I gave up on the WIFI stick and manage to get the Esphome modbus to work.
I’ve made integration through Solarman addon (HACS) for my hybrid AF5K-SL. I’ve added Afore registers from XLS file on this topic. So far my improvements have not been accepted in the main repository of the Solarman addon: Add afore hybrid 1ph inverter by ozzzi · Pull Request #592 · StephanJoubert/home_assistant_solarman · GitHub.
But you can make afore inverter definition manually.
Also I’ve adopted Sunksynk-flow-power-card for my Afore inverter: GitHub - ozzzi/afore-power-flow-card
Salve ragazzi, scrivo in italiano perchè mi viene più semplice.
Sl sito da voi elencato non mi fa loggare con il numero del mio inverter.
Il mio inverter è un modello recente da 5kw. Senza batterie.
Come faccio ad integrarlo in home assistant?
Grazie a ci mi aiuterà.
Non ho molta eserienza
Hello everyone.
I got in touch with Afore HQ and they sent to me the complete modbus mapping, included also the battery real-time data:

Using the custom HA integration developed by StephanJouBert (GitHub - StephanJoubert/home_assistant_solarman: Home Assistant component for Solarman collectors used with a variety of inverters.) i’ve been able to read some values. Afore inverter isn’t officially supported by thys integration, but with the modbus mapping is possible to map all the inverter data defining a custom_parameters.yaml with all the modbus calls. Here a rapid example made for read the battery SOC, total AC Power output and total PV Power:

Hi everyone, I have an Afore AF3 6K-SL inverter, what is the best method to integrate it on HA? Who can explain to me how to do it? Many thanks!
hi, your code works, can you pass me the complete code please? Thank you
I found the Exceedconn plug on eBay and wired up the RS485 pair to a USR-TCP232-306 device. I then write some code to read modbus (RS485) registers in the Afore inverter via Ethernet commands to the TCP232 device.

Then, after long discussions with cahtgpt.com and copilot, I created a script that transmits readings via MQTT to Home assistant
