    CraigL reacted to tertiuscpt in BMS Pace addon for Home Assistant   
    (Updated info further down in the post)
    I create a very simple Python script to interrogate the Pace BMS as used in some popular lithium battery brands. I've also packed this as a Home Assistant add-on, but can just as well be used as either a standalone script / within a docker container.
    It reports the voltage of cells, temperatures, the pack's current, voltage, SOC, SOH, and a few other metrics.
    Use at own risk. 
    Either a serial link to the RS232 port or via IP (using some port server over TCP) will work.
    Repository: https://github.com/Tertiush/bmspace
    The script serves by needs atm, so any further developments can be done by the community.

    UPDATE:
    I've rewritten most of this script using the official PACE RS232 Protocol definition. The script now supports multiple packs!
    I've only implemented informational messages / retrieving data, no commands.
    Use at own risk!
    Many new fields are now retrieved such as warnings, balancing data, status indications, etc.

    The amount of websites offering solar products overwhelmed me when I first looked into a system. Just the thought of transferring large amounts of cash to some online shop was putting me off.  Until I found this forum, where fellow members opinions made the decision easier.
    I finally decided to rather spend a few extra bucks and purchased from a well know company that was recommended on this forum - their name is on your browser URL bar 🙂
