Should the PC running the program be connected to the inverter via RS232?

Sorry for my English. The program starts, receives data from the logger and sends it further, the settings from SmartESS also work. However, no data appears on the MQTT broker. Logs from the broker show that the client connected successfully. What else can I check?

Hello, I also have a PowMr with Wifi Stick and would like to have the data in Home Assistant. Reading out via Modbus does not work :( Can this be rewritten as a HACS integration? Because unfortunately I can't run it like that.

Could you please add the build instructions to the readme ?

Hey @Paxy, first of all - thank you for this project, it looks potentially really useful. I was able to make it work(partially) by wrapping it into docker image and putting in the same docker network as my Home Assistant and mosquitto containers. I've added local DNS record to my pihole, so now all traffic from PowMr is redirected to your app. I see packages in logs (Node: and Server: logs), so modbus stuff is working, and my SmartESS app is still showing data(I set fakeClient to false), so all good with that.

The only problem I can't figure out is how to make mqtt work. I configured MQTT integration in Home Assistant and tested it(started listening home/Inverter/ and then published test message to that topic), but I don't see any data coming from your app. Looks like your app is not sending any data to my mosquitto instance. Any hints what's wrong with my setup? I'm not really familiar with Java so maybe I messed up something.

I see that you mentioned org.eclipse.paho.client.mqtt library, do I need to install it separately? I assumed it would be included to your .jar during compilation.

Also I noticed that your MQTTClient.java file contains public class ModbusClient and judging by code it connects to port 502(which is modbus port) which doesn't look right. Maybe that's the problem?

Thanks
