Internet friends, do any of you have a Fronius Gen24 series solar inverter on the same network as a Linux computer?

EDIT: Thanks everyone, I've got a few solid samples back now! Much appreciated

If so, could I trouble you to please run the following two commands and send me back the output?

avahi-browse -rv _Fronius-SE-Inverter._tcp

avahi-browse -rv _Fronius-SE-SmartMeter._tcp

(If you've not got the "Smart Meter" addon then the second command might not do anything, not to worry if so.)

Is all in the aid of reverse engineering for interoperability. If what I'm trying to do works then it'll be open sourced. 💪

Boosts for reach appreciated!

@projectgus I've got a Gen24, but not a Linux computer at the moment, just macOS. Let me know if I can still help somehow.

@layoutSubviews Hey, thanks! I think the equivalent for MacOS is first "dns-sd -B _Fronius-SE-Inverter._tcp" which will resolve the service to its instance name(s) and then "dns-sd -L <name> _Fronius-SE-Inverter._tcp" which will (I think) list some info including any TXT records associated with the service, which is the info I'm trying to find out.

@spudly kindly sent me some linux output already, but it does look like either the inverter or avahi-resolve tool is corrupting the TXT string - so if you were feeling generous I'd be very interested to see if you can get anything back!

@projectgus @spudly Will do when I'm home later today!
