Hello,
New to this forum. I was wondering if anyone has connected Solar Assistant (running on a Pi) specifically to the Sol-Ark 15k and what cables they used exactly. I visited the web site already and their support for the 15k is spotty. The pictures are slightly different than what actually exists on the 15k so if someone has done this already, please inform me which cables you used and where you connected it specifically.
On a reply from the web site, they said that for the 15k, if you'd like to both see and control the software from within Solar Assistant, you need to remove the Wifi dongle and use that RS232 connection. Otherwise, if you use the RS485 connection you will have read-only access. Can someone confirm this and tell me what else the wifi dongle is used for? I have a wired connection into the system so do I need the wifi dongle?
Thanks,
