I have used the structure of this but added a little more logic. I have ups, currentcost and Kaco inverter all on ttyUSBx. Since the ups is a megatec I am able to query it by sending "I" and it respond with the name of the device. I search the returned string for this and if it fails I then try again. This time I use your method of waiting for 8 seconds and then testing the string for "CC128". If I find this then I know its the current cost and if not its the inverter. Thanks for the assistance!!
