+  * sunspec: ask the connection thing directly instead of resolving it by id.
+    The battery presence gate went through isFroniusChild(), which looks the
+    parent up in myThings(). During the initial setup the parent is not
+    registered yet, the lookup answers false, the Fronius gate is bypassed and
+    the phantom storage child is created after all. Caught on the bench, not
+    by the unit suite, which covers the decision and not the wiring. See
+    sunspec/DIVERGENCES.md D-7.
