Limiter in app "Offline"

[N3llyDeg]

Hey,
the app tells me "Limiter: Offline".

I use the sensor value from HA and from the logs the value is read correctly.

I have tried with and without resistor... any suggestions are appreciated!

Model: 1000W/PV: 26-45V/Battery: 24V

More information would be appreciated. Logs and config..

This is the hardware configuration I use:

You missed to setup the flow control pin properly.
