Beta with choking - needs testing with new firmware or emulator

[matfroh]

BETA
This is a beta release to test choking as per documentation released in March 2025.

Tests needed:

• can it read the status of the chocking
• once enabled, can it write the value selected to choke
• does it repeat every 4 minutes as expected
• is the service working as expected? (developers, actions, call for SAX battery pilot for HomeAssistant: set_choking )

Sollte dieses relativ neue Registerschema implementiert werden, so kommt das einer kompletten Neuimplementierung der SAX Unterstützung für HEMS (HA, evcc, etc.) gleich.
Leider werden schriftliche Fragen bei SAX nur nach mehrfacher Aufforderung beantwortet.

Replying in English: thanks for sharing!
let’s try to give the guys at SAX some air and not overload their support team with questions. Those API’s are given as is and it’s up to us to figure out… The more we overload them with question, the less time they have to implement the sunspec standard.

I would be keen to see if what I understood of the previous documentation makes it work with the beta code i had published.. so if anyone has this new software, please share. To my understanding, the current implementation should still work as it’s operating on different registers.

where did you get that paper from.
The service mentioned a "newsservice" but they forgot to put me on...
