Dokumentation request

[Hofyyy]

Hello Martin,

first of all. Thanks for the great project. I try to connect a "Powerfox" Grid meter to my Victron management system. Until now I have a MQTT Topic which updates every 3 sec. the WATT number from all phases.

I am not sure if this questions are right in the Issue section, but i did not find a discussion page or something like that.

Now I have to ask stupid questions. But maybe this helps to enhance the documentation.

1. clientId

   • On which MQTT server or client is this generated?
   • How can I find it? At the moment I use my own mosquito, Redflow and MQTT Explorer to try to generate exact the tuple your driver would need. So I play locally before pushing wrong data to your driver.

2. And maybe you could also add a "grid" example?

3. "devices/*" vs "device" In the documentation I am not sure which is the right MQTT root path. device"s" vs. device?

Step by step its running :-)

Looks good! :)

Tele-Energy#Total and Tele-Energy#Current can be written to two topics .../Ac/xxx and .../Ac/L1/xxx I don't know if it's necessary but just in case it doesn't work as expected.

   ON Tele-Energy#Total DO Backlog Publish W/%mem1%/%mem5%/%mem2%/Ac/Energy/Forward {"value": %value%}; Publish W/%mem1%/%mem5%/%mem2%/Ac/L%mem3%/Energy/Forward {"value": %value%} ENDON
   ON Tele-Energy#Current DO Backlog Publish W/%mem1%/%mem5%/%mem2%/Ac/L%mem3%/Current {"value": %value%};  Publish W/%mem1%/%mem5%/%mem2%/Ac/Current {"value": %value%} ENDON

I checked it. And I found that it should not be needed on L1. Also in the GGCX its looks good this way.

OK, nice to know. Power has to be written to both topics otherwise it hadn't worked for me.
