Contribution: A Local Simulator for Zendure Home Assistant Integration Testing

[eremid]

Hello team!
I recently built zendure-ha-simulator (https://github.com/eremid/zendure-ha-simulator), a lightweight simulator designed specifically to test and debug the Zendure Home Assistant integration without needing physical hardware.
It locally simulates:

• 2× Hyper 2000 devices (via local MQTT broker)
• 1× SolarFlow 2400 AC+ (via ZenSDK HTTP polling)
• A 5 kW solar field and variable home consumption profile

It's containerized, pushes real-time MQTT reports, responds to HA properties/write commands (like charge/discharge), and features a small Web UI to override battery SOC and solar power on the fly.
I built this to help the community test AC-coupled architectures and edge cases safely. I'd love your feedback on it, and feel free to use it or mention it in your developer docs if you think it can help contributors!
Thanks for your great work on the integration!

Then we have already 3 simulator 😊. I build one (private), @FireSon started a new one and now you. All with a slightly different approach.
I will take a look at your version, maybe we can combine the tools.

Nice 😄 I will check it out! Both @harrymayr and myself used the logfile in order to get a 'real-life' power consumption and solar input. Curious as to how you implemented that!
