I’ve run into a situation today where sometimes the bluetooth connection from one EP500P gets into a bad state, and looks like is not stable from this EP500P. Other EP500P are fine at the same time. I’m relying on the bluetooth to control the EP500Ps charging/grid state.
The issue is not phones or computer connecting to the bluetooth but rather the EP500P. From a computer I can see the device is still discoverable when this happens, but bluetoothctl shows connection and disconnect immediately from the device when attempting to connect to it.
On the EP500P I’ve turned off the bluetooth and turned it back on after waiting ~30 minutes. I’ve even tried shutting off wifi and bluetooth to resolve the state. However, nothing can reconnect to the bluetooth after enabling again (phones, computer). The only way to resolve this is to completely power cycle the EP500P, which is a major inconvenience (as it powers the house).
I see that I’m on the latest IOT for replacement EP500P2322xxx (v9041.06).
@BLUETTI Is there any other method to restart the communications (bluetooth/wifi) completely without having to power down? Can the firmware do this automatically these are shutdown for a specified period (lets say exactly 5 minutes)?
Ideally, the root cause needs to be found, but please let me know if there is a workaround, as this is causing a lot of frustration. Only one unit seems to have this issue.
