[RE-wrenches] Midnite Inverter products, monitoring

[Jason Szumlanski]

It doesn't work, at least for HomeGrid. I spent $99 on a Parallels license
to try it. There are no drivers that work that I have found, and HomeGrid
is no help on that front.

I was able to get this kludge to work for EG4, but it was pretty
frustrating.
