All I want for Christmas is a new Anker App for my F2000 / everfrost.
What's on Your SOLIX Wish List?
Yes! Sell me a solix coordinator/bridge - anything! To get the 767/F2000 online. The software side is just brutal right now when compared to other solar stations.
Most certainly the long awaited for Solix powerbank2 upgrade from 800 to 1000W main output for users living in France. Every Youtuber in the country confirmed that Anker acknowleged this uprgrade would happen. Athough I now own an Anker Solix2 system because it was in stock and quickly available, I rather chose to advise friends to order a Zendure2000 system mainly for its ablilty to output 1200W
just got a c1000.
I would like to see
- The app for controlling it available on wi-fi (not bluetooth).
reason: there are people who dont or try not to use mobile phones (for reasons of security/privacy). - If you have to use a mobile/bluetooth: there should be a link on the anker website for the app, you should not HAVE TO use google play store. (once again for privacy/security reasons).
Time of use charging for the standalone F3800 and availability of the Smart Home Panel for Canadian customers!
It would really help selling any kind of Anker Solix products if they would provide an official Api for seamless integration into smart home power automation.
Many users have different products already and they need to interact in some customizable way to cover various use cases any user may have. There are various smart home platforms that can do the orchestration and automation as long as they get an interface to monitor and control the power devices.
For me this capability is a buying decision factor.
On my wish list: a firmware configuration option, configurable from the app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, stored in the device’s EEPROM/flash memory, which is basically a checkbox: “AC outputs always on (when available)”.
This feature could be off by default. But when turned on, the AC outputs would be on whenever there is sufficient charge to do so. Without requiring a physical button press!
This would make it so that the devices would be truly useful as an unattended UPS battery backup. For example, I’d like to use a C1000 in my basement as a battery backup for my sump pump. Right now I can’t because if I go away for a week, if there’s a power outage and the battery depletes, it won’t turn the AC outputs back on when power returns. But with my proposed feature enabled, it’d be perfect!
Thanks so much!
Support to read / control with home assistant.
The idea is to charge it when sun shines, so own energy will be used.
Whats needed:
Control charge without interrupt power (use it as ups / accu power)
When battery is back to 20 % switch power as passtrue, wait charging till there is enough sun from solarpanels on the roof. (Not the small portable ik one)
Example: The idea here is to run the nas system and camera recording as much as possible independent from the grit.
I am sure there many other possibilities to make more advantage of the anker c1000 other then only backup or emergency power.
Yes I am aware thats this is not a powergrid converter, the output is not connect to the grid. Just a few devices run direct connected to the box.
Just some idea.

Experience report and development potential
Setup: Solarbank E1600 PLUS with smart meter…
Control only via the smartphone app?
I would like platform-independent access. Also from the PC.
Is a web-based solution possible?
In the Anker app:
The total yield (revenue, generation) is the gross of the solar input. But not the net of the home grid feed-in. Why does Anker calculate the yield without the self-consumption of the solar bank?
How can the data be exported (excel/ csv)? E.g. to my own cloud or router?
Where is the data stored? Does Anker or third parties have access to my data?
Control of the charge/discharge:
When the power at the solar input is low and the battery level is low, the controller oscillates and prioritizes only charging the storage tank or discharging it. This leads to high storage losses.
Here it would be more economical to feed the entire solar yield into the home grid and not the battery. Even if this means drawing additional power from the grid. Shouldn’t the priority be to store surpluses?
