timeseries2csv.py: Did something severely change?

[eckarth]

I am new here, but am only getting the weirdest output from timeseries2csv.py

$ ./timeseries2csv.py --host 192.168.178.24 --port 8899 --resolution=minutes --count=1 1

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Did something change, which then broke this code?

I should mention that the little sample given in the docs tab works just fine.

Any suggestions?

TIA Eckart

Not used this feature, but "unexpected frame oid"s often come if another device (e.g. the iOS/Android App) also accesses the inverter.
Or the "portal".

The device seems to send a lot of invalid data in between. I think Stephan's version is more stable to catch the errors: https://github.com/stephanritscher/python-rctclient
