Test Inverter compatibility

[cyrils]

Test compatibility with Renogy inverter models:

• RIV4835CSH1S-US
• RNG-INVT-XX series
• R-INVT-PCL1-XX series

The InverterClient is experimental and may be incomplete/ incompatible with some models.

This is running the Lycan 5000 using the InverterClient. Is this the output that you want to see?

Thanks! Are these values correct? May be there is a scaling issue so solar_voltage=93.9, load_current=0.2A etc?

[braathwaate]

This is the actual output. I've fixed some of the scaling issues in the LycanClient in my fork. And battery_current is wacky and I do not understand it. Here is the output from LycanClient:

I've merged a basic support to master, but still not fully tested as I don't have a device.

I have a R-INVT-PCL1-30111S-US, and I'm curious how you are expecting to connect to it. It is my understanding that it netiher has bluetooth, nor is its RJ45 port connected to anything internal. The RJ11 is connected for two status LEDs (power and error) and remote power switch.

I'd be thrilled to hear that I could get some data out of it.

[cyrils]

Yes, looks like R-INVT-PCL1 series don't support it.
