. Bought through amazon and probably will return to them. Without going into E02 and E04.Īppears I may have been lucky and battery damage was prevented by the battery BMS. Click to expand.Not sure if you caught the other recent event.īut after two days controller has went even more nuts and attempted to over charge my battery refusing to get out of primary / boost charge mode.
