GbbConnect

Program to connect inverters (eg: Deye) and program GbbVictronWeb.gbbsoft.pl.

To connect with inverters program uses SolarmanV5 protocol. (Loggers serial numers: 17xxxxxxx, 21xxxxxxx or 40xxxxxxx) (maybe also: 27xxxxxxx, 23xxxxxxx)

To connect with GbbVictronWeb program uses Mqtt server and own protocol (see Wiki).

GbbConnect remarks:

• Data on disk are grouped using number in column "No". So if you want start new inverter with new data then put new No.
