[Linux-aus] Photovoltaic inverter monitoring or logging software

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

I have an SMA inverter and there is software to read it (via built-in bluetooth).
Works well.

I had a quick search for yours and came across a mention that it is the same as
the JFY inverter for which there is software:

Worth a try?

cheers
