The TCP/IP method of communicating with inverters is supported by the Python library, but not by this implementation in this integration. -This integration provides a single sensor which reports the live power output -in watts. +This integration creates the inverter as a device with two sensors, reporting live power output in Watts and device temperature. -Note the PV inverter will be unresponsive to communications when in darkness, -so the value 'unknown' will be displayed during the night. -## Configuration +Note the PV inverter will be unresponsive to communications when in darkness, +so the sensors will report 'Unavailable' during the night. -Add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file: +The RS485 connection can be made using a low-cost USB-RS485 converter.

Normally it is sufficient to select the correct serial port and leave the default address `2`.
