I'm struggling to find compatibility and wiring for connecting an A series Ev charger to a KH10 inverter.
The inverter currently has a ct clamp in the fuse box and isn't wired to a smart meter.
Can the A series chargers be directly connected to the inverter? Or does it need to connect to a smart meter?
Does ethernet need to be run to the charger, or does the inverter talk to it through the RS485 comms? Which are through the smart meter??
Some help on this would be great! Trying to avoid setting up Modbus and HA if I can ...

RS485 between the charger and inverter I believe.

Hi Will, thanks. Do you have any info to verify this?
I've now found the install manual, and it seems to indicate that the R485 has to go to a smart meter. I've attached this install guide.
I'm concerned that if the charger and inverter are only talking to each other via the internet and cloud, that the comms will be quite slow. I'm really interested in getting PV linkage working.
