Hello.
I have mounted a Chinese HMI display next to the inverter, which has two RS485 ports. I set the first port as master and I download data from the photovoltaic inverter via this route. The HMI displays these downloaded parameters. I set the second port on the HMI as a slave. This port is connected to an ESP32 with WiFi activated. The Home Assistant connects over WiFi to this ESP32 and downloads the inverter parameters available to the HMI. I would also like to display some relevant parameters from the heat pump and other devices in the house on this same HMI. The pump sends its parameters to the HA via a second ESP32, also running WiFi. Currently I already have several of these ESP32s and more will be coming. This is where I have a problem. I cannot in any way send the value of any entity from the HA to this ESP32, which is connected with the HMI. How do I bite into this? How do I send the value of any entity from the HA to the ESP32? I send from ESP32 as master to slave HMI seamlessly, but not from HA to ESP32. It looks like this, as if the entity in the HMI is a global value.
