WiFI Stick LSW-5 #533

Hi everyone. I tried adding my afore af6k-sl inverter without success. unfortunately the inverter has an LSW-5 wifi stick with serial code 35xxx, no one was able to add it to the home assistant. Is it possible to replace the key with an LSW-3? Can the inverter communicate with a different stick? Thank you

It may be complicated. LSW-5 has USB, and LSW-3 has a "DB9" interface. You can check the difference between sticks here: https://www.solarmanpv.com/products/data-logger/stick-logger/

You may check if your inverter has a DB9 interface. If yes, it may work with LSW-3. In the inverter's manual, there may be info on what stick loggers are supported.
