+Simple Python3 script to copy latest (normally once per 5 minutes) SolisCloud portal inverter update to PVOutput portal, Domoticz, and/or MQTT Broker (e.g. HomeAssistant, ioBroker).
 
 The soliscloud_to_pvoutput.py script will get the station id via the configured soliscloud_station_index (default the first station) with the secrets of SolisCloud (see next section). Thereafter it will get the inverter id and serial number via the configured soliscloud_inverter_index (default the first inverter). Then in an endless loop the inverter details are fetched and the following information is used:

+## MQTT Broker (e.g. HomeAssistant, ioBroker)
+An MQTT broker is a server that receives all messages from the clients and then routes the messages to the appropriate destination clients. Information is organized in a hierarchy of topics. When SolisCloud2PVOutput has a new item of data to distribute, it sends a control message with the data to the connected broker. The broker then distributes the information to any clients that have subscribed to that topic. The SolisCloud2PVOutput does not need to have any data on the number or locations of subscribers, and subscribers, in turn, do not have to be configured with any data about the publishers.
+
+If you want to know how to configure your inverter to send information to a MQTT Broker, see [this discussion](https://github.com/ZuinigeRijder/SolisCloud2PVOutput/discussions/30).
