Timeout reading bluetooth socket

I did some investigation (debug analyse1.txt), and found that there is a part 
missing of the $ADD2 address (last 02 value), received from the inverter. Or 
this is wronfully received from the inverter, or it is wrongfully added by the 
script...

There is something similar described in issue 72 -->

Try to reolace the line 58 by:

Maybe you're using wrong inverter codes?
For my 4000TL-20 I'm using
Code1 0x78
Code2 0x21
Code3 0xbf
Code4 0x3a
InvCode 0x4e

I tried different inverter codes already, doesn't seem to help.

If I change the line 58, the tool seems to get into a loop, and doesn't report 
anything back, besides the bluetooth signal and the serial number (which seems 
to change in the loop from time to time)

Also odd is that the serial number seems to change in this loop...
Note that this isn't a constant loop. It seems to end after some time...

Maybe something related to a certain firmware version of the inverter?
We could start a new tread where everyone can describe which firmware/inverter 
type/Smatool ver/OS/hardware... they are running succesfully....

Hi,
the "loop" is running 20 times as set in the sourcecode. With my 5000TL-21 i 
get similar "results". Until now i check the database and delete all false 
entries so that after some retries i get data to pvoutput.org. If i guess i 
would say that smatool gets data collected and send to pvoutput.org with a rate 
of 70-80%.

To get more information use the -v or -d switches.

Greetings

Mario
