Thanks for pointing that out.  I had found it in the last release, and
then found the master branch fixed versions.   I will see about making
any enhancements there and submitting them; you are entirely right that
any parsing and utility functions belong there.

I also intend to publish my code someplace.  It just checks status every
2s and reports json over mqtt, but it only sends a report if there is a
meaningful change or a minute has passed.  This avoids spamming Home
Assistant recorder database with every 2s voltage readings, but reports
immediately if it goes on battery or line voltage drops to 0.
