Documentation

[phulstaert]

This is a great plugin to use, but the learning curve is very steep. Some documentation could ease the integration pain. I am willing to help with this, but I will need help myself.

And it begins with the simple stuff like:

• You cannot add the device in Home Assistant if the "ACE Service Installer" is connected to the device at the same time. You will get an unknown error when you try this, so first close the ACE Service Installer.
• Also it asks for a usename and password. This is the username "admin" alongside the "Owner" password. Simple information, but together with the first point, makes a hell in trying to find out why it will not connect.

Other stuff I don't know yet are:

• Does this plugin only uses the API or also modbus? Do I need to configure modbus and active loadbalancing or not?
• Is there a "push preferred settings" button so the integration configures the modbus and balancing settings to a default or preferred state?
• Are there examples of automations on how to best manage the amps so it stays under a certain Wattage or only uses a certain wattage compared to energy send back to the grid, energy used from the grid, production of solar, no charging if home battery not > 80% for example, etc...

Aside from very long form posts and a few lists in the github wiki, there is no sign of a much needed manual.
