local Sofar inverter

The local_sofar_inverter component is a Home Assistant integration that creates custom sensors for local monitoring your Sofar inverter. It reads data from your inverter page, so you dont need to connect to any 'cloud' When there is no sun, tthere is no PV energy so integration doesnt ask your inverter about it

Returns:

• current power
• today's energy
• total energy
• inverter errors

My 1st HA component so be polite :)
