It has been running in "production" (my real HA instance) for a week without problem.

@pantherale0 thank you for your review, it simplified greatly the error catching. |

No worries, the PR looks pretty good to be honest, there is a little bit around the device_registry handling that you could simplify. I assume the overview device is a sum of all the devices that a user may have in their account? |

But if we currently don't then we currently don't have to wrap it

How do devices work in hypontech? What if I have 2 devices?

In Hypontech, you have one account where you have access to devices in different locations ("Plant"). In each location you can have multiple devices (a batterie, a few micro inverters etc.). To have an idea of what are the informations available you can look at this example script https://github.com/jcisio/hyponcloud/blob/main/example.py.
So, if you have 2 micro inverters, usually they are in the same location. You might put them in different locations like balcony, garden but they are basically the same location. Location is used for weather forecast, so if all devices are at your house normally you want to put them in a single location.
Then "Overview" is aggregation of all locations.
For the simplicity, in this first PR I want just a virtual "overview" device.

I would kinda opt to say that we should implement the plants first, as that will provide better data than the complete overview. As in
- If someone has 2 locations (let's say office and home), then the overview is useless
- If you only have a single location, then the overview is useless compared to the location total, as they are the same
So I would say entities that have the exact sum aren't really useful by default

Again, I'd like to support the simplest and the most popular use case first to keep the PR small. Very few HA users have Hypontech inverters, amongst them very few have multiple locations.
This is also my first integration so I avoided to make it complicated, and I can test only one location in my setup. I can guess for multiple location, but I haven't checked the API for multiple devices per location. Dongles are not useful I think, but Inverters could replace locations.
That said, if you think this change helps it getting merged then I'd be happy to implement it. Location seems to be a good intermediate solution, and I think we will keep it anyway even if we implement inverters.

Done! I've added the Plant sensors.

Proposed change
Add an integration to support Hypontech micro inverters via Hyponcloud. It's a new company (established in 2018) growing fast and it's top 10 world wide.
