# Should work with PHOENIXTEC manufactured inverters: CMS / Sun Ezy / Orion / Eaton / Chint et al.
#
# Should at least work with:
# * CMS2000  (CMS  2000)
# * CMS10000 (CMS 10000) - requires more testing though
# * SE2800   (SunEzy 2800)
# * SE4600   (SunEzy 600E)
# * ETN2000  (Eaton  2000)
# * ETN3300  (Eaton SG1I-3300/1-I)
# * CPS      (Chint Power Systems) but appears ETODAY 30% < ETOTAL
