Please make sure to power the RS485 module with 3.3V because it affects the TTL (transistor-transistor logic) voltage between RS485 module and ESP.

You can install this component with ESPHome external components feature like this:
external_components:
- source: github://syssi/esphome-solax-x1-mini@mainor just use the esp32-example.yaml / esp8266-example.yaml as proof of concept:
# Install esphome
pip3 install esphome
# Clone this external component
git clone https://github.com/syssi/esphome-solax-x1-mini.git
cd esphome-solax-x1-mini
# Create a secrets.yaml containing some setup specific secrets
cat > secrets.yaml <<EOF
wifi_ssid: MY_WIFI_SSID
wifi_password: MY_WIFI_PASSWORD
mqtt_host: MY_MQTT_HOST
mqtt_username: MY_MQTT_USERNAME
mqtt_password: MY_MQTT_PASSWORD
EOF
# Validate the configuration, create a binary, upload it, and start logs
# If you use a esp8266 run the esp8266-examle.yaml
esphome run esp32-example.yaml
For a more advanced setup take a look at the esp32-example-advanced-multiple-uarts.yaml.
All known firmware versions (V1.00) responds with the same serial number (3132333435363737363534333231) to the discovery
broadcast (AA.55.01.00.00.00.10.00.00.01.10). For this reason it's challenging to use multiple devices on the same bus and
assign an individual address per device.
Affected firmware versions:
- 618.00207.00_X1_BOOST3.0_MINI2.0_AIR2.0_ARM_V1.32_20210625.usb, 618.00381.00_X1_BOOST3.0_MINI2.0_AIR2.0_DSP_V2.12_20210622.usb
Workaround: Use one UART per device to handle multiple devices.
If this component doesn't work out of the box for your device please update your configuration to enable the debug output of the UART component and increase the log level to the see outgoing and incoming serial traffic:
logger:
level: VERY_VERBOSE
logs:
scheduler: DEBUG
