ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi all,

I have a solar inverter that my phone can connect with via bluetooth. But the inverter doesn't have wifi functionality.

I am wondering, would it be possible to use a Wemos D1 mini pro to act like a 'brigdge' between my network and the solar inverter? I only wan to read some values and be able to display them in HTML and / or store them on SD.

I'd have to figure out the commands / codes between the app on my phone and the inverter. Could I 'eavesdrop' this communication with the Wemos?

Why a Wemos? No particular reason, I just happen to have some of them. I also have some ESP32-CAMs, so I could use those as well.

Any place I could check for this kind of bluetooth info?
I know arduino / ESP2866, but I'm completely new to bluetooth.


Thanks in advance!

there is no bluetooth on Wemos D1 mini pro ...

Oh, ok.
But that was not the core of my question.
I'll get a shield or use the ESP-32 CAM.

The question is if I can connect with my inverter and make a 'bridge' to my internet.

I thought the idea of Bluetooth is that any Bluetooth device can connect to any other Bluetooth device.

I would suggest that you would need to buy the parts and try.
