Solis:

• Added Button "Update Charge/Discharge Times"

Moved the following to write_method = WRITE_DATA_LOCAL,

• Timed Charge Start
• Timed Charge End
• Timed Discharge Start
• Timed Discharge End

Changing the times by them selves don't write to the Inverter, once you have finished setting all times, you press the Button "Update Charge/Discharge Times" The values will then be written to the Inverter in a write_registers block of multiple registers being written at once.

Beta 2 Changes:

Decoupled number / sensor entities.
Set number entities to initvalue = 0,

Beta 3 Changes:

Tried to couple number and sensor entities back together, so you can see changes made from the Inverter.

Beta 4 Changes:

Changed log level in __init__.py

Beta 5 Changes:

General:

• Corrected loading of local data for non SolaX gen4 Inverters

Sofar:

• Additional debugging to understand why "Passive Mode Battery Charge/Discharge" doesn't return int before writing to the Inverter.

SolaX Gen4:

• Add 2 remotecontrol modbus power modes: Self_Use and Feedin_Priority emulations

Solis:

• Added Button "Update Charge/Discharge Times"

General:

• Migrated to native_unit_of_measurement = UnitOf123.XYZ, for example POWER_WATT = UnitOfPower.WATT,
  Closes #288

• Changed value_functions for write_multiple to use tuples instead of dictionary

Solis:

• Fixed missing SensorDeviceClass.BATTERY from DEVICE_CLASS_* migration

SolaX Gen4:

• More accurate remotecontrol battery_control computation

Sofar:

Added Button:

• "Passive Mode Battery Charge/Discharge"

Added Number:

• "Passive Mode Battery Power"

Added Sensors:

• "Passive Mode Timeout" (Disabled by default)
• "RO Passive Mode Gdes"
• "RO Passive Mode Battery Power"
• "RO Passive Mode Upper"
• "System State"
• "Waiting Time"

Warning
This isn't fully tested so be careful
Was in 2023.01.4 Beta, but needed to push out other fixes

Before trying out Battery Charge / Discharge can you please note down the following:
"Passive Mode Timeout" (Disabled by default)
"RO Passive Mode Gdes"
"RO Passive Mode Battery Power"
"RO Passive Mode Upper"

To Force Charge / Discharge the battery from the Grid:
Set number "Passive Mode Battery Power" to desired charge / discharge rate. (Positive = Charge from Grid, Negative = Discharge to Grid)
Set select "Charger Use Mode" to "Passive Mode"
Press button "Passive Mode Battery Charge/Discharge"
To end function return select "Charger Use Mode" to "Self Use"

Number "Passive Mode Battery Power" isn't real-time, it only functions after pressing button "Passive Mode Battery Charge/Discharge"
To change the rate you need to change the number and then press the button again.

Do not attempt to press Button "Passive Mode Battery Charge/Discharge" with select "Charger Use Mode" in any mode other than "Passive Mode"

Warning
This is untested so be careful

Sofar:

Test to see if the following work:

• "Remote Control" - Actually System On / Off (ie turns the Inverter on / off
• "Charger Use Mode"
• "EPS Control"

Beta 2 Changes:

Before trying out Battery Charge / Discharge can you please note down the following:
"Passive Mode Timeout" (Disabled by default)
"RO Passive Mode Gdes"
"RO Passive Mode Battery Power"
"RO Passive Mode Upper"

I am expecting them all to be set to zero.

Due to the number of breaking changes in the 2022.12.1 code, when upgrading from 0.6.4 you need to remove the Integration from the Integration page before updating, then re add the Integration following restarting Home Assistant.

Sofar:

• Added "Update Charge/Discharge Times" Button
• Added error FFFB - FFFF to "RO Timing ID"

The following need to be set before pressing "Update Charge/Discharge Times" Button

'timing_id'
'timing_charge'
'timing_charge_start_time'
'timing_charge_end_time'
'timing_discharge_start_time'
'timing_discharge_end_time'
'timing_charge_power'
'timing_discharge_power'

They should default to the corresponding 'ro_' sensors
