Output data format

Data will be sent into MQTT topic with name {mqttPrefix}/{fieldName} where:

• mqttPrefix is value defined in config.yaml e.g. /sensors/energy/inverter
• fieldName is measurement name, all available measurements are described in adapters/devices/sofar/sofar_protocol.go, e.g. PV_Generation_Today

Full topic name for given example values is /sensors/energy/inverter/PV_Generation_Today. Additional field is All which contains all measurements and their values marshalled into one json.
