  1. Hi All. In an attempt at smart home, I mistakenly bought Tuya smart Door/window sensors instead of ones compatible with SONOFF or eWelink. Now I'm stuck with three sensors which are up for sale. Location: Randburg Condition: Brand new selling for R125 each or R300 for all three

    Hello all, I purchased a 48v 200ah battery and didn't test before purchase. I'm an idiot. I know 😃 Turns out the BMS in it appears non-functional. Voltage testing on P- and B+ shows very low voltage. Testing on B-and B+ shows proper pack voltages. BMS appears to be in some sort of protection mode that I can't get it out of. I suspect a completely "throw in the bin" BMS. Looking for a another BMS with CAN just to get functional. I'm in Cape Town. Please PM if you have something laying about for cheap that you have no use for. Thanks
