Fronius Smart Meter

Teleport can read out Fronius Smart Meters through the Fronius Datamanager. The Smart Meter must be connected to the Fronius Datamanager via Modbus RTU over RS485, while the Teleport is connected to the Datamanager using Modbus TCP over ethernet. More configuration information can be found in the official documentation.
