any way to get connected Inverter status #42

Hi there, I'm not a real coder, but know enough to be dangerous. I got the example.py working just fine - but I can't find a way in the code to return the current Inverter status. There's functions like "updateInverter" - but I'm not trying to update anything.

In the Android Watt.Pilot app you can see "Status no car connected\nInverter connection lost" kinda thing, so it's that Inverter detail I'm trying to get.

We have had a problem since day 1 with the Watt.Pilot 1-5 times per month losing connectivity with the Fronius Inverter - which breaks auto-charging via ECO mode, etc. So I was hoping to use this package to run via a cronjob to detect when this happens, and then reboot the Watt.Pilot - as a reboot always fixes it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
