Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Delivered targeted Sofar G3 meter configuration documentation updates to reduce setup errors and support reliable integrations with LSE-3 logger sticks via LAN and ModBus TCP (port 8899). The update explicitly states LSW-3 WiFi is not supported and RS485 serial connections require inverter-side termination. Implemented in commit 5c61d10ed7d1a0012e4b71be5c1efdb1cd77762e (#17324). This improvement enhances onboarding, reduces support workload, and strengthens the hardware integration narrative for evcc (evcc-io/evcc).
