-# Omnik Inverter Sensor Component for Home Assistant
-The Omnik Inverter Sensor component will retrieve data from an Omnik inverter connected to your local network.
-It has been tested and developed on an Omnik 4k TL2, 2k TL2 and it might work for other inverters as well.
+# Omnik Inverter Sensor for Home Assistant

-The values will be presented as sensors in [Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/).
+## Supported models
+- Omnik1000TL
+- Omnik1500TL
+- Omnik2000TL
+- Omnik2000TL2
+- Omnik4000TL2
+- Ginlong stick (JSON)

-## Configuration example
-
-To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:
-
-``` YAML
-sensor:
-  - platform: omnik_inverter
-    host: 192.168.100.100
-```
-
-By default caching the power today value is enabled, you can disable it using the `cache_power_today` configuration attribute. Check "How does it work?" when/why you might need to disable it.
-
-``` YAML
-sensor:
-  - platform: omnik_inverter
-    host: 192.168.100.100
-    cache_power_today: false
+│   ├── sensor.py
+│   └── strings.json
 ```
 
-Most inverters update the JS or JSON every 5 minutes. You increase or decrease this scan interval by setting the `scan_interval` config variable to the number of seconds you want.
-The default is set to 300 seconds (5 minutes).

-``` YAML
-sensor:
-  - platform: omnik_inverter
-    host: 192.168.100.100

-In a few cases the Omnik inverter resets the `solar_power_today` to 0.0 after for example 21:00. By
