Support for local Solax G3 inverters using the WiFi dongle with local connection and API instead of the cloud connection.

Special thanks to https://github.com/squishykid/solax who did all of the hard work by reverse engineer and implement all inverter API responses, i just ported the python project partly to Homey / NodeJS

Project can be found on https://github.com/jurgenmahn/homey-solax-local-api

How to use:

Recent inverter models, including those using PocketWifi devices, have undergone changes in their firmware. These updates have altered how their API is accessible:

New Behavior: The API is no longer available when the inverter is connected to your home Wi-Fi network. Current Access Point: The API remains accessible, but only through the inverter's own broadcasted Wi-Fi network (SSID). Solution for Integration: To use this sensor with updated inverters, you'll need to set up a reverse proxy system. This involves:

Using a device like a Raspberry Pi Configuring the Raspberry Pi with two network connections: a) One connection to your home network b) Another Wi-Fi connection to the inverter's SSID Setting up NGINX to act as a reverse proxy

This setup allows you to maintain access to the inverter's API while it's not directly exposed on your main network.
