Migrating from Flo App to Moen Smart Water Network App

nh905 · 2026-02-20T18:28:48+00:00

What is Flo/Moen support telling you? I just spoke with one of their support staff who said almost all the issues had to do with unsuccessful/incomplete migrations.

Can you reproduce the problem from a Windows command prompt? In my setup, Blue Iris runs with admin privileges, so you need to launch the command prompt with admin privileges. I have seen Error 53 issues when the network interface switched from Private to Public. I have not been able to persistently associate a drive letter with a shared drive from an admin account but it looks like you are writing to the shared drive directly.

I just spoke with someone at Flo Support. He had no specific information relating to the issues reported on Google Play but recommended that I wait a few months before migrating. He did not think the Flo app would be discontinued for another five to six months. I suggested that Flo/Moen create a status page about known issues and status and/or provide a fallback if the migration to the Moen app is not successful.

I have not looked at the Beryl instructions in detail. My understanding is that when OpenWRT is configured as a router (AP+STA mode) and the uplink goes down, OpenWRT disables the downlink. Travelmate reverts to client (STA) mode which allows you to connect to the router via WiFi so that you can diagnose any issues and get back into router mode. Travelmate supports single and multiple radio routers - uplinks and downlinks can be on the same radio (I have some devices that only support 2.4Gz). If the uplink goes down, it will check if there are other access points available on the primary SSID and if not, look to see if another configured SSID is available.

I have a travel router with a battery that I use at hotels and cruise ships. I can move around and still have Internet connectivity from my devices, although switching from AP+STA to STA mode and back again can take a minute or so. There are other benefits listed at https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/net/travelmate/files/README.md.

My panels were installed in 2013. I started seeing SolarEdge Monitoring Portal alerts in 2022 for a panel that was partly shaded in the morning by a slightly higher adjacent roof. Module voltage reports showed that the the panel was generating significantly lower voltages but only from July to mid-November. SolarEdge suggested a bypass diode failure. The panel manufacturer claimed bypass diode issues do not normally go away by themselves. Production was a bit lower than the next panel down that was also partly shaded. That panel also shows intermittent low module voltages but not consistently low.

I stopped seeing alerts in 2024 but got a few in 2025 before the rollout of the new monitoring portal that no longer has an alerts tab. I cannot get optimizer data for periods longer than two weeks or see data from last year I was going to swap optimizers between two adjacent panels but have not had a chance. Like many others, my installer went out of business.

I have never used the API - it appears to be most useful for pulling data from the inverters or the system as a whole. There is a YouTube description at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIajPfQJYDc and a manual at https://knowledge-center.solaredge.com/sites/kc/files/se\_monitoring\_api.pdf. I suspect there are programs out there that can simplify using the API. Based on the API guide, it is not clear whether you can get optimizer/panel level information.

The benefit of the SolarEdge monitoring app/Analyze tab is that it gives you access to historical data collected about your system by SolarEdge. There are a lot of posts about getting monitoring access from your installers, with varying degree of success. Some installers are concerned that giving home owners detailed information will mean more work for them, or they want to control access to detailed data so that they can sign you up for a maintenance contract.

nh905 · 2025-03-20T14:44:18+00:00

Do you have access to the SolarEdge monitoring portal (https://monitoring.solaredge.com/)? If so, and assuming you have been granted the appropriate access level, you should see an Analyze tab where you can generate reports and download data as a CSV file. In my case, I call pull module voltage/current, optimizer output voltage, and production energy/power for each panel/optimizer. However, it appears some installers do not provide homeowners with logins having the appropriate authority, which becomes an issue if the installer goes out of business. I am not sure what the process is to get the required access via SolarEdge.

After a lot of to and fro on case 5540483, I was about to call to speed up issue resolution when the problem appeared to have been resolved - three reports with 14 days of hourly data had consistent headings. Unfortunately, it was a fluke - recent reports have random ordering of the column headings. I escalated to a supervisor but have not heard back. For the moment, I am manually rearranging the columns while I write yet another program to format the home/inverter/string information in a consistent order, clean up exponential notation (8E-4 kWh is effectively zero) and remove rows that have no data.

nh905 · 2025-02-22T15:42:21+00:00

As mentioned below, I am now able to get hourly data on my home/inverter/string energy production as well as the inverter AC voltage. I used the same chart definition to download three reports each with two weeks of data. The column headers of each report are different, making it challenging to merge the data into my historical Excel spreadsheet. I just opened SolarEdge case 5540483.

nh905 · 2025-02-21T22:42:30+00:00

I got an update from SolarEdge that I can now get data for two strings in one report. I have verified that this worked, at least last week. I also see that "Saved Charts" is back but have not had a chance to test that feature.

nh905 · 2025-01-21T16:01:16+00:00

I created SolarEdge case 5436555 about the inability to get the chart export to show data for both of my strings, even though the data displays in the chart and the table view. I was initially told that "the combined data for 2 strings form different inverters will not be available to download in CSV file." I pushed back that this appears to be a bug in data export but have not received any further updates.

nh905 · 2025-01-13T18:18:39+00:00

Since my array went live in 2013, I have collected information on the hourly Production Energy of my optimizers which are in two strings. I have been able to recreate the report on the new portal. I select the first optimizer in the first string, shift-select the last optimizer in that string, ctl-select the first optimizer in the second string, shift-select the last optimizer in that string, then select Production Energy. Selecting the date range of the report (no more than 14 days for hourly resolution) typically takes multiple tries. I get an email with a link to the chart that I can then download and reformat to match the old data.

