IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE UPDATING
this effects people not using HA Discovery.
state topics have been changed to include device serial numbers; this should have been the case from the begining but wasn't.
this change fixes multiple transports to sending to a single MQTT transport.

small bug fixes
improve debug info
added srne v1.7 protocol 08f501a
update srne v1.9 protocol f713c98
added "write only" register write mode fcb08f6
added protocol "override" features 8ac4a56 46094b4
some house keeping
ha discovery bug fix - was adding a empty topic 25cf596

still much more on the list to implement!

Full Changelog: v1.1.1...v1.1.2

Python Protocol Gateway V1.1.1

lots of small bug fixes, esp those introduced in v1.1.0 restructure.
serial frame reader added, as a base for non-standard protocols... such as pylon 485
started pylon 485 implementation
started implementing expressions for csv config files. mainly ranges.

Pushing this "release" as it's been stable for a week now, and i'm getting low on time. so won't be any major updates for a while.

What's Changed

• V1.1.1 by @HotNoob in #30

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.1.1

Python Protocol Gateway V1.1.0

As by the title, you may notice that the project has been rebranded once again. this time should be the last rebranding / final title. to my current knowledge set, i believe this to be the best and most appropriate title to describe this project. while the main focus will be solar equipment, the project's focus on features will be maximized compatability with all solar AND industrial equipment. basically everything from your solar inverters to your car. Allowing for easier communication and automation without the need for specialized hardware.

---

Big changes, mainly rewriting the whole thing so that it can cleanly and easily accomodate future data streams, such as canbus, as well as significant added flexibility.

Because of theese significant changes and configs have to be completely rewritten.
The reason for the minor version increament is due to these changes. config wise there is no backwards compatability.
Do not update unless you are prepared to reconfigure / reinstall your setup :S

installation procedure is the same as before.
I've created two wikis to help document this more flexible way.
https://github.com/HotNoob/PythonProtocolGateway/wiki/Configuration-Examples#modbus-rtu-to-mqtt
https://github.com/HotNoob/PythonProtocolGateway/wiki/Transports

a transport is describing the device that you are connecting to and it's data.

All existing features remain to exist, but may be a bit buggy until i get back to them for testing.

In the future i will be testing and adding functionality for translating between all "transport" types.
ie, creating two transports, modbus rtu, and modbus tcp, will allow you to essentially create a modbus tcp server/gateway.

you can have multiple devices on one instance, but i recommend against it, and recommend using seperate configs / instances for the sake of stability. this is also currently untested :P
