I have a noob question regarding the connection to the Kostal Inverter:
On my Piko device, I have both Ethernet and RS485 (RJ45 both) connections.
To retrieve the data using the script, do I have to connect to RS485 or ethernet..?
I have a rapberry Pi 3. If RS485 is needed, I guess I need to connect to my Pi using a RS485 card, right?
Many thanks for your help and again sorry for this basic question

I connected the PIKO via an Ethernet cable.
Don't excuse yourself for asking a question. Only by asking an question you can learn.
You're right, I forgot to reply to the message.
Thanks for your answer. I think the problem is that my inverter is a piko 3.0 MP and the webinterface is different than for the other versions (piko MP 5.5 for instance)
I'm not an expert but it's like a "picture" (frame?) of the screen of the inverter instead of a simple table of values.
So I guess it's not possible to retrieve data from my inverter...?
Thanks
