Unable to control Inverter when PV = 0 & Battery SOC is at Minimum

This isn't a fault with the Integration. PV and Hybrid Inverters are designed to produce electricity and not consume.

PV Inverter's when PV = 0 they shut down.
Hybrid Inverter's when PV = 0 and Battery reaches Minimum SOC they shut down.

If you want to charge during the night you need to set a charge Window before the Hybrid Inverter shuts down.

Unrecognized XYZ inverter type - serial number : unknown

If you get unrecognized XYZ inverter type - serial number : unknown you don't have a working Modbus connection. Don't raise an issue, this isn't a fault of the Integration. Either use one of the existing discussions or start a new one to understand how to communicate with your Inverter.