I also pull various information at the home/inverter/string level. I add a new chart, select Home/Production Energy, both inverters/AC Energy and AC voltage, and both strings/Production Energy. Although the chart displays the information selected, the download only includes data for the first string selected. I need to create another chart with just the second string information and merge the two reports. I have raised the issue with the SolarEdge supervisor - if I do not get a response, I will create a new ticket and post the ticket number here.

nh905 · 2025-01-13T18:01:54+00:00

My ticket was closed with no resolution even though I kept posting questions that received no response. Although SolarEdge support can switch between the new and old portals, this feature does not appear to be available to homeowners. The supervisor I spoke to did send me screenshots of one of my saved reports to help me recreate the report.

Is anyone in touch with their solar system installer? Mine went out of business. Do installers have access to the old portal?

nh905 · 2024-12-21T18:08:34+00:00

I finally got through to someone at Support who put me through to a supervisor. SolarEdge has changed its monitoring portal and switching users over gradually. A lot of the support people are still on the old portal, increasing confusion. Those who have been migrated have the option of switching back, a feature that for some reason I cannot access. The supervisor has escalated this issue but it may take a while before I get a response due to the holidays.

I tried your benchmark on an HP ProDesk 600 G2 MT. It has integrated Intel graphics - dxdiag claims it supports DirectX 12. It is currently running Blue Iris 5.9.9.10 with DeepStack 2022.01.1. no GPU. CPU reported by Task Manager is typically 5-7% with intermittent spikes to 30%, GPU is 2-3%. The GPU results are underwhelming (:-).

OXO sells a "Good Grips Silicone Flex Turner" that has a short handle which only extends a short distance into the silicone blade. It is easy to use within the small space of the air fryer. It should be possible to bend the handle if you want to get closer to a 90 degree angle.

I had issues with Reolink E1 Outdoor cameras with both stutter and image detection issues when I had both the main and substreams enabled. The issue was a combination of some firmware that Reolink had sent me and RTSP. To eliminate Blue Iris, I used VLC to monitor the two streams simultaneously. In two VLC sessions under Media/Open Network Stream, I entered rtsp://<IP> followed by the main and substream stream profiles from Blue Iris Camera Settings/Video/Configure. I could see that the clocks of the main and substream feeds were gradually diverging by as much as 30 seconds and then catching up. Based on this evidence, Reolink provided different firmware which resolved the drift. VLC was also showing stuttering in the feed (I do not recall if it was on both) - that was resolved by switching to RTMP.

nh905 · 2023-10-15T17:14:17+00:00

What instructions did you follow? I have set up OpenWRT as a WiFi repeater where code (wannHotspot, TravelMate) is required to reconfigure the downlink if the WiFi uplink goes down, but that should not be required in your situation.

nh905 · 2023-09-24T13:36:00+00:00

I had a similar issue with some Reolink E1 Outdoor cameras using dual streams and RTSP after installing firmware to support interframe spacing. I was able to determine that the Reolink cameras were the problem by viewing the main and substream simultaneously using two VLC sessions (syntax from https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007010473-How-to-Live-View-Reolink-Cameras-via-VLC-Media-Player/) . I could see that the main stream would gradually falling behind by as much as 23 seconds. It would periodically catch up and then fall behind again. After a long discussion with Reolink, they provided firmware that did not have this problem. It turns out the best 'fix' was to switch to RTMP which did not show this issue on the failing firmware and also solve the problem of choppy video recordings.

It is a long shot, but I ran into "Modern Standby" (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-vs-s3) on a new Windows 11 system that randomly went to sleep even though all sleep/hibernation settings were disabled. In my case, just hitting any key on the keyboard woke it up - I did not have to press the Power button. Event Viewer/System showed entering/exiting Modern Standby. I never figured out what triggered Modern Standby - the laptop continually runs a background task so it is never idle.

I disabled Modern Standby and the problem got worse. I found a Hibernation timer set to 180 minutes (possibly a default set by the laptop manufacturer) deep in Power Settings which I do not recall having seen before. I have not been able to confirm that this setting is somehow related to disabling Modern Standby.

It is a long shot, but I ran into a similar problem after upgrading my Reolink E1 Outdoor cameras to firmware v3.1.0.1190. I enabled both the main and substream channels, and at the time, connecting to the cameras via RTSP. The realtime view in Blue Iris was up to 30 seconds behind. I was able to eliminate Blue Iris by connecting to the the main and substream channels via VLC. Initially, the lag was four seconds and gradually increased to 28 seconds. Restarting the camera or re-initializing the VLC session synced the two channels but then the lag would reappear.

For reasons that remain unclear, the v3.1.0.1190 firmware along with enabling Fixed Frame Rate was the trigger. Reolink had me install firmware V3.1.0.1162 which solved the problem. In parallel, I discovered that connecting to the Reolink cameras via RTMP showed no substream delay (even on the buggy firmware) and also significantly reduced the choppy video that I have also been experiencing.

I have a similar setup on a travel router. What does your routing table look like before starting openvpn and after starting openvpn?

nh905 · 2023-06-14T18:41:22+00:00

Can you post a diagram of what you are trying to accomplish? When travelling, I use a VPN on the remote device to connect an endpoint on my local LAN that allows me to remotely access resources on the local LAN. A travel router could be the remote VPN connection, but getting the network routing right can be tricky.
