The plugin previously queried `/inverters` with `status: 1` and unconditionally accessed `in_result.infos[0].sn`. When an inverter entered fault state, the API returned an empty result and the child bridge repeatedly crashed. Closes #21.

Search all documented inverter states when Grid Power is enabled. Leave Grid Power unavailable … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | PR #22 · 2026-08 |
