Release v1.2.4 (beta)

New features

• Add a config option when adding the integration to turn reopen the socket between each command to the ECU. Some users report this work better for the ECU_R_PRO and ECU_C, but it doesn't do well for a standard ECU_R. Please try and report back so we can figure this out.

• Remove apsystems_ecur.start_query and apsystems_ecu.end_query service, now there is a switch on the ECU called switch.ecu_query_device if the switch is on, will query the device, if off it will read from cache. Can be used with an automation to turn on/off querying when the sun has set or risen
• Add 2 additional sensors sensor.ecu_inverters and sensor.ecu_inverters_online to show you how man inverters have been configured in your ECU and how many are currently reporting data
• Break up sensors in groups in the Device UI, make it easier to add important ones to Lovelace
• Add support for the download diagnostics button the on the devices - hopefully will help debugging when there are problems

Bug fixes

• Fixes errors in caching
• Change code to always close socket between commands to ECU (before this was only done on the ECU-C and ECU_R_PRO)
• Change the socket code to be a little more simplified and hopefully work better
• Add more exception handling and detect error conditions
