-This application allows you to monitor most chinese hybrid inverters such as `sako, epever, easun, mpp, voltronic, axpert, etc.` in realtime via USB port as an alternative to the wifi kit/module and cloud based apps such as smartess, watchpower, smartclient, etc. which can be at times unreliable.

-Once your inverter is connected via USB, a new device path should appear in `/dev/hidraw0`. Once that's available and if your inverter supports the **Voltronic** communication protocol, all you have to do is execute the `InverterMon.Server` executable. The the binaries can be downloaded from the [releases section](https://github.com/dj-nitehawk/Hybrid-Inverter-Monitor/releases).
