HomeKit support?

Any chance anybody has tried getting HomeKit (GoodWe power monitor) to work? I have a MS inverter, which works great with the integration, just hoping to get HomeKit running locally as well, the SEMS version has quite a few issues with it.

I did the discovery broadcast on 255.255.255.255 port 48899 and I get responses from both my inverter and the HomeKit, so it seams to use the same communication as the inverters. I don't have time at the moment to dig into it properly, but responding to the broadcast seams promising that it could work.

I tried just adding it as if it was an inverter, but that fails, but im not sure on the inner workings of the integration, or if maybe I just have an old ARM firmware, though the device is new, and was only installed a week ago

The port 48899 is usually the port of the wifi module itself, not the device.
So the fact it listens there does not indicate it talks the same protocol as the inverter.
I'm afraid I won't be able to help you here, since I neither have no such device to play with, nor even assume it behaves the same way as the inverter ;-(
