like this?

It's cheaper but you have to care about a stable power supply and it's more complicated to flash the ESP + apply a proper boot configuration. The ESP is compatible in general.

@syssi okay cool. i will try to purchase both and see if https://robu.in/product/d1-mini-v2-nodemcu-4m-bytes-lua-wifi-internet-of-things-development-board-based-esp8266/ works any better. it also has in built power so yeah.

one question i have.
this is the configuration that seems to be working for me. https://solaranzeige.de/phpBB3/download/Phocos%20Any-Grid.json

you think this would work?

syssi commented 10 months ago

I don't know. I cannot find any details about the used protocol in the Phocos Any-Grid.json. Do I miss something?

shamirahim111 commented 10 months ago

@syssi hey. what about config from this repo? https://github.com/wolffshots/phocus

shamirahim111 commented 10 months ago

@syssi i have bought one esp8266 nodemcu v3, will test it out

shamirahim111 commented 10 months ago

@syssi what about this specific line https://github.com/DeBaschdi/solar_config/blob/f329f2a034c52264c6883e0be857b70dde9807a5/www/html/multi_usb_init.php#L345
