Highlights Adds normalized capability/telemetry metrics so accessory code no longer assumes GridBOSS data is always present. Broadens primary inverter/device discovery beyond an exact `18kpv` label. Adds inverter/parallel fallbacks for Battery, Solar, and Load telemetry. Adds explicit `N/A` handling when selected data is unavailable. Adds per-accessory visibility controls for Battery, Grid, Solar, Load, and Generator. Adds `show-na` vs `hide` … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	PR #6 · 2026-10
