FoxESS Community - Owners & Installers Forum

Hi, first post on this excellent forum.

I’m trying to understand whether I can connect the 2 modbus wires directly to an Rj45 plug for my PC - is this possible?

No it’s possible to wire them directly, you will need a modbus to TCP converter which converts the RS485 to ethernet.

I’ve linked you to a page for a home assistant application that interfaces the inverter - you’ll see various adaptors in the wiki which have been used successfully https://github.com/nathanmarlor/foxess_modbus/wiki
