eBox-WiFi-01 RS485 to WiFi Adapter, Part 3
Let's try to connect this RS485 to WiFi adapter for the Epever Solar Station Monitor program on the PC.
This is a small serial port server that plugs into the RS485 comm port on the EPSolar charge controllers and provides the serial data via a WiFi (or BluetTooth with the BLE version) connection:

And for newer devices, from the comment by @Gabriel Alonso Paniagua Castro:
For all of you who have been like me, trying to setup the new version of this device to STA, it's possible, even with some security! Connect to the device, go to Mode Setting, right click on the button and edit the drop-down to pass in value "STA" instead of "AP" and it will be accepted..
Use Chrome browser
Right-click on the Mode button
Choose "Inspect element", change from
[option value="AP"]
to
[option value="STA"]
and then hit the button (note the YouTube doesn't allow angle brackets in the video description, so I used [ and ] instead of angle brackets).
Then create an additional WiFi network on your router (or use an additional AP), for SSID use: LSD and for password use: 12345678 and for Encryption choose WPA2-AES, and voila! It will connect to this WiFi network and shows on your WiFi router client list!
If you want, you can use your router MAC whitelist to allow only this device MAC address to that SSID.
For the code to edit on the webpage of the device, see Gabriel Alonso Paniagua Castro's pinned comment below (YouTube won't allow the formatted code in the video description.

And as always, thanks for watching
