setup config instructions?

[aspiringguru]

just found this repo, Can you add some notes on which versions of python, platform it runs on? basic setup and config as I'm not the best at picking up someone elses code.

I'm hoping to get a connection over bluetooth to my SMA SB-3000TL-20.

but mostly thanks for publishing this.

Sorry, this fell through the cracks and I didn't get around to look at it until now. I'm afraid this is mostly a project for my personal use - I don't really have the time to do much about supporting it for others. The current python-smadata2 tree runs on Python3, though I only moved it from Python2 relatively recently. It needs the "dateutil" external package. I've only ever used it on Linux (mostly Debian / Raspbian, though I've done a little on Fedora as well). I don't think there's anything fundamentally linked to the OS, but it might have some Unix-y assumptions in there. Where do you think would be a good place to put such notes?

Ok, I don't immediately know if that inverter uses the protocol version which this code supports. I know SMA had an earlier protocol which is totally different, and I think there's also a newer one which also appears to be pretty different - I haven't investigated it much.
