Instructions

1. Download and install the latest release or beta version of the cFos Charging Manager.
2. Make sure that your inverter or meter is accessible in the home network and that you know the IP address and port. For Modbus TCP, you also need the slave ID.
3. Open the cFos Charging Manager website in the browser by entering e.g. localhost:4712. Then open the "System Configuration" page and activate Meter Test. Enter e.g. SunSpec or SMA Inverter as the device type. As Address and ID, enter the address with which you can reach your inverter or meter. Some devices require additional parameters, which you should also set if necessary.

We would be very interested to know what output the cFos Charging Manager provides.

By the way: Many additional devices, such as solar energy managers or storage units also work with the SunSpec, so they may also run with the cFos Charging Manager. You are also welcome to send us the output from such devices.

Instead of "SunSpec Solar Inverter", you can also try the following unit types, for example:

• E3/DC Solar Device (Simple Mode)
• SMA Inverter
• SMA Home Manager
• Solar Log
• Powerfox
• Shelly 3EM
• Sonnen... (various)

Then you can see if the cFos Charging Manager is compatible with your inverter.

Thank you for trying!
You are helping us and other owners of solar systems and energy storage devices.

Successfully tested inverters / meters

Note: The EVSEs or meters have been tested with the software version of the respective manufacturer specified in the tables. We do not guarantee that the manufacturer will change the functionality through a software update or model update in such a way that the interoperability with the cFos Charging Manager or cFos Power Brain Wallbox is no longer given. You can ask the respective manufacturer whether the functionality still corresponds to the status indicated in our table.

Alternatively, you can download the free test version of the cFos Charging Manager for Windows or Raspberry Pi and test for yourself whether the respective device is compatible.

You can integrate these with the latest version of the cFos Charging Manager as a producer meter without an extra intermediate meter.

Note: If it is not possible to read your solar system, you can always have an external intermediate meter installed by an electrician, which either measures the generation of the solar system ("Generation" role) or a bi-directional intermediate meter at the transfer point of the energy supplier, with which you then measure the grid supply or feed-in ("Grid supply" role). You can also contact us and together we can try to integrate your solar system. We have already installed support for many a device with the help of our users, #diebestenuserderwelt:-)

Here are instructions on how to integrate various devices into the cFos Charging Manager.

Thank you for testing EVSEs and meters to:
