[RE-wrenches] Number of Controllers

[mac Lewis]

William and other wrenches,

I have heard there may be an open-source solar (perhaps RE in general) data
transfer protocol coming, that will allow for different manufacturers
equipment to talk.  This could allow for many possibilities, including
expanding AC coupling opportunities, and transfer of data and settings.  I
don't really know any more details than "maybe, perhaps, possibly", but I
find the idea intriguing.  Anyone else "heard" anything?
