Support for ENER314? #71

Closed daxliniere closed 10 months ago

Hey @Achronite, Thank you for providing this package to the community. What was the difficulty you had in implementing ENER314 support? From what I can see, it just needs its data pins (D0-D3) to be set to form a 4-bit binary code and there's a table of permissible codes in the documentation.

All the best, Dax.

Yeah - it is quite easy from what I remember for the 'old' board. I did it using the built-in node-red GPIO 'nodes' at the time. You are just limited to 6 devices (not 4 as energenie claims) in total with the binary combinations.

Yes, I'm staring down the barrel of that now. Trying to work out a better way to send the 4-bits than 4 pairs of high/low Inject nodes. 😬
