Add support for Janitza UMG806 (via UMG604 Master)

[schiegg]

Overview

This pull request adds support for the Janitza UMG806 energy meter.
In our setup, the UMG806 is connected as a Modbus RTU device behind a Janitza UMG604 acting as the master.
OpenEMS communicates with the UMG604 via Modbus TCP, and the UMG806 registers are accessed through this chain. When using a UMG604 as a gateway, the configuration must use the IP address of the UMG604 and the Modbus unit ID, which references the RTU input ID of the UMG806.

The implementation has been fully tested with real hardware (UMG806 + UMG604) at our demonstration site.

This development was carried out within the OMEI project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV).

Included Functionality

• Full Modbus-based device integration for the UMG806
• Register mapping and parsing of essential electrical measurements
• Compatibility with the UMG604 acting as a Modbus RTU → TCP gateway
• Integration of measured values into the existing OpenEMS data model

Technical Notes

• UMG806 operates as a Modbus RTU slave behind the UMG604
• OpenEMS communicates only via Modbus TCP, but transparently reads the UMG806 registers
• When using the UMG604 as a gateway, OpenEMS must be configured with the UMG604 IP and the Modbus unit ID corresponding to the RTU device
• Register structure and measurement formats follow the Janitza specifications
• All functionality was validated using live hardware

Testing

• Successful Modbus TCP communication with UMG604
• Access to UMG806 registers via the RTU path
• Approximate verification of voltages, currents, power, and energy readings
• Stable operation in a real OpenEMS setup

Just because I am curious - is it also possible to Connect to the UMG806 directly without the Master?

The Janitza UMG 806 meter itself does not support Modbus TCP, as it does not have an RJ45 interface. It is possible to achieve this using the UMG806-EC1 expansion module or as done via a master-slave architecture with a UMG604 as the master providing the ethernet connection.

Well possibly we should then mention this somewhere as this is not documented yet, right?

Where do you suggest to document it? That the extension is needed is described on the product page of Janitza already?

I actually would suggest to write a Hint in the Readme of the Janitza Package or in the Config.
It may be, that Janitza's Documentation does state this Info - still we have MANY Users, who just activate a Component and wonder why it won't work - opening an Issue on GitHub just because.

Comprehensible 😉 A hint at the modbus bridge would then be appropriate I guess, e.g. "ID of Modbus bridge to use. This type of meter can by default only be connected via Modbus TCP enabled master device like the UMG604."

Very well done. I don't have permissions to edit your PR, so I'll do the remaining changes and cleanups in a separate PR directly on develop.

Thank you for the contribution! 🚀

Ah... unfortunately I cannot fix the conflicts myself. Please update this PR to develop.

Please also add JUnit tests if possible for both implementations.

Done with d95698e, hope that helps.

Checkstyle problems were addressed with 7f0d927. For the missing whitespace in the last check I could't amend to my last commit as I had to synchronize our repos so there is also 793b761.
