Hi, my old dcs was replaced with a 5.5 BA model, so i needed to use the newer api... Installed this one, but on the config flow the titles were just blanc, so it was a little bit of guessing :-)

Anyway , i think this issue should be reopened? Probability something to do with the dictionaries?

Thnx , and appreciate this version, works quite well!

Only the status, when kostal is "off", I see the status entity in "unknown" state? Shouldn't that be something like power off ?

Well yes and no. I was not able to pin point exactly which state corresponds to what value reported by the inverter.
As you can see here there are two unknown values for two different states that the inverter may report.
If you happen to be able to say exactly which one is "off" and possibly even what the other one means, I am happy to implement that. In that case, lets move that to a separate issue though :)
