wifi modbus suggestions

[stuartmacnb]

my solark is about 60 feet away from my HA Pie in my office, have your tested any wifi enabled modbus units. I tired a waveshare rs483 to eth unit bridged to a old apple airport express eth port and was unable to get it to connect with the modbus test. I found out after on the website it says it wont support modbus.

Use an old router (with USB connector on it) running OpenWRT and connect it via Wifi to your network as a client.
Load and configure mbusd on it.
Mount this and the USB <-> RS-422 converter near your inverter.
In the HA integration use the IP address of the OpenWRT machine.

This is what I have done in my setup.

i picked up the waveshare rail mount converter off amazon but still cant get it to connect, https://www.waveshare.com/rs485-to-wifi-eth.htm

under server settings the 10.10 ip is locked, i think these are the right settings but i cant get it to ring back on modpoll with its 192 ip
