quickstart

Currently just clone the project and just start the cli (that will create a virtualenv and installs every dependencies)

e.g.:

~$ git clone https://github.com/jedie/inverter-connect.git
~$ cd inverter-connect
~/inverter-connect$ ./cli.py --help

The output of ./cli.py --help looks like:

Usage: ./cli.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

print-at-commands

Help from ./cli.py print-at-commands --help Looks like:

Usage: ./cli.py print-at-commands [OPTIONS] IP [COMMANDS]...

 Print one or more AT command values from Inverter.
 Use all known AT commands, if no one is given, e.g.:
 .../inverter-connect$ ./cli.py print-at-commands 192.168.123.456
 Or speficy one or more AT-commands, e.g.:
