If you have a spare USB/Serial adaptor then all you’d need would be one of these adaptors.

or something similar. I use several of these with different thermostats and devices they work fine and if you’re willing to go for direct shipping from china and wait a month you can get them for $6 or $7 bucks, price goes up to $8 or $9 if you want it amazon prime ;)

They do make RS485 to serial adaptors with the FTDI chipset that would work too, but if this doesn’t work out then you’ve got a useless piece of gear more expensive than just the adaptor. Unless you need another USB/Serial adaptor anyway. 

I have no idea if we can collect any data from it at all, but if it were me I would hook the thing up and just see.
