Skylog Logger

Purpose
The purpose of this plugin is to read from Skylog loggers (See: https://home.alsoenergy.com/welcome-skytron)
Usage
Data is collected from Skylog loggers via the Web (Port 80 - http) interface. If using the Ardexa tunnel, the home page can be reached at http://{IP:PORT}/cgi-bin/rdccgi?show=cvim. This Skylog plugin has been developed to collect from 2 parts of the logger; Inverters and CVIM sensors. There must be a config file when running log. When running discover, a config file is optional, that is you can run a discover without a configuration file. In this case, all the variables are displayed along with the current value. If you have a configuration file when running discover, then the variables of interest are displayed, and everything else is ignored. ALWAYS run discover first to see which variables are available, before developing the config file. The config file defines which variables need to be collected, what names they appear on the the Ardexa cloud, units and scaling. Example file as follows:
# Ardexa Table Name,    Ardexa Source Name,     Ardexa Variable Name,   Skylog Variable Name,                  Type,               Units,      Scale
