Get data from Sofar PV inverter

It connects locally to the 8899 port of the logger. It works fairly stable and I would test it for a week or two to catch corner cases before releasing it. However I am wondering how the binding should behave when inverter goes offline because the low energy production, through the night? As for know I just setting the offli…
