QuinLED-ESP32

Scrapes web API from CR1000 and uploads data via HTTPPost query to script on webserver each new data entry.

PUSR USR-DR404 DIN-Rail RS485 To WiFi/Ethernet Converter

CR1000 connects via ethernet to converter that creates network. ESP32 connects to the USR-DR404 and scrapes data from API.

Web Server

PHP script extracts data values from Arduino query and inserts them into MySQL 8 database.
