Hey!
I look for a piece of software that can read data through a multitude of API’s of SmartMeters and Converters that have these APIs preconfigured in something like Plugins, where I just have to specify what kind of API it is and where the API is exposed (for example a local IP with the Solaredge Modbus API) and then can read the currently used power and send it to a remote server in a regular interval. I want to be able to configure the used Plugins and IP's etc with a config file, so I could theoretically config everything automatically based on some user input and just pass the config to a docker container or something. It would be great if I could use a Pi Zero to do all this. I don't need any dashboards etc, just a solution to read and transmit data where I don't have to read into 100 different API documentations. Is Home Assistant a viable solution for this or am I wrong here? If not, what should I look for?
#Is this the right software for transmitting data to a remote server?

To understand what I am referring to with "Plugins": I look for something like OpenHAB Bindings: https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/modbus.sunspec (I am considering OpenHAB but it's very bulky and probably wont run on a Pi Zero)

... I assume that's a no.
