HA Custom Component to integrate data from [4-noks Elios4you](https://www.4-noks.com/product-categories/solar-photovoltaic-en/elios4you-en/?lang=en) products.
Tested personally on my [Elios4you Pro](https://www.4-noks.com/shop/elios4you-en/elios4you-pro/?lang=en) to monitor tha main 3-phase 6kw line, plus my 7.5kW photovoltaic system.

Elio4you is a great product, it provides very reliable measurements, but it has no documented local API to get the energy data. Luckily, 3y ago I found [this great article](https://www.hackster.io/daveVertu/reverse-engineering-elios4you-photovoltaic-monitoring-device-458aa0) by Davide Vertuani, that reversed-engineered how the official mobile app communicated with the device to fetch data, and found out it's a tcp connection on port 5001, through which the app sent specific commands to which the device replies with data. That was a great find by Davide, and I initially used Node-RED to create a quick integration like Davide suggested in the article: I completed a full integration in 1 day and was rock solid, Node-RED is fantastic. :)
