That’s mostly correct. However, you might find this link to our API documentation for monitoring helpful: https://eg4electronics.com/api-documentation/.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that the RS485 port and the Wi-Fi module share the same interface. As a result, using third-party apps through the RS485 port may lead to some loss of functionality.
Thanks Jared,
This is useful
From what I can tell, this api supports http get and post requests to https://api.eg4electronics.com/api
And the requests are authenticated (presumably with the same auth credentials that the EG4 cloud monitoring uses.
The server that hosts https://api.eg4electronics.com/api The EG4 server uses port 8000 through the reverse tunnel to get the inverters data via Modbus TCP commands. The original topic "system display pannel" asks how to do a local connection to an EG4 inverter. For a local connection, it appears that using Modbus TCP to get/set data is a requirement. This is only my "from what I can tell" interpretation. For a minute I was excited that I would be able to make requests to my EG4 18kpv via wifi (http get and post requests). George.
@george-redinger Regarding Chinese access to EG4 data, I do think we need clarity from EG4.
This topic probably deserves it's own thread.
