FAQ

1. Deye Microinverter not displayed in device list

The device with a inverter firmware version smaller than V0.2.4.0 doesn't support the local mode. If your device's firmware does not meet this requirement, it will not be displayed in the device list.

2. Failed to enable local mode

Ensure the device is working normally.

Confirm all related devices (DTU, target device, mobile phone) are in the same WiFi network.

3. After enabling the local mode of the device, the device card appears grayed-out when pulling down to refresh the page.
