we finally have a official survey from Bluetti! Its about what devices we wish to have any kind of API (like to use in HomeAssistant) and what functionalitys we expect.
Hoping for many votes in this form:
Also calling all people, that participate in the HomeAssistant thread to give your vote here
And please don’t forget the off-grid parallel configurations (especially with the home battery systems EP600, EP760, etc)
This has cost me countless hours of searching, as several bluetooth parameter addresses are shifted when connected in parallel!
Call received!
Thank you for sharing the form. Just did it.
.
There is an interesting data collection feature inside the ESP module of the EP760 which is a sort of energy log and is built by canbus data message ID 0x11 and 0x14 which represent the accumulated energy data of various sources like load, pv, grid or generator. The log is divided by day, month and year and it can be useful to have it exported through this new API system to have a complete collection of the accumulated data, which can be consulted at any time or displayed in Home Assistant.
Recently got a new AC180, after the old one started playing. Really disappointed to find it has stopped working with Home Assistant, with the warhammer, and others, integration. I feel it is imperative, that it is controllable within Home assistant, as there are so many user in the same position, as demonstrated already by the number of availabe efforts on Github.
The only output is via bluetooth, so, some how this needs to be readable by home assistant. Whereas, at the moment, with the warhammer integration, we have to run a python script in the background on a PC, that then sends MQTT to home assistant.
Or
Something like the " hassio-bluetti-bt", which does not now connect to new encrypted machines.
Or
Perhaps, if Bluetti could produce , something like an ESPHome, type of dongle, that could connect to the power station, via bluetooth and then, that information could be availabe via wifi sent to Home assistant, maybe.
.
But ultimately, I agree we need “an official MQTT/HomeAssistant/HomeAutomation integration for Bluetti products”. I can’t believe it would be that difficult for the team at Bluetti, who have all the required information, rather than relying, on independent users to hack into the sytem,
.
Anyone who reads these post, I would strongly urge, to comment, to let Bluetti, know the strength of feeling.
Apologies, if this is a bit longwinded.
They work on it. Bluetti already provide a encryption module
Thats the main problem. Every function needs to be reverse engineered. The devs know all the modbus registers and could easily merge new function into projects
