All "N/A" ports, and no devices appearing in mate3_write --list-fields other than Mate #10

Using the CLI commands, I got a message saying I should raise an issue in GitHub, so here I am.

I have a Mate3s with ~9 month old firmware, on a Hub10, 2x Radian GS8048a, 3x FM-100, and FNDC. All data interfacing functions of the Mate seem to work normally.

I'm happy to send the entirety of what I see in the terminal, but it's pretty straightforward. When I first run mate3_write ... --list-fields, it starts with 25 lines of the following:

20200828 01:51:55 Unknown device type with device ID 120

Then, it lists the mate3 and outback_system_control with "Hub ports" showing N/A, and all of the following fields show N/A for the ports. There are no fields listed for any of the devices on the hub (inverters, charge controllers, FNDC).

=================================== Devices ==================================== DEVICE NAME HUB PORT(S) mate3 N/A outback_system_control N/A ==================================== Fields ==================================== FIELD NAME HUB PORT(S) mate3.ags_24_hour_start_mode N/A 0=Disabled, 1=Enabled mate3.ags_24_hour_start_voltage N/A Twenty Four Hour AGS Start Voltage mate3.ags_2_hour_start_mode N/A 0=Disabled, 1=Enabled mate3.ags_2_hour_start_voltage N/A Two Hour AGS Start Voltage

...etc.

Obviously, I can't write to the fields, and in trying to do so, I learned that I:

Cannot set values for devices which lack a 'port_number' field. Please raise an issue in GitHub if you see this, including details of the device you are trying to set values on.

My main goal is to be able to change the AC mode on the master inverter, although there are a number of Mate-related fields that would also be nice to be able to change. Thanks for taking a look.

@tymarbut - I think this is supported in PR #6 . You're welcome to check it out and have a try - or, if you're willing to wait an indetermined-but-hopefully-not-too-long time, I'll push it to PyPI etc.

Done = ) I haven't tested writing robustly, so be warned - but I figure it's best to push now. I'm planning on working more on this over the next month, including writing to the mate.

Closing as I think this should be covered in the most recent library, and I haven't heard otherwise. Feel free to reopen @tymarbut if that's not the case!
