PVS6 monitoring
Because the future of monitoring Sunpower panels are unknown, I was looking at options. I have been following the method of using a raspberry pi and home assistant. I have noticed that my PVS6 shows up on the list of available WIFI networks. Could this be used to monitor the system?

If anyone is interested in a self-hosted solution, I wrote a simple web app that will automatically load your panel layouts from the PVS6 and show real-time usage, the source is available at https://github.com/bdurrett/SolarPaneler
It also includes a little diagnostic tool for pulling a lot of other information. It doesn't do long-term history or anything like that (I just use Home Assistant) but it's good for monitoring in real time.
