## Victron GX integration
Remains untested (I don't have an installation yet, but will maybe try on a Raspberry Pi or buy a Victron setup in the future).
Needs https://github.com/freakent/dbus-mqtt-devices to work.
To work, this needs
- https://github.com/freakent/dbus-mqtt-devices
- MQTT broker on the Victron controller to be active:

The disadvantage of using this method is that when your MQTT-broker goes down the Victron ESS will no longer work as desired.
If you are not using the Home Assistant part (only MQTT), you must remove the api: line from your ESPHome configuration, otherwise the ESP will reboot every 15 minutes because no client connected to the native API.

I'll maybe add other configs later to add PV inverter data to a GX device via MQTT and Home Assistant.
I tested this on a Raspberry Pi with Venus OS, but I don't have a Victron setup (yet). The meter shows up like expected, but was not yet tested on a full ESS system:
