Fortress Envy Wi-Fi Dongle Puts Your System on Your Phone
The Fortress Power Envy Wi-Fi Dongle plugs into the dongle port on an Envy inverter and connects it to your home Wi-Fi. Once connected, you can monitor the inverter remotely on a phone or computer through the Fortress Power app, and the dongle is also used for inverter firmware updates. It is the same style of dongle Fortress ships with its Envy-family inverters, handy as a replacement or spare.
