To build your own AhoyDTU, you only need a few things. Remember that the maker community is always developing new and innovative options that we may not have covered in this readme.
Start with an ESP8266 or ESP32, and combine it with an NRF24L01+ breakout board. Other ESP boards with at least 4MBytes of ROM may also be suitable.
Start with an ESP32 or ESP8266 (not recommended), and combine it with an NRF24L01+ breakout board for HM-series inverters. To communicate with a HMS or HMT inverter you need to use a CMT2300A radio module.
Other ESP boards with at least 4MBytes of ROM may also be suitable.
Make sure to choose an NRF24L01+ module that includes the '+' in its name. This is important because we need the 250kbps features that are only available in the plus-variant.
Note for NRF24 radio module: Make sure to choose an NRF24L01+ module that includes the '+' in its name. This is important because we need the 250kbps features that are only available in the plus-variant.
**Attention**: The NRF24L01+ can only communicate with the MI/HM/TSUN inverter. For the HMS/HMT it is needed to use a CMT2300A!
