Review on πŸ”Œ JBtek USB to RS485 Converter Adapter: High-Quality ch340T Chip, 64-bit Windows 7 Compatibility by Joel Gardner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well, not as long as I hoped

Great price; Plug and play detection in Windows 10, Ubuntu and Unraid; durable construction. This has been used and worked well for my PC to be connected to a Pentair Easytouch pool system (connected to the pool data interface via 2 long CAT5 line wires and controlled with nodejs-poolController on Github). Let me avoid using the overly expensive and inferior network interfaces that Pentair and other pool companies make to connect to pool controllers. The only downside is that my first one made it just 8 months before it died. Hooked up to a temperature controlled server closet at my house so it must have been a bad batch. For the price I don't mind a replacement and will update my review in case the second key I just bought dies prematurely.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Poor instructions
