Meter Eastron SDM630 smiliarity

1

Hi Community,

we’ve noticed that the SDM72D-M-2 is technically identical to the SDM630 — both in terms of communication protocol and register mapping.

How should we handle this case?

@stefan.feilmeier — would it make sense to simply add a note in the README mentioning that the SDM72D-M-2 can be used with the existing SDM630 implementation? Or do you prefer that we explicitly duplicate the Code renaming it to SDM72D to make it clearer for users?

Regards

IMHO adding a Note to README and Config would be the right choice to make compatibility clear. Factory-IDs can usually not be changed for backwards compatibility. We should not duplicate code if it can be avoided.
