* VE.Direct: remove polling interval
the polling interval was meant to limit the amount of MQTT updates.
however, that is already controlled by the global MQTT publish interval.
the removed interval was instead used to limit polling of the VE.Direct
UART for incoming data.
the Victron device sends data unsolicited. the VeDirectFrameHandler does
not implement any polling mechanism. no data is ever sent to the Victron
device.
what the removed polling interval did was cause a buffer overrun of the
HardwareSerial class, since the incoming data was not processed in time.
so every five seconds, we read a whole valid VE.Direct frame, plus some
old data, which was not a whole frame, leading to VE.Direct error
messages to pop up.
with the polling interval removed, no framing errors are reported, and
instead we gain new data from the charge controller approximately ever
two seconds -- for free.
* VE.Direct: change texts to correct VE.Direct capital letters
* VE.Direct: improve "UpdatesOnly" switch labels
especially since the publish interval setting is gone, the label makes
it hard to comprehend what the switch does. update the texts to better
explain what the switch is used for.
use the same text on the VE.Direct info view.
* VE.Direct: use StatusBadge on info view
there were custom badges to indicate the VE.Direct settings. replace
those by the common StatusBadge to make then look the same as the other
badged on the info views.
a new status is needed to communicate that no update was sent to the
inverter because its power limit is still valid. in this case,
calculating a new power limit is delayed by an exponentially increasing
backoff. the maximum backoff time is ~1s, which is still plenty fast.
the backoff is actually necessary for another reason: at least
currently, a lot of debug messages are printed to the console. printing
all that information in every DPL loop() is too much.
the unconditional solar passthrough mode, configured using MQTT, works
differently than the normal mode of operation. it is also independent
from the power meter reading. if this mode is active, a shortcut is
taken to a function that implements the actions for this mode. this is
convenient since we don't have to consider special cases in the code
that handles normal mode of operation.
the DPL already took care to shut down the inverter if anything fishy
was going on, mainly to make sure that the battery is not drained.
however, some cases were missed:
* if the configuration changed such that another inverter is now
targeted, the one the DPL controlled previously was not shut down.
* if the configuration changed such that another inverter (different
serial number) was configured at the same index, the previous one
was not shut down.
this change corrects these problems by making the DPL keep a copy of the
shared_ptr to the inverter. the shared_ptr is only released once the DPL
shut the respective inverter down.
this implementation checks all requirements for a new power limit to be
calculated, one after the other. if any requirement is not met, a
respective status is announced.
status messages are communicated on the (serial) console. these can also
be displayed easily on the web app in the future. the status texts
explain clearly what the DPL is currently doing, which aids
understanding how the DPL works. the status is only announced if it
changes, or after a fixed interval.
as each requirement is checked individually, the code readability is
improved as well. previously, all the respective conditions had to be
checked as well, but the statements were more complex.
the DPL loop is now executed with high frequency, i.e., it does not wait
for a fixed timespan to pass before checking requirements. it always
aborts on the first unmet requirement. this should improve responsiveness,
as the DPL checks all requirements more often.
the DPL now waits for all power commands and power limit updates to
complete. when that is the case, a settling time elapses. after the
settling phase, the DPL waits for a new update from the inverter and
from the power meter. now it can be assumed that the values are in sync.
it then makes sense to calculate a new power limit immediately, which
the DPL then does.
the defaults for solar passthrough voltage thresholds shall be floats,
so the user can store float values to the config. otherwise, float
values can and will be stored, but when reading them, the defaults will
be applied as the defaults are of an incompatible type.
there is no need to assume and hardcode a fixed efficiency for the
Victron solar charger. the charger reports the voltage and current at
its battery terminal, which can be used to calculate the charger's
actual power output.
the fallback to 100% for the efficiency of the Hoymiles inverter, in
case it is not producing power, is too optimistic. this commit proposes
to use 96.7% as the efficiency for that case, which is the peak
efficiency for many (all?) Hoymiles inverters as per datasheet. that
value should be closer to the real efficiency that will be achieved once
the inverter is turned on.
In addition to the cyclic query of the power meters, they will be queried on demand when total power is requested and last update is older than 1 second.

* add support for energy & power readings on SML based power meters, taking OBIS 16.7.1 for power (using mod. SML Parser lib. by olliiiver)
* switched SML read to use software serial
* made total power meter response controled by meter source to obtain either the sum of phase powers or explicit total power provided by meter
* made mqtt subscriptions to power meter topics meter source dependend
* simplified SML read loop and OBIS handler registration, + minor refactoring
* minor cleanup/style changes and optim. PowerMeter
* fixed build, add SOURCE_SML == 4
* removed optional usage of HW serial for SML power meter
* switched to usage of _powerMeter1Power for SML power reading to allign better with existing code

* Power limiter: Use the actual AC power for limit calculation
instead of the last set limit.
In order support setups without battery connected (sources that don't exhaust the limit)
* adding data age to battery data
* Add battery enabled flag
* Webapi and websocket api for Battery
* Webinterface for battery
* fixed bug due to naming inconsistencies
* cleaned up rounding
* dist update
* change typename to uppercase
* reverting to original file
This allows to enter a offset in kWh in the inverter properties which will be applied to the read Yield Total value of the inverter. Using this can set your total production to zero if you e.g. are using a used device.
Added additional field to the prometheus api which identifies a channel by it's type. That means that e.g. channel 0 exists for type AC and DC.
This commit also introduces a additional field in the statistics byte assignment table. This field identifies whether a channel is on the AC or DC side. MQTT and WebAPI is still compatible with the previous design.
chango to full Buffer Mode, remove picture loop,
because it's not worked.

snprintf + public vars
- dispPowerSafe => true: PowerSafe Mode on
- dispLogo => true: showing Logo upper right corner
- dispContrast => possible to adjust the Display Contrast

Arrow and Logo only shown, when production is on
Refactor OLEDDisplayClass to DisplayGraphicClass
After this commit its not possible to migrate from the old binary blob config to the new json based config!! If you still running a old version before 12. October please upgrade to a version before this commit.
