[FEATURE] Suggestion to update some data in MQTT more often

[ivan-rio]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I created a few select controls for charging voltage, priority etc in Home Assistant using "DeviceData/..." MQTT topics as state topics for these controls. But the problem is that these topics are only updated on Solar2Mqtt startup. So i should manually reboot ESP after changing any parameter, to change the state of select controls.

Describe the solution you'd like

It will be great if in Solar2Mqtt settings will be option to enable more frequent updates of "DeviceData/..." topics like in "LiveData" topics.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only solution now is to reboot Solar2Mqtt manually.

@ivan-rio can you share your select controls somewhere?

@ivan-rio can you share your select controls somewhere?

Here is а short example:

mqtt:
  select:
      - name: "Float Voltage"
        icon: mdi:flash
        unique_id: "Easun SMH-II-0F6C29.select_float_voltage"
        options:
          - "27 V"
          - "28 V"
        state_topic: "Easun/DeviceData/Battery_float_voltage"
        value_template: >
          {% set values_map = {
                "27": "27 V",
                "28": "28 V",
              }
          %}
          {{ values_map[value] }}
        command_topic: "Easun/DeviceControl/Set_Command"
        command_template: >
          {% set value_map = {
                "27 V": "27.0",
                "28 V": "28.0",
              }
          %}
          PBFT{{ value_map[value] }}
        optimistic: false
        qos: 0
        retain: false
        device:
          identifiers: "Easun SMH-II-0F6C29"

I see that there is a trigger for update static parameters in source code in PI_Serial.cpp after the execution of custom command, but unfortunately sometimes it do not update to new values, so I added requestStaticData = true; in 120 line of PI_Serial.cpp to force the update of static values all time.
