Looks like spam to me, because:

@Nils-Ole_Connor you tried this great SMA app and it didn’t work out for you? It supports batteries amongst other devices;

SMA isn’t blocking anything because it uses the LOCAL Modbus protocol.

Instead of shouting, we often can discuss with the developer about issues or feature requests.
