funny that i have been trying to get my solar inverter data into homeassistant and i have already burned through 3 Raspberry pi 3b+ for some reason. i do not know is it because of a bad rs-232 to usb cable or because i am using a mobile charger to run the pi itself. i have a 2b but the wifi signal isnt great on the usb dongle so for the time being nothing is working. i do not want to use a full desktop/laptop because of power considerations
People should really stop using SD cards for anything halfway important with Pi's. They are proven again and again to be just ticking time bombs. With new Pi being able to boot from USB just fine, get an SSD even if it costs more.
