Re: Battery Balancing

If Python is your thing I should be able to give you some PoC code for monitoring the raw values coming out of the BMS (Com) which can be pushed to MQTT (HA hosted Mosquitto) or modbus TCP. It will help with local rapid data measurements of charge rates, high and low cell volts, temps, etc Hardware ...

If you want to stop it automatically force charging you could set dawn/day buffers to 0 (to stop it padding the charge ...

[HA Integration] Energy Management

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past couple of weeks/months 😀 Frustrated by continually needing to balance solar forecast vs. battery capacity vs. house load... I set about writing a Home Assistant integration to automate the calculations, and ensure that the batteries are ch ...
