Just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks for the info from this thread on getting the monitoring setup for this class of inverters. I have a Sol-Ark 12k (american cousin to the SunSynk/DEYE/etc) and was able to make the connection. I am embarrassed to say that the biggest issue which wasted a toon of time was trying to get my RPI 4 setup to recognize the USB-RS485 dongle to work so for now I have Node-Red running off an old laptop for now until I can get a different USB-RS485 adapter. So far the Node-Red Flows that @Bloubul7 provided of the box! Many thanks Bloubul7! The modbus registers appear to be identical. I am still early in the process of reviewing the data and getting it into Influx but will post an update on some of the hurdles I had to go through. Thanks!

@ManiLow very cool you are polling the data from the WiFi dongle. Can you provide some info on how you are doing that? Planning to use rs485 port but while I wait for my interface I thought about trying to setup a test node red to try and read in the data if it is already in a readable format. Thanks!

@Bloubul7 Thanks for the warm welcome and the details provided. I think this gives me enough to get started. Thanks again!

This is great! I have the cousin to this inverter, Sol-Ark 12k that is sold in the states. I'd love to do something similar. How are you polling the data, via WiFi dongle or connected via RS485 to USB or ???? I am familiar with Node-Red, Influxdb and Grafana on my battery side, capturing Batrium BMS data, but I would love to start capturing the inverter side. Sol-Ark info is tough to come by but I am hoping that since these inverters appear to be the same outside of the name that this should be possible. Thanks!
