add ModulPower #18

Closed joe288 closed 1 year ago

joe288 commented 1 year ago

with the ModulPower commando you can e.g. turn a MIC 600TL-X into a MIC 1000TL-X

@joe288 thanks for adding this. How did you find this information? I have a MIC 1500TL-X, so potentially I can also override that as well? Do you have any ideas what the limitation could be?

Hi, I got the information from a German forum. https://www.photovoltaikforum.com/thread/171200-growatt-mic-serie-600-2000-wie-ist-leistungsvariante-codiert/?pageNo=1 The MIC 1500TL-X can be encoded up to 2000W. In the forum someone set his MIC 600TL-X to 2000W without any problems.

In the data sheet of the Growatt you can clearly see that the same hardware is probably used from 600W to 2000W.

Unbenannt

Thanks a lot, indeed it makes sense. And we can also monitor the internal temperature and draw some conclusion from that as well. Or if over temperature fault codes start to show up.

One more question. I just got a new "issue" raised asking to specify a licence for the repository. He mentions that he is preferring MIT. I have no preference at all, and not knowledgeable about picking the correct license. I feel like besides the a framework, most of the knowledge on this project is the modbus protocol format published by Growatt. But since you made major contributions to this project, I wanted to ask you if you have any reservations for MIT licence.

Hello, I'm not familiar with licenses either. But after a short research, I would also opt for the MIT license.
