Greetings, my first post here, great community!
I have just installed a Deye inverter and am also very keen to get some real-time data to control the house loads with.
I like baxtmi's approach here, makes sense to me to have a lightweight interface like the D1 to translate to a home assistant and then use and store data there as required. I am battling to get local stock of the 485 -> TTL Interface board, so I added a Elfin-EW11 module to an amazon order I have coming. This is a nice 485 to wifi serial server which I will try get talking in a similar way to baxtmi. I will report back once I have some hardware to plug in.
I assume no one has managed to use the solarman dongle to get data to home assistant? Even at 1 minute polling would be bearable.
Cheers
