May 4, 20224 yr I installed the AM2 battery with a Kodak King inverter. The grey comms cable supplied by Hubble is connected to the battery CAN port, and to the battery port on the inverter. How do I check that the two are indeed talking?

Kodak and Hubble aren’t compatible unfortunately so you have to use voltages.
May 4, 20224 yr Author Damn, then I guess the best solution is to install a Riot Link from Hubble. Edited May 4, 20224 yr by CyberJoe

If a King or similar model with a removable display is successfully talking to a BMS, the battery segment (icon) will flash. If after a minute it doesn't connect, you get warning code 61 (from memory). Edited May 4, 20224 yr by Coulomb

I have a Hubble and a King and a RIOT, and I must say the total is extremely disappointing. Despite videos from Hubble posted a year ago about features to control the King's setting "coming soon" there is nothing. Most of the RIOT's data screens are blank. Pretty useless. I have read here that Solar Assistant (if memory serves) works well.
May 4, 20224 yr Author It seems that the comms choices for this combination is relatively slim. This is what I found so far, please do correct anything that is wrong. RIOTLINK from Hubble - Connects to the CAN on the battery and RS232 of the inverter SolarAssistant - Uses the inverter voltage values for battery details ICC/ICM - I understand that you can get a BMS cable @ R650.00 to connect the Raspberrry PI to the Hubble AM-2 battery to get the real battery values.

With the additional cable and direct connection to the battery, Solar Assistance will provide the Hubble BMS data and also the data from the Inverter. i.e. you get both

Which cable are you using? EDIT: Hang on, I am referring to the AM-2, the drop in battery replacement model is supported. Edited May 6, 20224 yr by CyberJoe
May 11, 20224 yr Author Can you confirm which port you are using on the Hubble AM-2, the RS232 port, or the RS232-Can port? Do you know if you can use both? RS232-CAN to Cloudlink, and RS232 to Solar Assistant?
May 11, 20224 yr RS232 I don't have a cloudlink, so no idea if you can use it in parallel. Edited May 11, 20224 yr by Mier
