IMST PA-iM871A Wireless M-Bus dongle #16

Hi @sunsetdk , first thank you for the plugin. I have connected an IMST PA-iM871A Wireless M-Bus dongle to my PC (Windows). I have installed the drivers correctly because the provided (sniffer) software recognizes the USB stick.

Now, I want to connect to an M-Bus device (a gas meter) via Node-Red. For this, I am using your plugin.

The flow consists of your node connected to a debug node, configured to connect to my USB dongle.

What I want to do now is communicate with my dongle. I have tried various methods to send data via an inject node, but nothing seems to work. Can you please help me figure out how to send a message to the dongle and receive a message from it? (for example, receive the name of the dongle in Node-Red) Thanks in advance Kind regards, Werner
