Control Q.Cell Q.Home Core inverter?

Hi, has anyone found a way to control the Q.Cell Q Home Core H4 inverter via home assistant?
Either locally or via the cloud.

The system appears on my network and I’ve been able to make sensors that read data from it but the only ways I’m able to set charge/discharge are with the official website and app.

Did you get any response to your question ?
Thanks

I have a potential solution for these inverters, please see my post here:

Sooooo, I’ve been a bit busy over the last couple of few weeks working on a solution to this. I’ve done some reverse engineering of the Installer portal on port 7000 and now have a Python script that allows me to schedule the Inverter based on Solcast forecasts. I also have a second script which polls readings every 5 seconds to build up a usage history (so I have a local copy if th…

How did you get the data out please?

Also did you have any luck with this?
