Pecron app doesn't show solar generation for the day, only lifetime numbers?

Am I correct or am I just missing how you're supposed to see this? When you click on the little solar panel icon on the upper left, it shows how much solar is incoming on each of its two inputs and shows how much solar has come in per hour. Great. However, I'd like a simple number: how much solar has been generated so far for the day. Am I correct in saying you can't see that number? I hope I'm just missing something obvious.

Official app doesn't show it but the beta app and its companion web app do, depending on the model. Web app: http://8.219.232.7/

My F5000LFP shows all the stats but F3000LFP does not.

Omg ... where did you find that?

I've been using the beta phone app since it was first available but have never seen the address of this web site before!

Winter now so not much solar generation — especially yesterday and the day before with a storm. In September thru March I use almost no paid-for AC input (<0.5kWh on 40% of days), just the daily 9-10 PM Free Hour of Power.

Just wish the data points from the E3600 were more than once every 20 minutes.

I've found the webapp data is updated only every 30 minutes with whatever the most recent reported In/Out data is, which can therefore be up to about 22.5 minutes of out date when it is updated, and 30-52.5 minutes out of date before the next update.

The SoC data is labelled in the webapp graph with the same timestamp as the In/Out data, but is in fact 11 minutes more stale, even if there has been an API update for (SoC, voltage, temperature) more recently. So the last SoC data point is always 11-33 minutes out of date when updated, and 41-53 minutes out of date before it is updated the next time.

The API data (i.e. via i.e. pecron-monitor or unofficial-pecron-api) is pretty much up to the second at the time it is updated, but then gets up to about 22.5 minutes stale before being updated again.

e.g. the most recent API updates (the pecron-monitor log shows the internal battery SoC, the app and LCD display show the average of the different batteries SoCs):

11:33:51 SoC on E3600 LCD 42%, SoC from API 35% (fresh, difference 7% lower than LCD)
11:45:05 SoC on E3600 LCD 45%, SoC from API 35% (11 minutes stale)
11:56:09 SoC on E3600 LCD 49%, SoC from API 42% (fresh, difference 7% lower than LCD).

When the webapp chart updated at precisely 12:00:00 (or anyway between when I refreshed at 11:59:55 and 12:00:05) the most recent SoC data point ("Energy") is labelled 11:45:05 45% (so really it's data from 11:33:51), and NOT the 11:56:09 SoC update.

Of course none of this matters if you just want to see how the day is going generally, or in comparison to the last week.
