Hi, i have the same inverter, unfortunately the station monitor software does not work with any upower Hi series inverter.. The usb to serial cable that they supply is only for updating the firmware on the inverter.. There is a way to get info from the inverter to the android app 'epever pair' though, you just have to make a lead up yourself and buy a ebox-wifi-01.
Hello thanks for your reply.
Yep no probs, ill post up a step by step guide in a little while and link to it here.. It took a while to get it all sorted as im new to HA etc, but with thanks to someone on HA forum that had already figured it, i was able to do it. But its still not obvious and someone needs to make a how to thread, so thatll be me then lol!

Done. Here it is:Thanks man!! I'm waiting for it

That must be the one they have been saying about for months now, shame it looks like cloud only? - so no good if their servers go down in the future?There is a new wifi module in the marked now. I asked the support about it, it is in stock, but it's taken back for an upgrade.. so soon the new version are ready.. its wifi, - redy for cloud. The name i wifi module rf45 D

Epever products are very good for its price but with the software is like we live back to 1992 Thanks for your guide I'll set this up once I end with the wiring of my system.
You only need the RPI for home assistant.. You can just get the adapter, wire it up and use the app, that tells you all the inverter settings.so i must to buy Raspberry Pi and the adapter to make this work. hmm.. at least i have ebox wifi 01 and the inverter
HA gives you all the information that you need from the system right?
Cable is just for updating the inverter firmware. I wouldnt bother though unless you found a bug or something.yes yes I understand. I will buy the adapter first to make things just work. RPI it's a must have as I understand not only for the epever units but I will dive in this world later once I finish my setup and have a clear mind. I still don't understand why epever hi series comes with the usb cable? Rly I thought that is a broken cable or I receive a broken unit.
I have one running 14.4kw eve cells (2 x 24v banks in parallel). Equalize is for lead acid, and you set the Equalize voltage to the same as the boost voltage, and the equalize time to the same as boost time.. Its all a bit confusing all the settings, i can post a copy of all mine to help you if you want, im at work atm though...
thanks for the quick reply.. I have a rough idea of how to set up the parameters (i extracted values from varies topics and articles).
Pretty sure i can set mine, so maybe yours has updated firmware that stops you from changing it, but its locked to the same voltage as the boost voltage anyway according to the new manual.. (but no, dont set to a low voltage if it can be changed, set to same as boost voltage.). I use 'user' type battery in the settings, maybe change to that if your not already.. So then set the equalize time to the same as the boost time.. You cant connect the inverter to your pc, not using the station monitor software anyway (have a read further up in this thread..)..

ok so it means that the equalising should happen when the boost voltage has been already reached and no current will actually go through?
Sorry, im telling you wrong, set it to the float voltage, not boost voltage... Been a while since i set mine up. I got the info from this video if i remember correctly:
