local Sofar inverter

The local_sofar_inverter component is a Home Assistant integration that creates custom sensors for local monitoring your Sofar inverter. It reads data from your inverter page, so you dont need to connect to any 'cloud' Returns:

• current power
• today's energy
• total energy
• inverter errors

My 1st HA component so be polite :)
