@nowayto Yes, you can add your own dimensions in the ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css.

I have noticed an error in the module css. I have corrected it. Please do a git pull before attempting the below changes.

You could set it as follows:

.growatt-table {
    font-weight: bold;
	color: orangered;
    font-size: 0.5rem;
}

Update v2.1.3 - Released

• Added animation to the lines to show a visual effect of charging or discharging. Have been wanting to do this for a while and only had the chance to implement this.

The above change is on my dev branch being tested by myself. I welcome others to checkout the dev branch and assist with testing. Everything looks good thus far. If no issues raised against the dev branch then I will release to main over the weekend.

Couple of examples below showcasing the changes.

Update v2.1.4 - Released!

The module display has been too rigid and only worked in the middle_center position.

I have made a number of changes to the css which now allows the module to be displayed in any of the other regions.

The updates are currently on my dev branch for anybody who would like to test. I will release to main by the end of the weekend.

v2.2.0 Upgrade

I have decided to refactor the code to make it a little easier to manage

• Update growatt library to latest
• Added helper functions
• Add a connection retry in cases where connection to the Growatt server is down or interrupted
• Add better error handling

Current users do NOT have to update to the latest version unless you want to be on the latest version.

If you do decide to upgrade and experience any issues, please open an issue on the MMM-Growatt Github page.

The same updates were applied to the MMM-Growatt-Stats module. If you update and experience any issues please open a ticket at the MMM-Growatt-Stats Github page.

@mumblebaj
My module is working right now and I read you suggest to not upgrade it if it’s working but I’m interested about the “connection retry” function because sometimes (very rare) it stay still on a previous lecture.
Like half an hour ago or more

@nowayto Hi. That sounds more like something else. Have you checked the logs to see if you see any errors during the time when there is no update? Let me know if you see anything.

The retry will try 3 times, first after 1000 milliseconds and and then at 2000 milliseconds and the last time at 3000 milliseconds and will return a warning. The next time it will try is at the refresh interval which is whatever value you have set.

You can update if you want to check this out. You can let me know if you experience any issues.

I am thinking about making the retry interval configurable but not sure if it is warranted at the moment.
