Review: A critical component of the project and it worked as expected. - So far so good. This worked perfectly to integrate my pool automation panel with a raspberry pi using the AqualinkD project. Now my pool automation does not have an Internet access dependency like it did with iAqualink.
Review: Reliable FTDI RS485 to USB Cable — Perfect for Raspberry Pi Projects - I used this FTDI RS485 to USB serial cable to decipher RS485 signals from my Jandy Aqualink pool controller and feed them into a Raspberry Pi Zero W 2. It worked exactly as expected and made it easy to automate controls based on the data. This setup has been running for over a year now, exposed to harsh outdoor conditions, and the cable hasn’t missed a beat. Stable connection, no driver headaches, and rock-solid reliability. If you’re doing any RS485 decoding or automation work, this is a solid choice.
