I’m new to Homey Pro and also new to Java. I would really like to be able to control the Sofar ME3000 from Homey but struggling slightly to know the best approach.

Previously what I have done is write something in C# to control the Sofar either over WIFI or a wired connection. To enable it over WIFI, i modified the MODBUS project code to enable coding and decoding of the wrapper information that encapsulates MODBUS data sent from the inverter.

So my though it i would have to do the same to the jsmodbus code and make a specific version for just for Sofar.

Is there any other possible approach?

My fall back would be using Node red on a low power machine local to and wired to the inverter but that seems kinda clunky. (the hardware is already there and I sometimes use it via port forwarding to my PC and a .Net program).

I’d much rather do it form Homey…
