Hi,

Has anyone considered repurposing the USB datalogger for other projects?

I have found that it has an Espressif-ESP-WROOM-02U and am going to investigate if it can be reprogrammed as I have another project that I require that ESP for.

Kind Regards,

I have now requested the latest firmware for my BMS and batteries.

Lets see what happens next.

Master - 1.64

Hi Will,

FOX-ESS UK have sent me the latest firmware for my inverter, all I have to do now is find an USB stick and see if it works.

Wish me luck.

I have been sent the latest firmware for my H1-5.0-E so all I have to do is get an USB stick and see if the upgrade works.

Wish me luck.

I went through all the settings on the inverter and checked the wiring. I re-ran Modpoll but still it didn't work and then suddenly just before I was going to give up it worked. Great News!

My system is not connected to the internet and never will be.


Kind Regards,

I was hoping to be able to do an off-line firmware upgrade but that doesn't look possible as FOX-ESS don't allow that.

Hi Dave, I'm using a Waveshare USB to RS485(B) as listed on Nathanmalor GIThub site. I'll keep trying as I'm sure there's a setting I need to change that I've missed. Once I get it working I plan to connect it to HA. I even might create my own monitor as I have various micro controllers lying around...

Thanks Dave,

I am using MODBUS RTU connecting to pins 3 & 4 as my inverter does not have an ethernet port but does have the ability to set DHCP or IP address.

I have tried different programs including modpoll.exe

modpoll -m rtu -a 247 -t 3 -c3 -r 11000 -b 9600 -p none COM5

Hi, I have a hybrid H1-5-E with 15 405W solar panels, 2 MIRA-HV25 battery packs and a MIRA-BMS. I am trying to connect up the MODBUS on the Meter/CT/RS485 connector. I have checked the Device ID. When I send a MODBUS request the response is a single byte. I have tried different settings but to no av...
