Resetting Solarman Stick Logger
According to the official Solarman document "Stick Logger Quick Guide USER MANUAL for SOLARMAN", the proper way to reset the logger is:
- Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
- After 4 seconds, all lights will be extinguished.
- The READY light will start flashing fast (every 100ms).
When the official reset does not work
Sometimes the reset process above does not work. The trick that has worked reliably:
- Turn off the Wi-Fi device (router/AP) the logger is currently connected to.
- Wait for about 10 minutes.
- The logger will fall back into AP mode and the
AP_xxxxxxxxWi-Fi network will appear. - Connect to that
AP_xxxWi-Fi network. - Open a browser and go to
http://10.10.100.254to access the logger's gateway/configuration page.
Tips
- Once connected to the home network, assign the logger a static IP from the router's DHCP reservations. This makes integration with Home Assistant stable, since the integration relies on the logger's IP staying the same.
