How to Monitor Voltronic Inverters and UPS via WiFi
Why Remote Monitoring Matters
Remote monitoring transforms your Voltronic power system from a passive device into an actively managed asset. Through a WiFi connection and cloud dashboard, you can track real-time performance, receive alerts for issues, analyze historical data, and optimize your system — all from your smartphone or computer, anywhere in the world.
Compatible Voltronic Products
- Axpert series (off-grid inverters) — all models with monitoring port
- InfiniSolar series (hybrid inverters) — all models
- Online UPS systems — models with SNMP/network card slot
- Line-interactive UPS — select models with USB/RS-232 monitoring
Setting Up WiFi Monitoring: Step by Step
Step 1: Install the WiFi Module
Insert the Voltronic WiFi dongle into the monitoring port on your inverter or UPS. The port is typically located on the bottom or side panel. The module should click securely into place and the LED should begin blinking.
Step 2: Download the Monitoring App
Download the monitoring app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Create an account using your email address.
Step 3: Connect WiFi Module to Your Network
- Open your phone's WiFi settings and connect to the WiFi module's access point (typically named "WiFi_XXXX")
- Open the app and follow the setup wizard
- Select your home WiFi network and enter the password
- The module will connect to your network and register with the cloud server
- The LED should change from blinking to solid, indicating successful connection
Step 4: Register Your Device
In the app, add your device using the serial number printed on the WiFi module or inverter. Once registered, data will begin appearing on your dashboard within minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common monitoring questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WiFi module work with 5 GHz networks?
Most Voltronic WiFi modules only support 2.4 GHz WiFi networks, not 5 GHz. Ensure your router has 2.4 GHz enabled (most routers broadcast both by default). If your router uses a single combined SSID for both bands, you may need to temporarily create a separate 2.4 GHz network for the initial setup.
Can I monitor multiple inverters from one app?
Yes, the monitoring app supports multiple devices under one account. This is useful for installations with parallel inverters, multiple sites, or if you manage systems for different customers. Each device is registered individually and appears as a separate entry on your dashboard.
How much data does the WiFi module use?
The WiFi module transmits very small amounts of data — typically 50-100 MB per month. It sends status updates every 5-15 seconds, each only a few bytes. This is negligible on any home internet plan and will not noticeably affect your bandwidth or data cap.
