Technical Recommendation:

Access the hidden diagnostic menu within the EcoFlow app by rapidly tapping the serial number field 10 times. This may reveal more detailed system status information and error logs which can be helpful for troubleshooting or sharing with EcoFlow support.

Common Causes:

Inconsistent Wi-Fi signal strength impacting communication between the Gateway and cloud server.
Firmware incompatibility between the Gateway and battery modules.
Corrupted configuration files within the Energy Management System (EMS).
App synchronization issues preventing accurate data display and control.
Network connectivity problems affecting Modbus communication.
Intermittent cloud service outages disrupting real-time monitoring and control.

Important Warnings:

Improper network configuration can compromise system security and data privacy. Always use strong, unique passwords for your EcoFlow account and Wi-Fi network. Ensure that the EcoFlow app and Gateway firmware are up-to-date to patch any security vulnerabilities. Never share your login credentials with unauthorized individuals. If you suspect a security breach, immediately change your password and contact EcoFlow support.

How It Works:

Error 360 typically relates to the communication between the EcoFlow PowerOcean Gateway and the battery modules or the smart home panel. The Gateway uses Modbus/CAN bus protocols to monitor battery SOC, SOH, and control the backup switch. Cloud connectivity allows for remote monitoring, firmware updates, and data logging. Failure to establish a stable network connection or corrupted firmware can trigger this error. Incorrect app configuration or outdated app versions can also contribute to communication errors. The error may stem from issues within the Energy Management System (EMS), specifically affecting its ability to interpret and act upon data from the battery system.

Step-by-Step Fix:

1

Verify Wi-Fi signal strength near the EcoFlow PowerOcean Gateway. Ensure a stable and strong connection.
2

Check for available firmware updates for both the Gateway and battery modules via the EcoFlow app. Apply updates as needed, following on-screen instructions.
3

Clear the EcoFlow app cache and data, then restart the app. Log in again with your credentials.
4

Force a system reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the DC disconnect switch (follow proper safety procedures; rapid shutdown compliance is critical). Allow the system to fully reboot.
5

Review the Gateway's network configuration within the app. Ensure the correct Wi-Fi network is selected and the password is correct.
6

Check the EcoFlow cloud service status page for any reported outages or maintenance.
7

Contact EcoFlow support for assistance if the error persists after completing the above steps, providing the serial numbers of the Gateway and battery modules.

Observed Symptoms:

System reports Error 360, indicating a failure in the backup switch mechanism. The system may not provide backup power during a grid outage. Monitoring app displays a communication error with the energy management system. Battery SOC remains static or displays incorrect values.

Preventative Care:

Regularly check for and install firmware updates for the Gateway and battery modules.
Monitor the Wi-Fi signal strength near the Gateway and consider using a Wi-Fi extender if necessary.
Periodically review the system's performance data in the EcoFlow app, including SOC, SOH, and event logs.
Ensure the EcoFlow app is always up-to-date.
Schedule a monthly system health check via the app.
