r/GivEnergy

Hey all. I'm the author of givenergy-modbus, the underlying modbus client that e.g. GivTCP uses. I built it years ago while I was on a sabbatical but haven't looked at it in a while. However with the shenanigans happening with GivEnergy right now this prompted me to return to it.

I revived givenergy-hass which is a Home Assistant custom component you can install via HACS, and integrates the client directly into HA. It simplifies the entire deployment by not needing MQTT or a separate app to be running, and shows up as a first-class citizen in the UI instead of being hidden in the MQTT devices.

I'm looking for anybody who is interested in testing / improving this, particularly with hardware I don't have access to.
