## Configuration The RS485 connection can be made using a low-cost USB-RS485 converter. It works using a 2-wire interface but an interface with a separate ground reference may be more reliable.
Add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file: {% include integrations/config_flow.md %}
```yaml The inverter will need to be on (i.e. in daylight) and connected correctly in order to do the first-time setup. Normally it is sufficient to select the correct serial port and leave the default address `2`.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: aurora_abb_powerone
device: "SERIAL_PORT"
```
{% configuration %}
device:

required: true

address:
