Configuration Guide not working anymore after ShinePhone app Update

[hyperlink-skylight]

There was an update of the ShinePhone app recently. Now it is not possible anymore to configure the device in order to set a custom domain or port.

Here is how it looked like before the update: CONFIGURATION.md

Here is how it looks now:

Seems like they removed the whole "configure" button

---

I was able to set a custom domain and port on: https://openapi.growatt.com

Go to: Dashboard --> Photovoltaic --> Data Logger --> Datalogger Setting

The CONFIGURATION.md needs to be adjusted accordingly

Thank you, for figuring this out. I’ll update our configuration guide accordingly 😊

@hyperlink-skylight Hi, could you give some more details how you did it? I enter the FQDN in the field for "Set Domain" and the port under "Port", enter the password "growattYYYYMMDD" (e.g. growatt20260804). This is confirmed by a green "Successful" in the left lower corner. But the device does not connect to my MQTT server.
Any advice is highly appreciated! Thanks!

Select domain, set the new value and save.

Then select port, set the new value and save.

Wow, it took at least 10 tries until it was successfully applied and connected my MQTT server. Thanks for your help.

I updated the configuration guide and added new screenshots.

@hyperlink-skylight As far as I know you were only able to set domain and port when you set up your device the first time via Bluetooth (when you would also configure wifi, as an advanced option).

Are you sure they removed this option? I was never able to change the domain or port after the device was set up in the app and connected to wifi.

Hmm maybe you are right.
To be honest I cant remember how I set it up in the first place.
My device lost the connection somehow. After a few weeks I wanted to reconnect it and recognized the missing configure button in the app.

For those who search for the steps to configure everything in the app: https://github.com/robertzaage/GroBro/blob/6917300c2b81e71c7a45a3d3ffeca192498bcc0f/CONFIGURATION.md

The old procedure is still functional. I‘ll update the guide with fresh screenshots from the app later.
