PC connection

Should the PC running the program be connected to the inverter via RS232?

No need. If you have set DNS overide for ESS domain (which probably you are as you are getting other data), then just switch Fake client to false, so it will connect to real ESS cloud and show itseld to ESS app like the module (RS232 to Wifi) is talking to Cloud directly. But you will see all communication in service console.

I get this:

you need to manually add the org.eclipse.paho.client.mqtt library?

Ahh, sorry, ignore my last comment; I thought I am answering some follow-up msg . No you need to make DNS override in your network so your router, instead of sending traffic to ess cloud, sends to this proxy. I can't tell you how to do that, as everyones network is different.
