Now that I'm finally in to it, I think it's great. I installed the 64bit version on my Pi4 8gb. I notice it runs a little hotter, so I'll have to update my cooling situation. I think it is more stable than my setup on V2. Restoring my SK server was a snap. Love that it also notifies me when there are updates available. And, of course, the NTP server means I didn't have to do it manually - amongst a bunch of other things I didn't have to do to get this going.
Only thing I have an issue with is an old RS485 USB cable on for my solar controller. I requires wonky drivers, that I suspect won't work in 64bit. So, I'm looking at an RS485 to ethernet adapter and will take that out of the loop all together. Then I can use a SK plugin to bring in the data and not have to fight with drivers.
All good! Stellar work!!!
