Pylon-Monitor Lite – WiFi Pylontech Monitoring, No Screen
Compatible with low-voltage Pylontech batteries fitted with an RS-232 Console port: US5000, US3000C, US3000, US2000C, US2000B+, UP2500 and the Force-L1 family. Up to 16 chained batteries, mixed models included, monitored individually from a single device plugged into the master battery — every cell included.
Since firmware 2.8 it also reads high-voltage Pylontech packs (Force H2 towers, H48050 / H48074 modules behind an SC0500 controller), detected automatically. The controller reports no state of health or cycle count, and this support has not yet been confirmed on a customer's high-voltage pack.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I add a screen later? No — the enclosure has no screen and no cutout for one. If there's any chance you'll want to read directly off the device, get the Pylon-Monitor V2 instead; the firmware and every other feature are identical.
- Does it work without internet? Yes, the device is 100% local on your WiFi network.
- Does it void my Pylontech warranty? No, the Console port is read-only and never changes battery behaviour.
- Compatible with multiple chained batteries? Yes, up to 16 batteries (every cell included) from a single device.
- Do I need an app or account? No, the dashboard works from any browser on your local network.
The Pylon-Monitor Lite runs the exact same firmware as the Pylon-Monitor V2: State of Charge, voltage, current, cell health (SOH) and temperatures from your Pylontech battery, read in real time straight from the Console (RJ45) port. Only the physical screen is missing — all the data is instead available on a web dashboard, opened over WiFi from your phone, tablet or PC at http://pylon-monitor.local, plus a full JSON API.
Same plug & play install as the V2: under 2 minutes from unboxing to a live dashboard, no app, no account, no cloud. Designed, assembled and tested in small batches by our partner pylon-monitor.com.
Recommended uses
Ideal for remote monitoring and diagnostics of a Pylontech battery installed in a basement, garage or plant room — check state of charge, voltage, cells and temperatures over WiFi from your phone or PC, no on-device screen to walk up to. A local, subscription-free, lower-cost alternative to the screen model for solar installers and off-grid enthusiasts who check their battery from a phone or PC anyway.
