Works with Waveshare rs485 ip converter #9

Hi. I use waveshare rs485 to eth ip adapters for my inverter control. Can this work with one of them for my bms? I run ha on a remote pi. If not can this run on pi local to seplos with USB rs485 adapter and send data to my ha pi?

Thanks!

This script send the data in MQTT, but i think any device configured in linux like /dev/xxxxxx can send it to MQTT server. it doesn't matter if connected via USB or a configured device ip

Please provide your /dev/name of your RS485 remote ip adapter.

Hi.

My RS485 adapter is this: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RS485_TO_ETH_(B)

It has various configuration options. I wonder if i can use this in some way to communicate back to my HA instance so i have the stats of my seplos BMS as you do?

Many Thanks Mike

I think your adapter will have drivers to install on the remote system that will configure a device, try to rely on that device by running the script to read the data.
